| 摘要： | This project continues research aimed at real-time detection and use of pedestrian traffic flow information to enhance adaptive traffic signal control in urban areas where pedestrian traffic is substantial and must be given appropriate attention and priority. Our recent work with Surtrac, a real-time adaptive signal control system for urban grid networks, has resulted in an extended intersection scheduling procedure that integrates sensed pedestrians and vehicles into aggregate multi-modal traffic flows and allocates green time on this integrated basis. In this project we consider the companion problem of providing the pedestrian sensing capability necessary for effective use of this extended intersection scheduling procedure. Although some commercial pedestrian detection and counting capabilities do exist, they typically require the purchase and installation of additional higher resolution video camera technology, which can double the cost of detection per intersection. Our interest is in a solution that does not significantly increase infrastructure cost. The hypothesis investigated in this work is that lower resolution vehicle detection camera technology can be used to provide a relaxed form of pedestrian count data that is sufficient for incorporating pedestrian flow information into real-time intersection scheduling. Specifically, we study the possibility of extracting an approximate but usable measure of pedestrian “density” from the video stream of a commercial traffic camera. Our target functionality is the ability to qualitatively discriminate between “no”, “few” or “many” waiting pedestrians. Contemporary traffic camera technologies provide resolution as low as 320 × 240 gray scale images, together with the ability to specify and monitor a set of occupancy zones within the image. |
