Development and Implementation Guidance for a Traffic Count Extraction Program for Kansas City, Kansas, Using KC Scout Sensors Data
| 项目名称： | Development and Implementation Guidance for a Traffic Count Extraction Program for Kansas City, Kansas, Using KC Scout Sensors Data |
| 摘要： | Kansas City Metropolitan area traffic is monitored by KC Scout (traffic management center), a two-state agency designed to collect vehicle data, assist with disabled vehicles, and provide critical information. KC Scout’s sensor network in Kansas covers major interstates such as I-35, I-435, I-70 and also state highways. Extensive data from the KC Scout Wavetronix sensor network has been investigated by K-State previously including updating the lane closure guide, and also finding limitations of data collection by the sensors during work zone operations. Although KC Scout is very effective in many respects, the research team would like to provide KDOT’s planning department a tool to extract accurate traffic counts using the KC Scout sensor network at key locations around the metropolitan area based on ground truthing. Additionally, the research team proposes an “implementation guide” or users manual on how to extract the data, request sensor calibration, and if any expansion factors are needed to the output data. The research team envisions an extraction program that can be connected to the existing TransCore database and work similar to the lane closure guide to provide accurate average daily traffic (ADT) counts to both KDOT and subcontractors. Prior to developing the proposed extraction program and implementation guidance, a ground-truthing protocol will be used to determine the accuracy and limitations of Wavetronix sensors at selected locations as determined by the research team and KDOT. |
