PROPOSAL ABOUT STANDARDIZATION FOR AUTOMATIC INCIDENT DETECTION SYSTEMS IN TUNNELS

This paper discusses a proposed standard architecture for image processing systems which will enable automatic incident detection systems to be introduced into any of the diverse range of tunnels managed by the Japan Highway Public Corporation. The proposed system separates vehicle detection and incident judgement functions in order to a) standardise the specifications for various types of image processor, b) to allow a system structure not dependent on a vehicle-exact algorithm, c) facilitate the development of algorithms to judge incidents and d) to accommodate the criteria for judging incidents in the incident judgement function and facilitate changes to the irregularity judgement criteria which differ according to the road and operating conditions of the system. Details are given of the proposed system and the results of tests carried out with a prototype. For the covering abstract see IRRD 882109.
