ACQUIRING TRAVEL TIME AND NETWORK LEVEL ORIGIN-DESTINATION DATA ANALYSIS BY MACHINE VISION ANALYSIS OF VIDEO PLATE IMAGES

This study presents an evaluation of the current state-of-practice employing video and machine vision technologies to acquire and analyze license plate images. Both fixed installations and mobile setups are considered. Examples are presented of various applications including: cordon-line origin-destination surveys; link-by-link travel time distributions; micro-scale origin-destination patterns; movements within complex interchanges; and, designing and monitoring use of high occupancy vehicle lanes. Field procedures, resource requirements and the statistical validity of the results of various applications are discussed.
