INVESTIGATION OF TRAFFIC DYNAMICS BY AERIAL PHOTOGRAMMETRY TECHNIQUES

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY AND A SUMMARY OF THE CONTENTS OF THE REPORT ARE PRESENTED. A DESCRIPTION IS PROVIDED OF A NEW REDUCTION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF EXTRACTING DATA FROM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONVERTING IT TO A READILY USABLE FORM FOR THE COMPUTER. AN INVESTIGATION IS SUMMARIZED OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRAFFIC STREAM IN THE VICINITY OF A TRAFFIC BOTTLENECK. A DETAILED INVESTIGATION IS GIVEN OF THE POTENTIAL OF TRAFFIC ENERGY AS A MEASURE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A TRAFFIC STREAM.
