Detection spacing of DSRC-based data collection system for real-time highway travel time estimation
A DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication)-based traffic data collection system has been introduced to enhance the accuracy of real-time traffic information. However, due to the lack of studies for the DSRC system on interrupted flow condition, there is no installation guideline of DSRC road-side equipment (RSEs) on the national highways in Korea. This study presented an appropriate spacing of DSRC RSEs for the national highways based on the accuracy of traffic information and the required minimum sample size. By analyzing the field data collected on the national highways, the optimal spacing of DSRC RSEs was selected for each type of road. According to the result, the optimal spacing for control led-access highway was different from that for multi-lane road and urban and suburban arterial. It implies that detection spacing should be determined considering the type of road. These results would be utilized as a guideline for installing DSRC RSEs on the national highways.
