LOCAL QUEUE DETECTION AND WARNING SYSTEM . CONFERENCE PAPERS ON THE WORKING DAYS ON TRAFFIC ENGINEERING 1989

LOKALE FILEDETEKTIE EN FILEBEVEILIGINGSSYTEEM

This report describes the following: (a) a survey of incident detection algorithms; (b) functional and technical specifications of a local queue warning system; and (C) functional and technical specifications of a local queue detection system. Some existing incident detection algorithms are also compared. The incident detection algorithm giving the best results is a rather simple algorithm. The specifications describe a queue warning system, that, on the basis of automatic incident detection, activates a queue warning sign or sends a queue warning message to an external device like a traffic controller.
