AUTOMATED TRAFFIC SENSOR PLACEMENT PLANNING

摘要

A system for automated traffic sensor placement includes a sensor placement module configured to determine where a plurality of traffic flow monitoring sensors are to be placed within a network of roadways to observe or infer traffic flow volume through each of a plurality of roadway arcs of interest. An arc prioritization module is configured to determine a relative priority of each of the arcs of interest. A sensor selection module is configured to receive an indication of how many sensors are available to deploy and select a corresponding number of sensors for deployment from among the traffic flow monitoring sensors to be placed based on the relative arc priorities determined by the arc prioritization module.
