DYNAMIC FREEWAY TRAVEL TIME PREDICTION USING SINGLE LOOP DETECTOR AND INCIDENT DATAXia, Jingxin 01 January 2006 (has links)
The accurate estimation of travel time is valuable for a variety of transportation applications such as freeway performance evaluation and real-time traveler information. Given the extensive availability of traffic data collected by intelligent transportation systems, a variety of travel time estimation methods have been developed. Despite limited success under light traffic conditions, traditional corridor travel time prediction methods have suffered various drawbacks. First, most of these methods are developed based on data generated by dual-loop detectors that contain average spot speeds. However, single-loop detectors (and other devices that emulate its operation) are the most commonly used devices in traffic monitoring systems. There has not been a reliable methodology for travel time prediction based on data generated by such devices due to the lack of speed measurements. Moreover, the majority of existing studies focus on travel time estimation. Secondly, the effect of traffic progression along the freeway has not been considered in the travel time prediction process. Moreover, the impact of incidents on travel time estimates has not been effectively accounted for in existing studies.The objective of this dissertation is to develop a methodology for dynamic travel time prediction based on continuous data generated by single-loop detectors (and similar devices) and incident reports generated by the traffic monitoring system. This method involves multiple-step-ahead prediction for flow rate and occupancy in real time. A seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model is developed with an embedded adaptive predictor. This predictor adjusts the prediction error based on traffic data that becomes available every five minutes at each station. The impact of incidents is evaluated based on estimates of incident duration and the queue incurred.Tests and comparative analyses show that this method is able to capture the real-time characteristics of the traffic and provide more accurate travel time estimates particularly when incidents occur. The sensitivities of the models to the variations of the flow and occupancy data are analyzed and future research has been identified.The potential of this methodology in dealing with less than perfect data sources has been demonstrated. This provides good opportunity for the wide application of the proposed method since single-loop type detectors are most extensively installed in various intelligent transportation system deployments.

Kalman Filter Estimation Of Ionospheric TEC And Differential Instrumental Biases Over Low Latitude Using Dual Frequency GPS ObservationsAnand Raj, R 03 1900 (has links)
The low latitude tropical ionosphere has been investigated by various researchers
using Global Positioning System (GPS). Presently for many civil aviation applications, the ionospheric modeling of the tropical region has gained importance, in particular for flight safety. Since ionosphere is dispersive in nature, dual frequency (L1 = 1575.42 MHz and L2 = 1227.60 MHz) GPS observations can be used to obtain Ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC). Since TEC varies with local time and geomagnetic latitude, an Ionospheric Modeling Technique using spatial linear approximation of vertical TEC over receiver station has been implemented following Sardon et al. The effects of all the
systematic errors due to the satellite plus the receiver (SPR) instrumental biases can reach upto several nanoseconds. (1 TEC is 1016 electrons/m2, 1 ns = 2.86 TEC and
1 TEC = 0.16 m). Hence, to have an accurate estimation of ionospheric TEC, the
instrumental biases must also be estimated. This thesis describes a heuristic adaptive
Kalman Filtering scheme developed to estimate the TEC, the constants in the
linearisation scheme, as well as the above total instrumental biases.
The Kalman filter implementation is basically an optimization problem of
minimizing the Cost Function J based on the difference between the model output and the
measurement, called as the ‘innovation’, scaled by its covariance. In order to obtain the best possible results using the Kalman Filter approach, it is essential to provide
appropriate values for the initial state, process and measurement noise covariances (P0, Q and R) respectively, which in general may not be known. Usually manual tuning of the filter parameter is carried out without using the above cost function J! The filter
estimates can be highly sensitive to the above chosen statistics and thus these will have to be estimated carefully. Hence, we have utilized the Adaptive Kalman Filtering procedure of Myers and Tapley extended by Gemson and Ananthasayanam. The minimization is carried out by simultaneously estimating the above statistics and the unknown
parameters, which include the TEC and the instrumental bias. In addition, A Constant
Gain Kalman Filter approach using Genetic Algorithm (GA) has also been developed for
the above requirement. It is observed that the steady state gains in KF and AKF
approaches are in good match with the constant gains obtained from Genetic Algorithm.
Using the above Adaptive Kalman Filtering technique and Constant Gain Kalman Filter approach, vertical TEC values and SPR biases have been estimated from the IGS receiver observations stationed at ISTRAC/ISRO, Bangalore, India. A diurnal TEC variation over Bangalore for a period of one year for 2003 and January 2004 is estimated and reported in this thesis. This approach has also been applied to study the behaviour of
the ionosphere over low latitude IGS station at Fortaleza, Brazil data during the great
magnetic storm on the 15th July 2000 and the results were found to be consistent with the
results of Basu et al. In addition, Using Constant Kalman filter, the TEC enhancement
over Indian region has been estimated for the October 2003 Ionospheric storm, and the
results were found to be consistent with the reported results in the literature.
