User-Defined Privacy-Preserving Traffic Monitoring Against n-by-1 Jamming Attack

Traffic monitoring services collect traffic reports and respond to users' traffic queries. However, the reports and queries may reveal the user's identity and location. Although different anonymization techniques have been applied to protect user privacy, a new security threat arises, namely, n-by-1 jamming attack, in which an anonymous...

Framework for Network-Constrained Tracking of Cyclists and Pedestrians

The increase in perception capabilities of connected mobile sensor platforms (e.g., self-driving vehicles, drones, and robots) leads to an extensive surge of sensed features at various temporal and spatial scales. Beyond their traditional use for safe operation, available observations could enable to see how and where people move on sidewalks...

Traffic state estimation based on Eulerian and Lagrangian observations in a mesoscopic modeling framework

The paper proposes a model-based framework for estimating traffic states from Eulerian (loop) and/or Lagrangian (probe) data. Lagrangian-Space formulation of the LWR model adopted as the underlying traffic model provides suitable properties for receiving both Eulerian and Lagrangian external information. Three independent methods are proposed...

Detecting Suspicious Behavior in Marine Traffic using the Automatic Identification System

Monitoring marine vessel traffic is a labor intensive job. In order to identify possible unsafe situations and vessels breaking the law, a port traffic control authority needs to observe marine vessel traffic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Human operators are good at identifying abnormal behavior, but are unable to do so for extended periods of...

Probe data from consumer GPS navigation devices for the analysis of controlled intersections

Probe data from consumer GPS navigation devices provides a network-wide and costefficient data source for measuring vehicle movements, whereas experimental studies have been confined to small datasets. Data collection from road-side sensors can provide similar information but is expensive and requires high maintenance expenditures. This paper...

Navigating for new traffic solutions: The use of probe data from consumer GPS navigation devices for the analysis of controlled intersections

Probe data from consumer GPS navigation devices provides a network-wide and cost-efficient data source for measuring vehicle movements. The measurement of traffic volume, route choice and delay on intersections is needed for efficient intersection control. Data collection from road-side sensors can provide this information but is expensive and...

A System for the Acquisition and Analysis of Image Sequences to Model Longitudinal Driving Behavior

Traffic causes important problems in many societies. Considerable amounts of energy, money and time are wasted in traffic jams and even more important are car accidents and casualties in traffic (more than 40,000 deaths per year in the USA (Hitti (2005)) and 791 deaths in 2007 in the Netherlands (van Verkeer en Waterstaat (2008))). To alleviate...
