Using decision trees to improve the accuracy of vehicle signature reidentification Tawfik, Ahmed Y et al
Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2004Description: nr 1886, s. 24-33Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1886; VTI P8169:2004Location: Abstract: Vehicle reidentification is the process of tracking a vehicle along a highway as it crosses detection stations. Inductive loop detectors are by far the most widely deployed vehicle detectors. In the present work, vehicle reidentification is performed by combining vehicle-specific information (length and electromagnetic signatures) and some contextual information (lane, speed, and time) to form a decision tree. This approach provides a specific decision tree for tracking vehicles along each highway section. After training, the decision tree successfully classified about 95% of the unseen test records--a significant improvement relative to the literature and our own previous work on the same data. This success rate has been consistently obtained from two data sets: one consisting only of passenger vehicles and another consisting of a representative traffic mix.Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
