| dc.description.abstract | The research analyzes the operating performance of three vehicle detection technologies for use in the City of Winnipeg. The technologies were: Autoscope Encore (video sensor), Iteris Vantage Edge2 (video sensor) and Matrix Wavetronix (microwave sensor). The sensors were tested in the tow eastbound lanes and two turning lanes on the intersection of Bishop Grandin Blvd and St.Mary's Road in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The research considered 24 weather, illumination, wind and traffic conditions. Testing and analysis was completed at the stop bar, and advance zone as well as for count performance. Sensitivity is a measure of the number of calls missed by the sensor. In terms of sensitivity, Iteris performed best overall, performing with greater sensitivity than Autoscope and Matrix in 17 of 24 conditions at the stop bar and outperforming in 11 of 12 conditions for advanced zone detection in this research. For count performance the Iteris had better accuracy when compared to ground truth established by Miovision Technologies, than Autoscope and Matrix. | en_US |
