A method is discussed for estimating the number of vehicles on a section of a roadway from speed and flow measurements at the entrance and exit points of the section. The method consists of obtaining rough estimates of this count at regular intervals, and then filtering random errors of these estimates by means of a sequential correction scheme. Emphasis is placed on economy in instrumentation and data processing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
