Traffic Density Classification Using Sound Datasets: An Empirical Study on Traffic Flow at Asymmetric Roads

Abstract

Recently, with the rapid growth of Deep Learning models for solving complicated classification problems, urban sound classification techniques have been attracted more attention. In this paper, we take an investigation on how to apply this approach for the transportation domain. Specifically, traffic density classification based on the road sound datasets, which have been recorded and preprocessed on the urban road network, is taken into account. In particular, state-of-the-art methods for analyzing and extracting sound datasets have taken into account for the classification problem of traffic flow. Consequently, this study focuses on three main processes which are: i) generating image representation for the sequences of the road sound datasets; ii) proposing a convolutional neural network model for the feature extraction; iii) adopting a hybrid approach for the classification stage by combining convolutional neural network with other machine learning models. Regarding the experiment, the road sound dataset has been collected at an urban asymmetric road with different time periods (e.g., morning and evening) in order to evaluate our proposed method. Specifically, the implementations show promising results in which the accuracies are able to achieve from 92% to 95% for classifying traffic densities with different time periods.

A State-of-the-Art Review for Gastric Histopathology Image Analysis Approaches and Future Development

“…In [ 83 ], the authors used a combination of convolutional neural network and machine learning classifier to classify traffic density and compared CNN, CNN-SVM, CNN-RF, and CNN-Xgboot to select an appropriate model. This method can also be applied to gastric cancer histopathological images.…”

Masked Token Enabled Pre-Training: A Task-Agnostic Approach for Understanding Complex Traffic Flow

“…The TF can be split into three categories: free flow, the dense flow and the congested flow. Bui et al [15] investigate how traffic sound data can be used to classify the traffic density. To extract sound features and achieve TF categorization, they propose a graph-based representation learning approach employing convolutional neural networks (CNN).…”

Analysis of Two-Piano Teaching Assistant Training Based on Neural Network Model Sound Sequence Recognition

“…The model adopts the parameter sharing mode of hard sharing. By sharing the bottom two LSTM layers (512 units in each layer), the two tasks can extract some common features together [ 17 ]. Due to the strong correlation between the two tasks, the model directly takes the two fully connected output layers as the private modules of the two tasks, which can greatly reduce the number of parameters in the whole network.…”
