    This document discusses different technologies for automatic traffic counting, including in-situ and in-vehicle methods. In-situ technologies are divided into instrusive and non-instrusive methods. Instrusive methods like embedded magnetometers, pneumatic tubes, and inductive detector loops are mounted on or below the road surface. Non-instrusive methods like video image detection, infrared sensors, and microwave Doppler/radar sensors are mounted above the road. In-vehicle methods use GPS and RFID to track vehicle locations as they pass certain points to collect traffic data. The document also defines capacity as the maximum traffic flow rate a road can accommodate, and levels of service as a concept to relate traffic flow quality to volume using grades

    (1) Explain in - situ technology of Automatic traffic count .

    -- In-situ traffic count technology can be devided into


    two categories :
    1- Instousive technology
    2- Non - Instrusive technology
    Instrusive technologies that are physically measured
    and mounted on or below the road surface Installation
    of which causes potential disruption to traffic.
    Non Instrusive technologies are mounted at Or above
    the road ; traffic will be little disrupted by this
    .Detectors of both types temporary or permenant nature
    through sub-surface is instousive installations are by
    necessity , usually permenent .
    All in - situ detectors will provide some measure of the
    volume of vehicle now .
    Particular detectors technologies will vary as to their
    reability of the Flow estimate and their ability to provide
    accurate additional information on vehicle. Category or
    speed. A single sensor gives only How or occupancy
    informations .
    Instrusive technologies :
    * Rambedded magnetometers =:magnetometers
    monitor for fluctuations in the relative strength of the
    Earth's magnetic field which is changed by the presence
    object like vehicle of a moving metal A single passive
    magnetic system. collects flow occupancy Two
    magnetometer systems. collect How occupancy, vehicle
    length and speed.
    *Pneumatic tube detectors : Pneumatic ∙rode tube
    sensors send burst of air pressure along a rubber tube
    when vehicle fire passes over the tube. The pulse of air
    pressure. tubes on air switch. electrical to a producing an
    signal that is transmitted counter or analysis

    Inductive detector loops : → oscillating electrical signal
    is applied to the loops. The metal counter of a moving
    vehicle chasis changes the electrical are dected

    vehicle event. triggering a vehical event.
    Non - Instrusive technologies :

    video image detection (VID) :Traffic parameters. are


    collected by frame. by frame analysis of video-image
    captured by road side camaras. The following
    parameters are collected; depending upon processing
    methodology almost all traffic. parameters are captured
    from video analysis.
    Infrared sensors : The sensors. view are measured
    overhead to approching. or departing traffic or truffic
    from side - looking configuration. I'm frured sensors are
    used for signal control. Real time signal processing is
    rused to analyze the recevied signals For presence of
    vehicle.
    microwave- Doppler and Radar :Llow energy microwave
    radiations are transmitted into the detection zone.
    objects within the zome reflects a portion. Lof the
    radiations back to a receivers. Doppler units. used the
    Frequency shift of the return to calculate speed.
    2) Explain in vehicle technology of automatic traffic count.
    --There are many networks management systems who
    termed Las use in vehicle technology Automatic venide

    give information. of location when vehicle passes a
    certain points.
    GPS based :
    GPs is becoming more useful and in expensive, few cars.
    had been equiped with pass GPS system and were made
    to certain point in the networks. The vehicle location
    precision was found to be vealy high, which is lesser than
    80m. Data obtained From GPS for traffic is more
    accurate and relative with situations. Currently in
    developed countries GPS data. Las ·are widely used
    source of real-time location details. by many system

    It requires some extent of cooperation of an REID

    Three components. OF REID :
    1) An antena or coil
    (2) A tranceiver with decoders.
    3) A transponder.

    -3) Discuss the capacity and levels of services concept in


    detail.

    Capacity:
    Capacity of a transport failed is defined as the
    maximum number of vehicles. Passengers bike per unit
    time which can be accomodate under given condition
    with a reasonable expectations. of occurcince. The
    highway crpacity manual defined the capacity as the
    maximum how dy rate at which person for vehicle a point
    or can be expected to transvers uniform segment of a
    lane or roadway during a given time period, under
    prevailing roadway, traffic and control condition.
    It is usually defined for a point or a uniform segment
    conditions do not where operating vary
    level of Service :level of service of a traffic fucility is a
    concept introduced to relate the quality of traffic
    service to given flow rate level of service is introduced by
    Hem level of quality one to denote the can receive from
    local under different operation characteristics. and
    traffic Volume. Hcm proposes Los as designate range
    conditions on Facility. six los by Hem namely letter that of
    operating particular type of letter are defined. A, B, C, D, E
    and F. where A denote the best quality of Service and f
    denote the worst. These definations. are based on
    measures of effectiveness. of the facility. Typical
    measure of effectiveness include speed. travel time,
    density, delay etc.
