Real-Time Queue Length Estimation for Signalized Intersections Using Vehicle Trajectory Data
2017
Queue length is one of the most important performance measures for signalized intersections. Many methods for queue length estimation based on various data sources have been proposed in the literature. With the latest developments and applications of probe vehicle systems, cycle-by-cycle queue length estimation based only on probe data has become a promising research topic. However, most existing methods assume that information such as signal timing, arrival pattern, and penetration rate is known, an assumption that constrains their applicability in practice. The objective of this study was to propose a cycle-by-cycle queue length estimation method using only probe data without the foregoing assumption. Based on the shock wave theory, the proposed method is capable of reproducing the dynamic queue forming and dissipating process cycles at signalized intersections by using probe vehicle trajectories. To reproduce the queuing processes, the inflection points of probe vehicle trajectories representing the ch...
