Acquirement of night traffic information of road net is very important to network comprehensive utilization improvement. Due to interference of vehicle lights at night, it is very difficult to segment vehicles from nighttime traffic video. This paper suggested the average brightness and traffic speed in observing region to characterize traffic states, and analysis the effectiveness of parameters. Meanwhile, the extraction of these parameters do not need to vehicle segmentation. Based on RBF neural network, we achieve automatic road condition recognition, and obtain a higher coincidence rate with manual classification.
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.
