Abstract

The efficiency of road networks can be increased by implementing traffic management and control systems or by providing the driver more accurate information in order to assist him in avoiding traffic congestion. Efficient operation of such systems requires reliable information about the actual traffic situation within the whole road network, which means that accurate data must be obtained for each of the road sections. In this article such a system is introduced; the system uses inductive loop detectors and pattern recognition principles to re-identify vehicles after they have passed a specific road section.
