An FCD Information Processing Model under Traffic Signal Control

Nowadays Float Car Data (FCD) is playing an important role in real-time traffic information systems. However, traffic signal control in urban road network will cause random delay on float cars, and this kind of delay will result in considerable fluctuation of travel time. Thus, the accuracy of FCD system is seriously affected. In this paper, float car refining models are proposed to calculate the stopped-time delay by means of low-sampling-rate FCD. And then, the classification of controlled delay and non-controlled delay is performed in order to remove traffic signal control´s affection, and to obtain the data which can truly reflect the traffic flow characteristics. The contrast experiments indicate that the accuracy of the FCD system has achieved significant improvement after applying the new processing model.
