Project Description:
The detection performance of two smart sensors (Wavetronix and one other company) will be studies to determine the potential errors on such
measure of effectiveness as missed calls, false calls, stuck on calls and dropped calls. The potential errors will then be verified by human observers.
The sensors will be installed at an existing test bed in Rantoul that has been used for evaluation of other sensors. The RR site is in Chicago area.
Keywords: smart vehicle sensors, intersection detectors, microwave vehicle sensors, signalized intersections
