Virtual Detection Zone in smart phone, with CCTV, and Twitter as part of an Integrated ITS

Abstract

Abstract In this proposed integrated Intelligent Transport System, GPS enabled smart phones, and video cameras are used as traffic sensors, while Twitter is used as verifier. They are attractive because they are non intrusive, and consequently more practical and cheaper to implement. Our novel Virtual Detection Zone (VDZ) method has been able to map match by using pre-determined check points. VDZ speed accuracy ranges from 93.4 to 99.9% in higher speeds and it only needs one longitude and latitude coordinate, to form a detection aware zone. Also by using ANFIS we show that a more accurate traffic condition can be obtained using our three sources of data.
