Road traffic density estimation using microscopic and macroscopic parameters

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an algorithm for road traffic congestion estimation from video scenes.

• We compare between macroscopic and microscopic parameters in terms of accuracy.

• The method proposed is accurate, and it is computationally inexpensive.

• It does not require segmentation or tracking of vehicles.

• It is robust towards illumination changes.
