Description: | This report presents a methodology using vision-based object recognition algorithms to detect and track vehicles intruding into a work zone, and to detect missing work zone channelization traffic control devices such as barrels. The intent is to enable activation of early warnings for workers and drivers so that they can avoid hazards. The research was done through the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Project 139, Development of a Sensing Methodology for Intelligent and Reliable Work-Zone Hazard Awareness. |
