Abstract

See full text

An online traffic volume monitoring system based on a phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry and its monitoring method are related to a field of intelligent transportation and an application of distributed fiber sensing. A vehicle moving temporal-spatial response graph is generated by accumulating differentiated Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry tracks at different moments in one unit monitoring period for traffic volume statistics, and then converted into a vehicle moving trajectory image through binarization and image pre-processing. Parameters of the moving vehicles are detected by utilizing a search-match method. A traffic volume, moving speeds, moving directions and locations are obtained respectively from detected trajectory number, and a tilt angle and pixel positions. The monitoring method is helpful to solve traffic congestion problem and informing drivers of real-time traffic volume, and contributes to realize an intelligent city traffic regulation.
