Project Background

Cellular Probes


Cellular Probe Feasibility Study

Overview

• Project History

• Project Team– Kansas Department of Transportation– Cellint– Kansas City Scout– Telvent Farradyne

• Project Funding


KDOT Goals

• Determine the general feasibility of the cell probe technology.

• Determine possible applications for the cell probe average speed data.– Incident detection– Speed mapping– Travel times– Performance measures


Project Timeline

• January 2006 – Discussions begin between KDOT and Cellint.

• February 2006 – Scout begins providing speed data to Cellint.

• March 2006 – Cellint creates a website with speed bands.


Project Timeline (Cont.)

• June through August, 2006 – Cellint provides blind speed data along the I-435 study corridor.

• Winter 2006/2007 – Scout analyzes the blind test data and produces a preliminary report.

• Summer 2007 – Final report to be completed.

Data Analysis

Cellular Probes



Analysis Overview

• General Feasibility Analysis

Review how the Cellint speed bands change during accidents and construction lane closures.

• Detailed Speed Data Analysis

Cellint provides blind cell probe speed data so Scout can perform an independent study.

Methodology

Cellular Probes



Approach

• Slowdown analysis– Use two algorithms– Identify slowdowns– Match slowdowns– Compare results (percent matched,

average lag)


Frequency Distribution of Slowdowns by Start Time and Data Source(I-435, all study sites, all days)

Approach

• Category analysis– Binned speeds (from ATMS)

• <25mph (red)• 25-35mph (yellow)• >35mph (green)

– Compared bin for each time interval– R=R, Y=Y, and (R+Y)=(R+Y)

Conclusions

Cellular Probes



Advantages

• No ROW required

• No FTEs required

• No DOT maintenance required

• Public-private partnerships

• Continuous coverage– Smart Work Zones

• Direct measure of travel times


Caveats

• Time lag– 3 to 12 min

• Congestion sensitivity– Why?– Pro or con?– Market saturation dependant?

• Volume sensitivity


Summary

• Not for all applications…ATISTravel times Incident detectionPerformance measures


Summary

• Viable technology– Clearly reflects traffic

• Growing data source

• Young technology
