Question

Explain the importance of vehicle trajectory data complementary to the vehicle count data.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer

We know that vehicle trajectory data represents the time and space locations of vehicle as it traverse through certain path.

It is often necessary to have Vehile trajectory data along with the vehicle count so that one can know number of trips are made and grouped them based on their zones of origin and destination, timings of the day etc. 

To produce and test various necessary software and hardware for enhancing the traffic signal control operations saimultaneously with vehice trajectories

It helps in developing the trip generation  and trip distribution models for other planning process for existing highway system.

It helps in measuring time, speed and acceleration distributions along the roadway section so that we can know the  need of bypass  to avoid delay on that path of travel.

It  help in monitoring and conveying important traffic information related to congested area and  adequacy of present parking facilities in a particular area and the need of future.
