A traffic signal and loop detector dataset of an urban intersection regulated by a fully actuated signal control system.

Fully actuated signal controls are becoming increasingly popular in modern urban environments, attempting to reduce congestion locally, synchronize flows, or prioritize specific types of vehicles. This trend is expected to grow as more vehicles are expected to communicate via Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication. The presented dataset contains cleaned observations from a fully actuated signal control system with priority for public transportation.

An Experimental Urban Case Study with Various Data Sources and a Model for Traffic Estimation.

A reliable estimation of the traffic state in a network is essential, as it is the input of any traffic management strategy. The idea of using the same type of sensors along large networks is not feasible; as a result, data fusion from different sources for the same location should be performed. However, the problem of estimating the traffic state alongside combining input data from multiple sensors is complex for several reasons, such as variable specifications per sensor type, different noise levels, and heterogeneous data inputs.
