TLDR
The main conclusions from the simulations are that the performance of the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalmanfilter is comparable, joint filtering performs significantly better than dual filtering, and a larger number of detectors results in better state estimation, but has no significant influence on the parameter estimation error.
Abstract
We present a comparison for several filter configurations for freeway traffic state estimation. Since the environmental conditions on a freeway may change over time (e.g., changing weather conditions), parameter estimation is also considered. We compare the performance of the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalman filter for state estimation, parameter estimation, joint estimation and dual estimation. Furthermore, the performance is evaluated for different detector configurations. The main conclusions from the simulations are that (1) the performance of the extended Kalman filter and the unscented Kalman filter is comparable, (2) joint filtering performs significantly better than dual filtering, and (3) a larger number of detectors results in better state estimation, but has no significant influence on the parameter estimation error

Traffic state estimation on highway: A comprehensive survey

TL;DR: A survey of highway TSE methods is conducted, and the recent usage of detailed disaggregated mobile data for the purpose of TSE is summarized, showing two possibilities in order to solve this problem: improvement of theoretical models and the use of data-driven or streaming-data-driven approaches, which recent studies have begun to consider.

Real-Time Lagrangian Traffic State Estimator for Freeways

TL;DR: This paper proposes a new model-based state estimator based on the EKF technique, in which the discretized Lagrangian Lighthill-Whitham and Richards (LWR) model is used as the process equation, and in which observation models for both Eulerian andlagrangian sensor data are incorporated.

A new method for the nonlinear transformation of means and covariances in filters and estimators

TL;DR: A new approach for generalizing the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems is described, which yields a filter that is more accurate than an extendedKalman filter (EKF) and easier to implement than an EKF or a Gauss second-order filter.
