TLDR
Algorithms were developed for recognizing the length patterns of vehicles passing over detectors and using these for precisely computing traffic density in several sections of the Lincoln Tunnel.Abstract:
Discussed are methods underlying the real-time monitoring and controlling system of a critical traffic link.
Algorithms were developed for recognizing the length patterns of vehicles passing over detectors and using these for precisely computing traffic density in several sections of the Lincoln Tunnel. Vehicle control was adjusted by the system to optimize tunnel throughput.read more

On-Line Estimation of Traffic Densities from Time-Series of Flow and Speed Data
Denos C. Gazis,Charles H. Knapp +1 more
TL;DR: A method is discussed for estimating the number of vehicles on a section of a roadway from speed and flow measurements at the entrance and exit points of the section, and emphasis is placed on economy in instrumentation and data processing.

Surveillance and Control of Tunnel Traffic by an On-Line Digital Computer
Denos C. Gazis,Robert S. Foote +1 more
TL;DR: An experimental surveillance and control system was in operation for one lane of the Lincoln Tunnel in New York City, during most of the year 1967, showing that knowledge of the exact number of vehicles in the three sections of the tunnel permits much more timely action than has been possible in the past.
