Estimation of the ‘from where to where’ traffic of roundabouts using state space theory methods
Abstract
This paper describes the different traffic counting methods, the estimation methods used during the development, and the international research and examples of estimating the turnaround rates. Based on real traffic counts, the different statespace theory estimation methods are calibrated and their accuracy is compared using performance indicators. Finally, an
examination of the accuracy of the most efficient estimation method is presented in different traffic situations in a validated simulation environment.
