Development of a Methodology of a Traffic Monitoring Using Video Recordings for Traffic Accident Analysis

Abstract

The doctoral thesis Development of a Methodology of a Traffic Monitoring Using Video Recordings for Traffic Accident introduces a complex method for automatic computational evaluation of a selected dynamic quantity used in a traffic accidents analysis praxis from video recording from traffic surveillance cameras. The procedure follows the selection of suitable input data in form of video recording and a robust detection and tracking SW implementation and fine-tuning for the particular use. A calibration method is developed and tailored to the use case in the thesis. After obtaining the data, a suitable data processing and smoothening methods are introduced and implemented. As a conclusion, a statistical processing of a non-sudden braking is provided which has a real use in the traffic accidents analysis praxis.
