Abstract:
This paper addresses the heightened risk of rear-end collisions associated with insufficient vehicle spacing during high-speed driving. In response, traffic authorities have introduced an electronic police system equipped with cameras to identify vehicles failing to maintain a safe following distance. Despite the system's technological advancements, China currently lacks specialized measurement and testing equipment for its calibration and maintenance. This study proposes a novel laser-based device, integrating a laser rangefinder and a speedometer, to accurately determine the distance between vehicles and their speed. The data, including distance, speed, and time, are displayed on an LED screen installed in the test vehicle. This information is captured by the electronic police system to assess discrepancies between the LED display and the system's measurements. The device aims to offer robust evidence for law enforcement and encourage safer driving practices, thereby enhancing road safety.

Abstract:
Radar speedometers, crucial in vehicular speed measurement, encounter challenges in maintaining accuracy over extended periods. This study introduces a self-calibrating radar speed measurement system employing a convolutional neural network (CNN) to enhance data accuracy and reliability. We present an economical neural network-based speed measurement system that utilizes digital image processing and YOLO v7 object detection neural network for target vehicle extraction. Additionally, a dedicated CNN for speed calculation is designed and trained using a custom dataset. The network's parameters are optimized through data ablation experiments. Experimental validation confirms the system's capability to measure vehicle speed with high accuracy and stability. The developed CNN for speed calculation effectively identifies potential radar errors and excludes anomalous data, thus facilitating the radar's automatic calibration. This feature ensures long-term precision of the speed measurement equipment, significantly improving the reliability and sustainability of speed measurement operations.

Abstract:
Tunnels, as vital components of transportation infrastructure, not only enhance traffic efficiency but also pose significant challenges in terms of frequent traffic accidents. This study delves into the peculiarities of the tunnel traffic environment to understand the high incidence of accidents, particularly in the context of high-speed rear-end collisions. Addressing the limitations of Doppler radar speedometers in tunnels, we introduce a speed measurement system based on dual infrared laser technology, specifically designed to overcome the difficulties of speed measurement in such environments. This system, featuring a dual infrared laser setup, has demonstrated excellent performance on open roads and superior capabilities within tunnel settings. Field tests and comparisons with conventional speed measurement methods have validated the effectiveness of the dual infrared laser speedometer in tunnels. However, enhancements in monitoring efficiency, particularly under high traffic conditions, are still necessary. Overall, this research presents a novel technological approach to tunnel traffic monitoring, offering significant innovations for improving traffic safety and efficiency. Future efforts should aim at further increasing monitoring efficiency to accommodate more complex and dense traffic scenarios, thereby advancing the comprehensive progress of tunnel traffic management systems.

Abstract:
The absence of national metrological verification regulations by the State Administration for Market Regulation presents a significant challenge in assessing the accuracy of interval velocity measurement systems. A pivotal aspect of this challenge is the precise measurement of interval distances, essential for validating interval speed measurement systems for motor vehicles. This study leverages Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology combined with oblique photogrammetry to achieve high-precision data collection and analysis of road information. Utilizing the Dijkstra algorithm, we calculated the shortest driving distances within intervals. Our research underscores the integration of modern data processing tools to innovate and enhance precision in road modeling and measurement. The findings are expected to substantially improve the accuracy and fairness of speeding monitoring, offering robust support for police traffic enforcement and advancing road safety and traffic order.
