Abstract

The SPECIALIST algorithm can resolve jam waves on freeways using roadside technology: detector loops and speed limit gantries. In this paper we extend the algorithm, enabling the integration with cooperative system technologies and other road side detectors, such as in-car detection and actuation, and video-based monitoring (VBM). Integrating these cooperative elements can provide faster and more accurate jam detection, which leads to a better performance of the SPECIALIST algorithm.
