Abstract

Non-motorized vehicle travel has gradually revived in China to form complex, mixed traffic flows in recent years that lead to traffic movement and safety problems. The characteristics of the mixed non-motorized vehicle speeds need to be accurately modeled to characterize this problem. Deep neural networks are used here for multi-target tracking in videos of the non-motorized vehicle lanes to measure the non-motorized vehicle speeds. A statistical analysis of the vehicle speeds is used to determine the number of components of the Gaussian mixture model for the speeds using information criteria with the maximum likelihood estimate of each parameter calculated using the expectation maximization algorithm. Then, the model parameters are related to the road operating conditions and statistical characteristics. This intelligent video recognition method accelerates data collection to obtain sufficient data and the component determination prior to other parameters improves the modeling efficiency. The fitting results show that the Gaussian mixture model more realistically describes the speed distribution of non-motorized vehicles than the single distribution model. The Gaussian mixture model results are divided into the various types of non-motorized vehicles when the vehicle flow is not obstructed and the parameters are related to the average speed, the standard deviation and the ratio of different vehicle types. The classifications according to flow states are consistent during peak periods with the mean speed of the faster component close to the free flow velocity of the vehicles.
