Area of Science:

Traffic Engineering
Localization Technologies
Road Safety Analysis

Background:

Traffic conflict techniques (TCT) are crucial for analyzing road safety and preventing collisions.
Traditional methods for measuring traffic parameters can be labor-intensive and prone to inaccuracies.
Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology offers high-precision localization capabilities with potential applications in traffic monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the accuracy of UWB tags for estimating time occupancy within a traffic conflict zone.
To compare the performance of UWB-based measurements against a video camera system.
To assess the feasibility of UWB technology for real-world TCT applications.

Main Methods:

Deployment of UWB tags within an 8 m × 8 m study area to measure time occupancy.
Comparison of UWB data with simultaneous measurements from a video camera system.
Calculation of mean absolute error (MAE) between UWB-derived occupancy time and ground truth.

Main Results:

UWB system demonstrated accurate occupancy time estimation with MAE of 0.43 s (two tags) and 0.06 s (one tag).
Double-sided, two-way communication enhanced the reliability of UWB measurements.
The study identified limitations in multi-tag tracking consistency, suggesting areas for future improvement.

Conclusions:

UWB technology is a viable tool for precise time occupancy estimation in TCT.
Further development is needed for robust multi-tag tracking to enable advanced applications like Post-Encroachment Time (PET) estimation.
UWB-based TCT holds significant promise for improving road safety and collision avoidance.
