Application of a vision-based traffic surveillance system for vehicle traffic control in a controlled area

This paper proposes a method for monitoring a controlled area using vision systems. In addition to entry and exit control, a method for traffic surveillance within the controlled area and vehicle identification is presented. All presented methods are based on images obtained from video cameras.1. INTRODUCTION
In transport, areas with a limited number of spaces—whether parking, maneuvering, or loading—are frequently used. A specific section of a road could also be treated as such a controlled area. Adding traffic surveillance to such a controlled area should improve throughput and ensure collision-free movement within it. Furthermore, the use of vision-based surveillance should reduce the costs of the entire undertaking. This paper presents methods enabling comprehensive surveillance of a controlled area using images from video cameras.
2. MAIN ELEMENTS OF VISION-BASED AREA SURVEILLANCE
CONTROLLED
The aforementioned controlled area surveillance system must meet specific criteria.
For a specific example, these may include:
Limiting the number of vehicles in the controlled area to a set number.
Speed limit.
Driving on designated paths (traffic lanes) for different types of vehicles. (…)
