ABSTRACT
Driving the wrong way on motorways has been a nagging
traffic safety problem all over the world. In order to reduce wrong-way driving
incidents and crashes, roadside wrong-way warning systems applying advanced ITS (intelligent transportation systems)
technologies have been adopted and deployed for the first time at 24 rest areas
on motorways in Japan since 2008. The systems are used to detect wrong-way
vehicles and warn the drivers of their wrong-way driving at the off-ramps to
the rest areas. This paper describes an evaluation of the roadside wrong-way
warning systems with four different types of sensors from the viewpoint of
detection accuracy and effectiveness in preventing wrong-way driving. The
sensing technology includes microwave Doppler radar, ultrasonic sensor,
photoelectric sensor and video image processing technology.
KEYWORDS
Wrong-way driving, wrong-way crash, wrong-way warning system, safety, motorway.
