Progress Meeting 2: Proof-of-Concept Models for Truck-Body Classification using Inductive Loop Signature Data
Sponsored by: California Air Resources Board Performed by: Institute of Transportation Studies University of California, Irvine
Outline
• Task Schedule • Truck-Body Type Classification Model
Data Collection and Data Processing Efforts Loop Signature Model Combined WIM and Loop Signature Model
• Hardware Integration 1060 Hardware Integration iSinc Hardware Integration iSinc and IST Signature Comparison
• Progress Summary
2
Progress by Task
• Phase 1 1.1 Develop body type classification model using
signature data (for VDS locations) 1.2 Develop body type classification model using
derived WIM and signature data (for WIM locations) 1.3 Investigate hardware interface configuration to
obtain Inductive Signature data at WIM station
• Phase 2 2.1 Data Collection at Deployed WIM station 2.2 Model Enhancement from data fusion with WIM
and signature data

WIM + Signature Classification: Modeling Enhancements
• Further refinement of body classes for heterogeneous truck types, i.e. tanks, enclosed vans.
• Development of alternative modeling approach (e.g. PNN), input feature sets (e.g. parsing methodology), and signature normalization techniques.
• Continued groundtruthing for underrepresented truck body types (e.g. agricultural vans, logging trucks).
• Inclusion of weight (empty v. non-empty) and commodity type information in classification for freight applications like payload factor estimation.

1060 Controller
• Successfully integrated with IST-222 inductive signature detector cards and field processing unit for data collection
iSinc Controller
• Performed trial data collection through Serial Bus Module
• Needs further investigation to parse binary data
Comparison of IST and iSinc Inductive Signatures
• Objective
Statistical testing on the signatures from the IST and iSinc detectors
If IST and iSinc signature are not statically different, classification model with IST signature will be applicable to iSinc signature
• Records
Yale (IST-IST) : 400 vehicle records
Westminster (IST-iSinc) : 97 vehicle records

Result
• Statistical test T-test of the mean of median error from the IST-
IST and IST-iSinc are equal
Result : cannot reject the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level
• Interpretation : Signatures from IST and iSinc are not statistically different.
• Conclusion : The classification model is applicable to iSinc signatures.
