Developing a Portable Data Acquisition System to Study Road User Behavior

One major issue with the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data is that, unlike global positioning system (GPS) data, the point clouds do not have any unique identity. This means that even after detecting objects across various time frames, one cannot track them across various frames. While there are a few options available to track objects, the most appropriate process needs to be identified. The PIs on this project will identify the most efficient methods to detect and track objects. This will be one of the major outcomes of the project. Once software programs are available to detect and track objects, the portable data acquisition system (PDAQS) can be used to study the complex behavior of road users, which were not possible with the traditional data.
