Abstract
A method for assigning a number of lanes and a direction of travel on a path includes receiving location data including a plurality of location points, projecting the plurality of location points on to an aggregation axis perpendicular to a centerline of the vehicle path, grouping the plurality of location points as projected onto the aggregation axis into one or more clusters, and determining the number of vehicle lanes of the vehicle path based on a count of the one or more clusters.
Claims20
A method for assigning a number of vehicle lanes to a vehicle path, the method comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, a plurality of location points including locations of a plurality of vehicles;
- projecting, via the processor, the plurality of location points on to an aggregation axis;
- grouping, by the processor, the plurality of location points as projected onto the aggregation axis into one or more clusters;
- and
- determining, by the processor, the number of vehicle lanes based on a count of the one or more clusters.
An apparatus for assigning a number of vehicle lanes to a vehicle path, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, are operable to:
- receive a plurality of location points including locations of a plurality of vehicles;
- project the plurality of location points on to an aggregation axis
- group the plurality of location points as projected onto the aggregation axis into one or more clusters;
- and
- determine the number of vehicle lanes of the vehicle path based on a count of the one or more clusters.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed are operable to:
- receive a plurality of location points representing a plurality of mobile devices traversing a path in a travel direction;
- project the plurality of location points on to an aggregation axis of the path;
- group the plurality of location points travel into one or more clusters based on the location points as projected onto the aggregation axis;
- and
- determine a number of traffic lanes and a direction of the path based on a count of the one or more clusters and the travel direction.
