Engineering Tools and Methods of Estimation of Traffic Capacity Using Mobile Video Monitoring

The article considers development of a technology of road service quality assessment with the help of automated engineering tools of non-contact monitoring. The purpose of this technology is automation of comprehensive assessment of highways, provision of uniform objective accounting of traffic characteristics and road infrastructure. Recommendations on application of a mobile monitoring technology for creation of a client-server model of highways are given in the article.The authors propose an approach to assess road service quality, which is aimed at improving of highway performance data accounting systems. Key engineering tools of video monitoring of engineering data on road service quality have been studied and are practically applied in production by specialists of the Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI) laboratory “Geotrans”.
