The age of Big Data is here and many industries have already started
embracing it. The transportation industry stands much to gain from
large-scale data analysis due to the complexity and pervasiveness of
transportation in daily life, which promises smarter roads and a better
understanding of our transportation needs and environment. But this
inertia is also one of the greatest challenges to big data adoption
initiatives. Transitionary technologies may, however, provide the answer
to kick-start this migration today. This paper presents, in detail, a
practical framework for implementation of an automated, high-resolution,
video-based traffic-analysis system, particularly geared towards traffic
flow modelling, behavioural studies, and road safety analysis. This
system collects large amounts of microscopic traffic flow data from
ordinary video cameras and provides the tools for studying basic traffic
flow measures as well as more advanced, pro-active safety measures. This
paper demonstrates the process step-by-step illustrated with examples
and applies it to a case study of a large set of roundabout data. In
addition to providing a rich set of behavioural data, the analysis
suggests a relationship between flow ratio and safety, between lane
arrangement and safety, and is inconclusive about the relationship
between approach distance and safety.
