Bicycle identification and cyclist notification at a traffic intersection includes determining a presence of a bicycle in a traffic detection zone and communicating an indicator that notifies the cyclist of both successful detection and that the presence has been communicated to the traffic system controller, so that a green light will be provided at the appropriate time for safe passage. Detectors at or near a roadway approach sense the presence or absence of a bicycle, and when a bicycle is detected, a signal communicated to the traffic signal controller for conversion to a suitable output signal that actuates notifications for cyclists.

Notification of bicycle detection for cyclists at a traffic intersection

A multi-object zonal traffic detection framework analyzes temporal and spatial information from one or more sensors in a classification engine that identifies and differentiates objects within a single identified traffic detection zone. The classification engine applies a whole scene analysis and an adaptive background zone detection model to classify cars, trucks, bicycles, pedestrians, incidents, and other objects within the single identified traffic detection zone and generates counts for each object type for traffic system management.
