Summary:
Monitoring of road traffic has been studied for many years. This is because of paramount importance of safety, economy, administration, trade and a lot of another issues. One of the road traffic analysis methods is the online identification ? so-called Weight-In-Motion (WIM). Classical application of this method for calculation of selected parameters of cars-in-motion, does not give very interesting results for road traffic flow. We propose to use the recurrence plots method (RP) and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) tool support which permit deeper insight into the properties of the flow. For the analysis we consider measured time series ? electric responses of system to moving vehicles stream. We find several characteristic features of the road traffic and also compare them with properties of selected features found in web and phone intensity traffic.
