An Acceleration Denoising Method Based on an Adaptive Kalman Filter for Trajectory in Merging Zones

Vehicle trajectory data can reveal naturalistic driving behaviour trends. However, owing to measurement and processing errors, the trajectory data extracted from videos often contain obvious noise. In merging zones, vehicles tend to accelerate and decelerate frequently, leading to poor denoising per...

description Vehicle trajectory data can reveal naturalistic driving behaviour trends. However, owing to measurement and processing errors, the trajectory data extracted from videos often contain obvious noise. In merging zones, vehicles tend to accelerate and decelerate frequently, leading to poor denoising performance of the linear Kalman filter (KF). To address this issue, this study proposes a new denoising method based on the adaptive Kalman filter, which automatically switches between KF and Unscented KF to accommodate car-following and merging behaviours, respectively. A merging behaviour detection method was designed based on the PELT method and normalized innovation squared (NIS). The F1 score of 92.9% shows the accuracy of behaviour detection. According to our results, the proposed method minimizes the range of jerk compared with other methods, reducing it from −4927.78 to 4960.72 of raw data to −44.92 to 47.14, indicating a significant improvement in denoising and trajectory smoothing. The goal of this study is to achieve high-precision trajectory data under complex real traffic scenarios.
