Actual detectors of traffic information in Korea adopt the loop detector system. The evaluation of alternative detector of the above system such as camera or microwave detector has been limited to the situation for uninterrupted flow instead of interrupted one. However, recently the installation of camera-detectors tends to be rapidly increased in freeways. In the case of camera detector, it appears to satisfy the requirement of measurement accuracy of traffic variables such as occupancy, traffic amount and speed in the interval unit of 5 or 15 min of uninterrupted flow situation. This study is to understand the traffic information data collection level required in the sophistication of future Korean traffic control in focusing on city map and freeways and to analyze and evaluate the loop detector as alternative for camera detector.
