Traffic travel mode identification and classification are crucial for the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). At present, scholars have investigated the classification of motorized and nonmotorized traffic travel in various road environments; however, the classification of walking and bicycle modes in nonmotorized travel has been largely ignored. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate nonmotorized traffic travel and propose a new low-cost nonmotorized traffic travel mode classification system, known as the Wi-Fi classification (Wi-CL) system that uses Wi-Fi signal detectors and the refined characteristics of nonmotorized travel modes. The Wi-CL system includes four modules: data acquisition module, data processing module, feature extraction module, and mode classification module. In the data acquisition module, the proposed system detects the Wi-Fi signals of traffic participants in road environments. In addition, we propose a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) filtering algorithm for hybrid traffic networks that effectively addresses surrounding obstacles and environmental noise. In the feature extraction module, we extract relevant traffic features to construct a mode classification model. Finally, a recurrent neural network (RNN) framework based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm is successfully implemented in the mode classification module for traffic travel mode identification. To validate the effectiveness of the Wi-CL system, extensive experiments were conducted using field data collected by Wi-Fi detectors installed at the South China University of Technology (SCUT). The experimental results show that the proposed RSSI filtering algorithm achieves excellent signal filtering results in real road traffic environments. In addition, the constructed travel speed estimation algorithm outperforms other baseline models in four different scenarios (flat-peak walking, midday peak walking, flat-peak cycling, and midday peak cycling), achieving an overall classification accuracy of 97.92%. In summary, our Wi-CL system is a feasible approach for nonmotorized traffic travel mode classification.
