The innovative feature of this study is first to develop a methodology for designing advanced traffic surveillance systems based on microscopic traffic simulations. The developed methodology makes it possible ultimately to obtain algorithm structures and associated parameter values. The methodology consists of two main simulation experiments. The first experiment includes a parametric evaluation based on Monte Carlo simulation to identify the required performance of the surveillance system. The second experiment involves performing a microscopic traffic simulation with actual surveillance algorithms and synthetic algorithm inputs. Paramics capable of adding various external modeling routines realized by advanced programming interfaces was used for both simulation experiments. As an application of the proposed methodology, an inductive signature–based anonymous vehicle tracking system was designed via origin–destination flow estimation problem. The outcomes of this study can serve as a logical and necessary precursor to field implementation of a variety of traffic surveillance systems.
