7. Traffic sign recognition as
a source of ITS-data?

8. Traffic sign recognition as
a source of ITS-data?
Research questions: recognition
What type of information can be
captured?
How reliable is traffic sign detection
and classification in real-life
conditions?
How can infrastructure be optimized
for detection for ITS-apps and
automated vehicles?
How can the traffic sign database be
updated?
