In In re Pharmatrak, Inc. Privacy Litigation, website users brought suit claiming that major pharmaceutical corporations and a web monitoring company violated three federal statutes protecting electronic communications and data by collecting web traffic data and personal information about website users. On August 13,2002, the District Court of Massachusetts dismissed these allegations, holding that the defendants were parties to the communications and thus exempted under the statutory language.The court also found that plaintiffs had not suffered an amount of damages required to sustain private action.

Video traffic data were collected in 24 combinations of four different camera position parameters. A machine vision processor was used to detect vehicle speeds and volumes from the videotapes. The machine vision results were then compared with the actual vehicle volumes and speeds to give the percentage errors in each case. The results of the study provide a procedure with which to establish camera position parameters with specific reference points to help machine vision users select suitable camera positions and develop appropriate measurement error expectations. The camera position parameters that were most likely to produce the least overall volume and speed errors, for the specific site and field setup with the parameter ranges used in this study, were the low height of approximately 7.6 m (25 ft), with an upstream orientation (traffic moving toward the camera), a 50-mm (midangle) focal length, and a 15° vertical angle.

This paper uses empirical traffic data collected from three locations in Europe and the US to reveal a three-phase fundamental diagram with two phases located in the uncongested regime. Model-based clustering, hypothesis testing and regression analyses are applied to the speed–flow–occupancy relationship represented in the three-dimensional space to rigorously validate the three phases and identify their gaps. The finding is consistent across the aforementioned different geographical locations. Accordingly, we propose a three-phase macroscopic traffic flow model and a characterization of solutions to the Riemann problems. This work identifies critical structures in the fundamental diagram that are typically ignored in first- and higher-order models and could significantly impact travel time estimation on highways.
