Vehicle Detection and Traffic Estimation with Sensors Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems

The paper reviews the vehicle detection methods using the intrusive and non-intrusive sensors. The objective of literature review is to summarize the sensors and technologies used in vehicle detection and traffic estimation. Integrating these sensors will give vital information by communicating with the monitoring station related to the presence of the vehicle on the road. Sensors and communicating technologies have a widespread application in intelligent transportation systems. The modern devices and technologies are discussed that determine the vehicle count, classification, location, speed, traffic volume, density, traffic estimation. Sensors fusion can further integrate information from different sources and provides more accuracy.
