Abstract: In order to obtain accurate real-time traffic information parameters, the use of wireless sensor network technology and GPRS technology as an intelligent traffic-aware front-end and means of communication builds traffic information collection network and provides a more convenient solution for traffic information collection. Sensor nodes are designed for the traffic information detection and vehicle monitoring algorithm and the speed measurement algorithm are proposed. Experimental results show that the vehicle monitoring algorithm and the speed measurement algorithm can be implemented on the sensor nodes with limited capacity and get high accurate real-time traffic parameters, such as traffic flow, speed and so on. Traffic information collection network can meet the needs of large-scale network deployment and also can be used in intelligent traffic system.
