• Abstract:
  Problem: ; Most Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications require distributed ; acquisition of various traffic metrics such as traffic speed, volume, and density. ; The existing measurement technologies, such as inductive loops, infrared, ; microwave-Doppler/radar and video image detection, have the limitation of ; either having a high cost and need power supply, or lack of real-time ; communications between measurement points and the decision-making centers. ; Objective: ; The objective of this study was to develop a proof of concept for wireless and ; energy self-sufficient traffic sensors that significantly increase data granularity ; for ITS applications.
