Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are developing to increase transportation efficiency and mitigate its negative impacts on society. Traffic flow monitoring, traffic guidance and traffic signal control are some of ITS applications relying on vehicle passage rate in the streets. There are already some conventional techniques for vehicle counting. In this work a novel method is proposed for vehicle passage and lane detection based on the relative acceleration between the vehicle and two anchor nodes which broadcast packets periodically using Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), the nominated medium for vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure communication. Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the performance of the proposed method is 95% or higher.
