010 Smart Transport and Roads Sensor Project

Name Smart Transport and Roads Sensor Project
Short Description Develop an multi-sensor capable of being embedded in traffic lanterns capable of analysing traffic flows for traffic control applications.
What problem is
being solved?
In road loop detectors don’t supply sufficient information about traffic flows and cameras mounted above traffic light height are expensive to install and maintain. Collection of origin-destination information across a regional traffic network is very costly.
