Development of remote vehicle monitoring system for surveillance applications

This paper focuses on the development of a portable road side vehicle monitoring system for vehicle classification, and speed measurement. Vehicle classification is done based on the vehicle length and height of the vehicle. Vehicle length is estimated from the product of occupancy and estimated speed. The average vertical vehicle height is estimated using ultrasonic sensors. To calculate the speed of the vehicle with an accuracy of 95%. The developed sensor system is compact, portable, wireless, and in-expensive. Data are presented from a large number of vehicles and different type of vehicles that are passed in the roadside. The types of vehicle and speed of the particular vehicle are displayed in the display unit.
