Road traffic counter system

This system includes a traffic counter device based on magnetic sensors, a set of equipment under and on the side of the road (sensor loops and protective covers, kiosks and internal equipment), the central server and the main server of the organization, in such a way that the current statistics are measured. It will be sent by the device to the central server through the GPRS/GSM communication platform and after performing the initial statistical processing, it will be sent to the main servers of the transport organization through the Internet. Each traffic counter device has the ability to count, measure speed and recognize the class of vehicles passing through it, record and send information through the mobile network link. High reliability and the ability to work in a wide range of humidity and temperature, along with the technology required for accurate measurement and management of the wireless communication link, are among the complexities of this device. In addition, the device must have the ability to report, diagnose and fix bugs in order to provide easy support without the need for the continuous presence of the support team.

Usually, in busy roads such as freeways, instead of using magnetic sensors, camera-based traffic detection methods are used. In this method, the road traffic information is measured through the instant image processing of the camera by a powerful processor and sent to the central server for further processing over the mobile network.
