Abstract:

Most probe vehicle data is generated using satellite navigation systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) or Galileo systems. However, because of their high cost and relatively high position uncertainty and low sampling rate, satellite positioning systems have a relatively low penetration rate among users. To address this issue, the authors introduce a new traffic monitoring concept based on inexpensive inertial measurement units in conjunction with a wireless sensor network deployed inside a city. After discussing the sensing technique, the authors present a preliminary implementation of this system using an open source robotic platform. Preliminary results show that this system can be used to generate traffic measurement data.
