Sensor Fusion on an Embedded System for Traffic Data Analysis - ETRADA-V System

This paper describes an embedded system for traffic flow analysis based on fused traffic information coming from two different sensors. This can be used as test bed for traffic monitoring. Data is acquired by two sensor systems, Embedded Traffic Data Sensor (TDS) and a CCTV camera. Video data acquired by the CCTV camera is transmitted to an embedded hardware platform, where image processing software runs in order to detect and track objects with the final goal of event detection and event prediction. The system is tested in a real scenario. Experimental results are presented considering the image processing analysis, i.e. object detection and object tracking, and statistical data inferred from previous analysis.
