A Simple and Effective Method for Traffic Flow Density Detection

Abstract:

There has been a lot of research on traffic flow density detection in recent years. In this paper, we propose a simple and practical method for traffic flow density detection through using the multiple pairs of infrared photoelectric sensors and STC15F2K60S2 as the main controller. This method can be used for the multiple cars two-way or multi-way side by side traffic flow density detection. The circuit is simple, accurate and efficient. The proposed method is economical and practical. Thus it can promote the progress of urban traffic management.
