Description
Summary:Traffic congestion has been a problem for a long time. It is known that traffic congestion would cause delays, high fuel consumption and high pollution index. In order to avoid high levels of road traffic congestion, a reliable and accurate detection system is needed. By using traffic parameters such as speed and density of vehicles the road, an application of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) could be utilised. The evaluation of the road traffic congestion detection system includes the presence of congestion and the level of congestion itself. This detection system will be implemented on a scaled-down prototype/modelling in order to test the effectiveness.
