Research project: Wireless vehicle detection for traffic control
How would you feel about your every move being tracked electronically? Most people say: “No thanks!” But what if the data were anonymous and still useful? The University of Southampton have been working with Siemens plc. on developing mathematical algorithms to fuse data from in-car wireless, Bluetooth and smartphones with the existing traffic data collection infrastructure.Simulations show that better data can lead to smoother control of the traffic and less time waiting at red lights.
