Less Can Be More: Locating Fewer Sensors for Monitoring Traffic
Background
Real-time traffic information, such as traffic flow, vehicle speed, vehicle classification, lane occupancy and so on, is important for traffic and vehicle control systems. Monitoring traffic flows on a transportation network is an essential topic in the field of traffic management and control. With the rapid advances of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), a variety of sensors (e.g., inductive loop, ultrasonic, microwave, infrared detectors, and cameras) have been widely placed to fulfill this purpose.
