Abstract EN
The paper proposes a method, which utilizes mobile devices (smartphones) and Bluetooth beacons, to detect passing vehicles and recognize their classes.
The traffic monitoring tasks are performed by analyzing strength of radio signal received by mobile devices from beacons that are placed on opposite sides of a road.
This approach is suitable for crowd sourcing applications aimed at reducing travel time, congestion, and emissions.
Advantages of the introduced method were demonstrated during experimental evaluation in real-traffic conditions.
Results of the experimental evaluation confirm that the proposed solution is effective in detecting three classes of vehicles (personal cars, semitrucks, and trucks).
Extensive experiments were conducted to test different classification approaches and data aggregation methods.
In comparison with state-of-the-art RSSI-based vehicle detection methods, higher accuracy was achieved by introducing a dedicated ensemble of random forest classifiers with majority voting.
