摘要：Detecting traffic flow by in-road inductive loop is the most common methods, but inductive loop is physically large, it is hard to install and maintain, also the classification rate is low. The inductive loops cannot communicate with each other, so they cannot share traffic data with each other. The wireless sensor network has these features: real-time, fault tolerance, scalability and coordination. Applying wireless sensor network into traffic area for traffic flow detection is easier to install, and provide real-time traffic flow for coordinate traffic control, also it can improve the classification rate. A lot of researchers applied the wireless sensor network for traffic flow detection, but no one referred to the coordinate traffic flow detection method. In this paper, we provided a coordinate traffic flow detection framework. Based on this framework, we set up a simple traffic flow detection platform by wireless sensor nodes produced by cross box company to verify this method. We selected four periods, for each period, we got a more than 90% classification rate.
