Improving the Accuracy of Traffic Data Collection Using Sensors

SMATS Traffic Solutions is excited to announce collaboration with Carleton University to enhance our sensors detection accuracy. Through this partnership with Dr. Karim Ismail’s research group, we are working to improve the positional accuracy of the detected devices by our Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sensors. We are exploring the use of more than one sensor, clusters and various positioning in this project. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to then improve the accuracy of the traffic data such as travel time, one of the most important measures used for the evaluation of traffic system performance. It could also support various new applications and products. With this project, government organizations and private companies can benefit from the technology as it will further reduce the congestion, delay, fuel consumption and air pollution.
