• Abstract: Detecting and characterising vehicles is one of the purposes of embedded systems used in intelligent environments. An analysis of a vehicle characteristics can reveal inappropriate or dangerous behaviour. This detection makes it possible to sanction or notify emergency services to take early and practical actions. Vehicle detection and characterisation systems employ complex sensors such as video cameras, especially in urban environments. These sensors provide high precision and performance, although the price and computational requirements are proportional to their accuracy. These sensors offer high accuracy, but the price and computational requirements are directly proportional to their performance. This article introduces a system based on modular devices that is economical and has a low computational cost. These devices use ultrasonic sensors to detect the speed and length of vehicles. The measurement accuracy is improved through the collaboration of the device modules. The experiments were performed using multiple modules oriented to different angles. This module is coupled with another specifically designed to detect distance using previous modules speed and length data. The collaboration between different modules reduces the speed relative error ranges from 1 to 5, depending on the angle configuration used in the modules.

  This paper introduces a low-cost method, namely SenseMag, to recognize the vehicular type using a pair of non-invasive magnetic sensors deployed on the straight road section. SenseMag filters out noises and segments received magnetic signals by the exact time points that the vehicle arrives or departs from every sensor node. Our field experiment results validate that SenseMag is with at least $90%$ vehicle type classification accuracy and less than 5% vehicle length classification error.
