Evaluation of a Wi-Fi Signal Based System for Freeway Traffic States Monitoring: An Exploratory Field Test

Abstract: Monitoring traffic states from the road is arousing increasing concern from traffic management authorities. To complete the picture of real-time traffic states, novel data sources have been introduced and studied in the transportation community for decades. This paper explores a supplementary and novel data source, Wi-Fi signal data, to extract traffic information through a well-designed system. An IoT (Internet of Things)-based Wi-Fi signal detector consisting of a solar power module, high capacity module, an… Show more

“…Wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth [37], ZigBee [38], and Wi-Fi [39,40,41] can be conducted and used for the presented prototype in the described architecture in this work. ZigBee (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.15.4 standard) [38] is arguably the most popular technology for creating wireless sensor networks, and it was included in some of the latest commercial [40] and academic home automation cases, including water pump control in a smart fish farm with efficient energy consumption [15,42,43], and several others [39,40,44]. The new Android smartphone application that uses the open-source Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) App Inventor 2 software to monitor voltage and current measurements in Reference [37] can also be conducted, developed, and used by the presented prototype in the described architecture.…”

“…Wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth [22], ZigBee [42], Wi-Fi [43,44], and 2G General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) [45] can be conducted and developed in the architecture in Figure 3. In this sense, the WIZNet W5100 hardwired TCP/IP embedded Ethernet shield mounted on the Arduino MEGA 2560 MCU, the core entity of the designed and implemented smart prototype shown in Figure 4 can be replaced with an ESP8266 ESP-01 system-on-a-chip (SoC) Wi-Fi microchip or an ESP8266 ESP-12E Wi-Fi SoC NodeMCU [46] where advanced AI well trained offline in cloud analytics can be autonomously and automatically deployed onsite on the NodeMCU as edge analytics via the over-the-air programming.…”
