VEHICLE DETECTION SYSTEMS: A REVIEW

Abstract

In intelligent transportation system (ITS) identification of moving vehicles at nighttime is a necessary process.
The foremost step in monitoring the speedy vehicles on the highway is the detection of vehicle. Vehicle identification is
utilized to recognize the vehicles in any video or picture record. The vehicle detection method is used to calculate different
traffic parameters such as speed of vehicle, flow rate of traffic, required travelling time, volume, density, congestion levels.
These vehicle detection methods can be applied for classification, tracking and traffic monitoring at nighttime. By using
vehicle detection traffic safety can be improved. Various nighttime vehicle detection methods have been proposed by
researchers. Review of different techniques for detection of vehicle using image processing is the main objective of this paper
and also to provide brief study of these techniques
