Abstract
This paper proposes an algorithm for vehicle speed estimation based on the use of anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors. Speed estimation relies on matching vehicle magnetic signatures from wireless sensors. A scheme based on edit-distance is developed to automatically matching signatures for the vehicles. Experimental results are presented to show that the proposed speed estimation is viable.
