Abstract
Technology based on sensors or cameras that is related to the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can help to alleviate road congestion problems by collecting and evaluating real time traffic data. In this paper, we present an approach to monitor traffic by collecting and processing video streaming information for further analysis in traffic management centers. Results showed a 94% rate of correct vehicle detections in a short period of time with a low rate of false detections.
