APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for generating traffic information, comprising:
- a first information collection unit for collecting first sensed data, including first reference sampled data related to detection of information about a vehicle and a plurality of pieces of first surrounding sampled data obtained before and after the first reference sampled data, from a first sensor unit that samples variations in geomagnetism at a first point of a traffic lane at predetermined intervals;
a second information collection unit for collecting second sensed data, including second reference sampled data related to detection of information about the vehicle and a plurality of pieces of second surrounding sampled data obtained before and after the second reference sampled data, from a second sensor unit that samples variations in geomagnetism at a second point of the traffic lane at predetermined intervals;
a comparison and analysis unit for determining similarity between the first sensed data and the second sensed data by comparing them with each other, extracting a first time at which the vehicle passed the first sensor unit from the first sensed data, and extracting a second time at which the vehicle passed the second sensor unit, corresponding to the first time, from the second sensed data; and
a computation unit for calculating the vehicle'"'"'s average speed using information about the first time and the second time.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for generating traffic information. The apparatus includes a first information collection unit, a second information collection unit, a comparison and analysis unit, and a computation unit. The first information collection unit collects first sensed data, including first reference sampled data and a plurality of pieces of first surrounding sampled data from a first sensor unit. The second information collection unit collects second sensed data, including second reference sampled data and a plurality of pieces of second surrounding sampled data from a second sensor unit. The comparison and analysis unit determines similarity between the first sensed data and the second sensed data, extracts a first time from the first sensed data, and extracts a second time from the second sensed data. The computation unit calculates the vehicle'"'"'s average speed.
