1. A method, comprising:
- receiving at a processor, a signal including information associated with a sensed vehicle on a roadway;
identifying via the processor, data within the received signal indicative of one or more characteristics of the sensed vehicle; and
determining via the processor, a type of the sensed vehicle based on at least the one or more characteristics of the sensed vehicle.

Abstract
An traffic detection system (TDS) can receive an information signal associated with a sensed vehicle. The vehicle may be sensed on a roadway by one or more sensors. The system can identify data within the received signal indicative of characteristics of the vehicle, and determine a classification of the vehicle based on at least the characteristics of the vehicle. Additionally or alternatively, the system may determine a traffic pattern associated with the roadway based on at least the determination of the classification of the vehicle.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a communications interface operable to receive one or more signals including information associated with one or more sensed vehicles on one or more roadways or sections of roadways; and a processor operable to; identify data within the one or more signals indicative of one or more characteristics of the one or more sensed vehicles; determine one or more classifications of the one or more sensed vehicles based on at least the one or more characteristics of the one or more sensed vehicles; determine based on at least the determination of the one or more classifications of the one or more sensed vehicles, an amount of vehicles with one or more classifications passing through the one or more roadways or sections of roadways in real time or for a given time period; and determine a route between at least two different locations based on at least the determination of the amount of vehicles with the one or more classifications passing through the one or more roadways or sections of roadways in real time or for a given time period. - View Dependent Claims (19)
