TLDR
It is shown that some spectral features extracted from the Fourier Transform of inductive signatures do not depend on the vehicle speed, which is used to propose a novel method for vehicle classification based on only one signature acquired from a sensor single-loop, in contrast to standard methods using two sensor loops.
Abstract
Inductive Loop Detectors (ILDs) are the most commonly used sensors in traffic management systems. This paper shows that some spectral features extracted from the Fourier Transform (FT) of inductive signatures do not depend on the vehicle speed. Such a property is used to propose a novel method for vehicle classification based on only one signature acquired from a sensor single-loop, in contrast to standard methods using two sensor loops. Our proposal will be evaluated by means of real inductive signatures captured with our hardware prototype.

The PeMS algorithms for accurate, real-time estimates of g-factors and speeds from single-loop detectors

TL;DR: This study suggests that real-time speed and travel time estimates derived from single-loop detector data assuming a common g-factor for all detectors in the district can be in error by 50 percent, and so they are of little value to travelers.
