A smart city is a responsible city where every citizen contributes to the process of improvement ofcommunication, transportation and security, continuously on a real time basis.The biggest problem what the world is facingtoday is traffic jams. Due to the increasing number of vehicles they are not only wasting fuel but also have effectedenvironment badly.Take an example of delhi according to WHO every year there are 2.2 million deaths only because of thebad quality of air and the gases released by vehicles play an important role in it. Now in order to avoid this problem we canusewireless sensor network (WSN). WSNs are very trendy due to their faster transfer of information, easy installation, lessmaintenance, compactness and for being less expensive compared to other network options. There are many methods tomove smooth traffic like video data analysis, infrared sensors, inductive loop detection, magnetic detectors, accelerationdetectors etc which can utilize to solve the problem of traffic congestion. Traffic surveillance systems provide data forbuilding an efficient Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Flexibility, ease in installation and maintenance, low cost andhigh accuracy of WSN gives more accurate vehicle detection and classification. ITS are widely researched to improve thetraffic situation. In ITS, vehicle detection system plays a significant role. At present, vehicle detection is often conducted byinductive loops, which are very expensive and inconvenient to install and maintain. Video camera is another frequently useddetector, but it needs high computing power. In order to solve these problems, this paper focuses on the development of aroadside magnetic sensor system for vehicle detection. The device is installed at the side of the road and measures traffic inthe adjacent lane (the closest lane to the sensor node). The data are transmitted by the IEEE 802.15.4 communicationprotocol(IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate wireless personal area network (LRWPANs).). These wireless magnet sensors are compact and cost-effective. The devices used in this have high accuracy andare viable in urban environment.
