Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of measuring the speed of vehicles using a single camera. A method is proposed for transforming the camera space coordinates to world coordinates taking as reference the size of a vehicles number plate. Implementation using a megapixel camera is proposed and the measuring characteristics of the method in this case are discussed. The proposed method poses modest computational requirements and is suitable for incorporating into designs of sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks incorporated into ITS for traffic data collection.
