3. INTRODUCTION
TRAFFIC DATA COLLECTION IS BASIC REQUIREMENT FOR THE
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING. TRAFFIC DATA FORMS AN INTEGRAL
PART OF NATIONAL ECONOMICS AND SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS
ESSENTIAL DRAWING UP A NATIONAL TRANSPORT POLICY FOR
MOVEMENT OF PASSENGERS AND GOODS BY BOTH GOVERNMENT
AND PRIVATE SECTORS. THE EXISTING METHODS ARE COSTLIER AND
REQUIRES MORE MAINTENANCE. TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM WE
HAVE DEVELOPED A MODEL CALLED SMART TRAFFIC COUNTER
