A Novel Vehicle Detection Method Based on the Fusion of Radio Received Signal Strength and Geomagnetism

A geomagnetic signal blind zone exists between the front and rear axle of high-chassis vehicle such as trucks and buses, which leads to multiple-detection problem in detecting those vehicles running at low speed on roads or error-detection problem in the case of the stopping position of the vehicle...
