INTRODUCTIONThe Traffic Pulse network is the foundation for all of Mobility Technologies applications. This network uses a process of data collection, data processing, and data distribution to generate the most unique traffic information in the industry. Digital Traffic Pulse collects data through a sensor network, processes and stores the data in a data center, and distributes that data through a wide range of applications.

Def :-A sensor networkconsists of spatially distributed autonomoussensorsto cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. They are now used in many industrial and civilian application areas, including industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, environment and habitat monitoring, home automation, and traffic control.

Sensor Network

In addition to one or more sensors, each node in a sensor network is typically equipped with aradiotransceiver or other wireless communications device, a smallmicrocontroller, and an energy source, usually abattery. The cost of sensor nodes is similarly variable, ranging from hundreds of dollars to a few pennies, depending on the size of the sensor network and the complexity required of individual
