Abstract
A system for collecting traffic data includes at least one first node, at least one second node, and a central processing station. The first node includes a cellular communications module and a first networking communications module connected to a first processor. The second node includes a second networking communications module and a device detection module connected to a second processor. The at least one first node and the at least one second node form a network. The device detection module detects devices associated with traffic. The central processing station can be linked to the at least one first node via the cellular communications module. The at least one second node communicates information associated with the devices associated with traffic to the at least one first node. The at least one first node communicates the information associated with the devices associated with traffic to the cellular communications module.
