Abstract:
This paper provides an analysis on the deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) on The University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) campus for vehicle detection and tracking. The need for such a network for this particular community will be to provide accurate monitoring information of vehicles coming in and out of the campus environment. This, in time, will help in showing the statistics analysis of vehicles per parking on campus and provide surveillance information essential for the security and well being of the university community. The deployment techniques of a WSN have significant impact on its operational performance. This paper, therefore, focuses on the deployment strategies that will make vehicle detection and tracking a realization on The UNN campus.
