| Summary: | Accurate and transparent vehicle speed data are crucial for enforcing speed limits and other important applications. However, attaining the required levels of accuracy and transparency remains a challenge that needs to be addressed. The potential for further improvement is brought by technological advancements. To address this, it is necessary to understand the current developments in speed detection methods, technologies used in speed detection systems, and challenges of existing systems. This work reviews vehicle speed detection methods and provides a guideline for selecting an appropriate method. This work also reviews technologies for implementing smart systems and proposes an integrated approach for enhancing intelligence, interconnection, and transparency. Not only this, but this work also evaluates existing vehicle speed detection systems and highlights the need for further research. Furthermore, this work proposes a conceptual framework that integrates the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, and blockchain technologies to enhance vehicle speed detection systems, particularly for developing countries. The Internet of Things facilitates data collection and transmission, ensuring system interconnectivity, while Artificial Intelligence is used for data pre-processing in cloud computing to improve system intelligence and scalability. Meanwhile, blockchain guarantees data security and transparency. A proof-of-concept demonstrator was implemented to validate the proposed conceptual framework. Evaluation results demonstrate an auspicious performance regarding end-to-end data delivery and transmission latency. This work provides both theoretical and practical insights regarding smart and transparent vehicle speed detection systems. |
