A new value is reaching new heights in the InformationSociety, Road Safety. In this situation, strategic trafficmanagement is a key factor in intelligent transport systemsapplications (ITS), even though it also involves different sectors such as economic (oil dependency), environmental (pollution, noise. . . ), safety (both drivers and pedestrians) and health (breath problems, circulation. . . ). In urban areas, the trafficcontrol centre (TCC) gathers parameters and informationabout real time traffic which are used to implement trafficpolicies and legislation. This paper presents an intelligent system able to provide information in real-time about: detection (presence), flow rate, counting and vehicle classification. The classification has been made in five groups (5+1): powered two-wheeler, passenger car, van, truck and bus. The detection system used is a laser scanner sensor.
