A vehicle detection method is developed based on three-axis anisotropic magneto resistive (AMR) sensors along travel lane markings. The method integrates multiple algorithms and uses different geomagnetic waveforms which are disturbed by vehicles passing a single AMR sensor. This method comprehensively analyses X-, Y-, and Z-axis information and applies a double-window algorithm to extract a single vehicle waveform. The vehicle mixed algorithm (VMA) is developed to differentiate vehicles driving by the AMR sensor simultaneously and determine vehicle flow rates. In addition, the vehicle motion-state discrimination algorithm (VMSDA) is developed to distinguish the vehicle operating status (i.e. driving on the left lane, the lane line, or the right lane). The field experimental tests verified the effectiveness of the both algorithms. Results indicate that the average accuracy rates of VMA and VMSDA can, respectively, be up to 98.0 and 96.4%.
