India is a developing country and is highly heterogeneous consisting of different vehicles having distinct static and dynamic characteristics. Due to non-uniform speed of various vehicles, road planning becomes a challenging task as it becomes difficult to count vehicles that are moving on the road. There have been specific conventional methods that are taken into consideration while counting vehicles like manual counting using tally sheets, Inductive loop method, Pneumatic tubes, Passive infrared, etc. To minimize the probable human error and unnecessary effort, there emerges a need for introducing advancement in technology in this sector, i.e. intelligent transportation system (ITS). In this paper, various sensors and methods are discussed that can be used to augment the current situation of vehicle counting to enhance road planning in complex environments. Also, a comparison is made between the old methods and new methods of vehicle counting and suitable methods are proposed for Vehicle detection.
