Background:

• Increasing global highway construction and vehicle usage necessitate advanced traffic rule violation (TRV) detection systems.
• Existing TRV detection methods often lack real-time capabilities or rely on static surveillance.
• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) require robust solutions for traffic safety.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a two-dimensional state method for accurate TRV identification and counting.
• To enhance highway safety within ITS and VANETs by addressing limitations in current TRV detection.

Main Methods:

• Development of a novel parallel ultrasonic sensor system mounted on a moving vehicle.
• Implementation of a two-dimensional state method analyzing spatial and temporal data from sensors.
• Real-world experimental validation on diverse highway segments across various driving speeds.

Main Results:

• The proposed parallel ultrasonic sensor system effectively identifies traffic rule violations in real-time.
• The two-dimensional state method demonstrated robust performance in detecting and counting highway vehicle violations.
• Experimental results confirmed an identification accuracy of approximately 90.97% for the developed system.

Conclusions:

• The novel parallel ultrasonic sensor system offers a viable and accurate solution for real-time TRV detection.
• The two-dimensional state method effectively utilizes sensor data for reliable violation identification.
