Abstract :
This paper describes the accurate and detailed estimation of traffic conditions around our vehicle on road by the incomplete laser radar signals. The conventional laser radar system monitors only one vehicle that runs just in front of the our vehicle. Careful observation of the laser radar signals includes more information than that required. This research aims at developing a new traffic condition monitoring system that monitors 8 to 10 vehicles that run around our vehicle by fully using the signals from the radar
