This typology of sensors is largely used for object/subject monitoring and detection, given the low power consumption and the availability of different low price solutions. On the other hand, the reading of these sensors is widely affected by atmospheric conditions and in general the sensed area is not very large. As for other sensors, also Passive InfraRed sensors may be used in road monitoring systems, in order to limit and prevent vehicle-wildlife collisions. The project aim is to evaluate the performance of a commercial PIR sensor (model PIR SMD MODULE), in order to assess its applicability to real monitoring systems. date: 2012 date_type: published institution: University of Trento department: ELEDIA Research Center@DISI thesis_type: masters referencetext: [1] F.
