Abstract(in English) A traffic monitoring system requires environmental resistances against the influence of the weather and the sunshine. A microwave radar is suitable for such outdoor uses because of the nature of the microwave. As one of the traffic monitoring applications using microwave radars, the vehicle classification methods based on the estimation of the height or length profiles of running vehicles had been proposed. However, these methods required the installation of radars on the vertical of the roadway. This condition was a problem of high installation costs. In this paper, we propose the vehicle classification method using a roadside microwave radar based on Deep Neural Networks(DNN) that do not require estimating the vehicle’s height or length profile directly. The proposed DNN model has a feature that integrates the internal outputs of the Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN) and the ones of the radar signal processing in learning. Our approach was compared with the previous study-based DNN model by using the experimental data about the three types of vehicle. Consequently, the proposed DNN model showed better performance in 17.68% of the accuracy difference than previous one and the efficacy against the vehicle classification problem in the case of using a roadside microwave radar.
