Method and system for a traffic management network

A system for collecting traffic data, comprising:

• at least one stationary coordinator device comprising:
• cellular communications circuitry connected to a first processor;
• and
• first networking communications circuitry connected to the first processor;
• a plurality of stationary traffic data collection devices positioned along at least a portion of a road, wherein each stationary traffic data collection device comprises:
• second networking communications circuitry connected to a second processor, wherein the at least one stationary coordinator device and the stationary traffic data collection device form a network via the first networking communications circuitry and the second networking communications circuitry;
• device detection circuitry connected to the second processor configured to detect device identifiers of devices contained within vehicles traveling on the at least the portion of the road;
• and
• wherein the second processor is configured to control transmission of the detected device identifiers to one of the at least one stationary coordinator device via the second networking communications circuitry;
• and
• a central processing station linked to the at least one stationary coordinator device via the cellular communications circuitry, wherein the central processing station receives a device identifier of a device from two or more stationary traffic data collection devices via one or more of the at least one stationary coordinator device, wherein the central processing station comprises:
• a third processor configured to:
• calculate a speed of the device on the road, a directionality of the device on the road, and a travel time of the device on the road based upon the received device identifiers from the two or more stationary traffic data collection devices and a predetermined distance between the two or more stationary traffic data collection devices.
