Abstract
Magnetic sensors have been for many decades the industry standard for a variety of applications due to many unique advantages they possess compared to other sensor types. Recently, different types of magnetic sensors have been employed for vehicle detection and monitoring purposes. In this paper the performance of an anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensor for detecting the presence of small boats within small scale harbors has been evaluated, in order to assess the applicability of the specific sensor for port monitoring purposes.
