Abstract
The evolution in microelectronics and microarchitecture lead to the creation of cheap and reliable embedded magnetic sensors. Anisotropic Magnetoresistors (AMR), being able to measure one axis magnetic fields, have been employed in many applications so far. In this paper AMR sensor (HMC2003) manufactured by Honeywell Inc. was tested for its ability to detect the magnetic field of a vehicle. Two different sensor topologies were examined regarding their performance in vehicle detection and monitoring.
