\section{Overview of the Current State of Technology}  Traffic Congestion is a dire problem that the Philippines experiences, especially in Metro Manila. It is brought about by the migration of population, urban growth and infrastructural constraints \cite{Matthew_2014}. Unpredictable commute times,   environmental pollution and fuel waste are just some of the negative effects that traffic congestion mainly creates which results to losses in resources such as time and money.These remain to be a problem for developing cities and countries around the world due to poorly road network planning and traffic management (Jain, Sharma, Subramanian, 2012). \cite{Jain_2012}.  Presently, there are many different techniques in detecting traffic density such as RF-Id tags, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET), Infrared System, Bluetooth, Zigbe, Multi-Agent Systems, Cameras, GPS and the use of mobile signals including 2G, 3G and LBS Systems \cite{Matthew_2014}. However, with numerous sensors, telemetry and telematics devices and other on-line traffic and mobility data collection tools utilized for monitoring traffic \cite{Lopes_2010}, most of them are more usable in developed countries. According to a study of road traffic conducted in India \cite{Sen_2013}, developing countries and developed countries have roads with different characteristics such as high heterogeneity of vehicles and traffic roads without lanes or road markings. These roads are packed with the same heterogeneous vehicles altogether to utilize the available road space. This makes it impossible for traditional sensors to be efficiently useful without careful modification and correct sensor placement \cite{Sen_2013}.
