This paper addresses critical challenges in the deployment and effectiveness of traditional Roadside Units (RSUs) in traffic monitoring systems and proposes a novel, cost-effective approach using Android-based smart RSUs. Leveraging mobile phone architecture, YOLOv8 , the SAHI algorithm and chat gpt-4o, the system provides real-time traffic data collection, vehicle detection, and congestion analysis. This paper evaluates the performance of different cost tiers of mobile devices, discusses traditional traffic monitoring challenges, and identifies key gaps in current RSU technologies. The proposed system offers enhanced scalability, flexibility, and reduced cost, making it an ideal solution for urban traffic management.
