NOVELTY - The method (300) involves capturing radiated energy by a detection device, where the radiated energy is radiated from traffic objects (302). Data associated with the radiated energy are generated in the detection device (304). The data associated with the radiated energy is transmitted using a communication device e.g. modem (306). Electricity is generated using a solar source for powering the detection device and the communication device (308). An image of the objects is captured by an image receiving device e.g. camera (310). The image is transmitted using the communication device (312).    USE - Method for detecting traffic objects e.g. vehicles such as motorcycles, automobiles, small lorries and semi-lorries, surfaces of a roadway (all claimed), and human beings, by a detection device i.e. traffic detector.    ADVANTAGE - The method allows generating electricity using the solar source for powering the detection device and the communication device, so that the device can be self powered by utilizing the solar power, thus reducing overall cost of the device. The method allows mounting the traffic detecting device to an existing light pole on or near the roadway, so that the detecting device can be quickly installed to an existing infrastructure, thus avoiding need to close the roadway during installation of the detecting device.
