Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for detecting vehicles. The apparatus include a signal generation unit and a vehicle detection unit. The signal generation unit generates a magnetic signal indicating a magnetic field versus time using a magnetic sensor. The vehicle detection unit generates magnetic signal waveform information, including a level value of the magnetic field of the magnetic signal per unit time, using a predetermined time summary unit and a magnetic signal summary unit, and extracts vehicle detection information, indicating whether a vehicle is present, from the magnetic signal waveform information. |
