This paper presents the outline and reports test results regarding the measurements of traffic flow by the "AR Sensor". The AR sensor consists of the AR camera and an image-processing unit. The AR camera consists of lens, the artificial retina LSI (AR chip), and microprocessor. The AR chip is CMOS Monochrome image sensor with 128x128-pixel which is developed by Mitsubishi Electronic Corporation. This chip has functions of both image processing and analog adjustment such as a frame rate, etc. Commercialization of the AR sensor seems possible because a definite outlook to resolve the occupancy rate problem is foreseen in this test. It was confirmed that the AR sensor has capability of equivalent to the supersonic wave sensor. (A*)
