The present invention concerns a vehicle tracking device for tracking one or more vehicles at a geographic location of a ransport network within which the one or more vehicles are able to move, the vehicle tracking device comprising: one or more infra-red (IR) sensors having a field of view and being configured to detect IR radiation being emitted from or reflected by the one or more vehicles at the geographic location within the field of view; a receiver configured to receive unique identification data which uniquely identifies each of the one or more vehicles and position data which indicates an initial position of each of the one or more vehicles when the one or more vehicles enter the field of view at the geographic location; a processor configured to determine current kinematic data of the one or more vehicles in at least two dimensions based upon the IR radiation detected by the one or more IR sensors, the received unique identification data and the received position data; and a transmitter configured to transmit the determined current kinematic data of a particular vehicle of the one or more vehicles to a kinematic data receiver spaced apart from the transmitter. The transmitter of a first vehicle tracking device is configured to transmit the current kinematic data determined at the first vehicle tracking device and unique identification data of the one or more vehicles to a second vehicle tracking device of the plurality of tracking devices and the receiver of the first vehicle tracking device is configured to receive current kinematic data determined at a third vehicle tracking device of the plurality of vehicle tracking devices and unique identification data of the one or more vehicles from a third vehicle tracking device.
