Counting vehicles with computer vision
Vehicle counting is the process of detecting and logging the number of vehicles that enter a defined zone or cross a defined line. Vehicle counting can also include classification algorithms to distinguish and categorize different types of vehicles (truck, bus, bicycle, car). For more, see our Vehicle Search and Vehicle Recognition use case pages.
Automated vehicle counting using computer vision provides a scalable method of remotely conducting reliable traffic analysis in real-time. Popular applications include:
Commercial retail & car park management
Track the number of vehicles that enter or exit a parking facility and count the number of vehicles in a defined area to manage occupancy limits.
Smart Cities & associated initiatives
Track road usage over time to reduce policies that ease congestion, reduce emissions and improve traffic flow to improve commuter experience.
Transport companies, projects and authorities
Monitor usage volume of particular roadways, trends based on time of day, and networks in different regions to help make better infrastructure planning decisions.
