Service: Traffic load - Machine vision for collecting information on traffic load

Responsible organisation: Public Transport and Traffic Management Transport Board in Tallinn (Local Government)

The Tallinn transport Dep. started developing a machine vision application in autumn 2018 in collaboration with Sifr OU. The main objective of this application is to identify the traffic load within Tallinn, i.e. how many cars drive in and out of the city in a day in order to make city transport planning related decisions based on such data (e.g. parking issues, road construction, etc.). Three cameras were selected on intersections in Tallinn to train the application to count the vehicles passing by the cameras. The training of the application was a crucial process in developing the solution since there was no ready-made solution available that suited the circumstances of Tallinn. The result is an application that uses machine vision to count buses, cars, lorries and motorcycles and in the future hopefully also pedestrians, cyclists and like with a 70% accuracy on the traffic load in a certain area when previously there no such information available at all.
