Summary: The objective of SmartCountPlus is to develop automated counting technology of non-motorized traffic (pedestrian and bicycle traffic) for outdoor mobility application. A biologically-inspired stereo vision sensor system was developed, comprising a sensor and computer vision algorithms, to automatically provide long-term continuous counts of non-motorised traffic. This intelligent surveillance system provides a basis for novel statistical models which will can developed at the intersection between the fields of traffic telematics and urban planning.
Results: will be published soon
