The Challenge

North Somerset Council required a solution for monitoring traffic on both shared and segregated paths, as well as minor rural roads with low volumes of motorised traffic. The ability to collect classified data for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, was crucial for their analysis and decision-making processes.

"On shared or segregated paths, accuracy exceeded 98% and when deployed on minor rural roads, with low volumes of motorised traffic, we were able to accurately collect classified data for all users"
