Need to assess city traffic?
Visius will help bring your smart city to the next level
Task
For city councils and development centers, it is important to research the movement of people, cars, or cyclists. To develop and build the infrastructure, determine the places most attractive for people, and to analyze the overall style of city life. However, manual processing of such big amounts of data requires significant resources
Visius is up and running in a few minutes, processing data volumes faster than a human

Visius supports IP cameras that are already installed in the city on busy intersections.
And if there aren't any — just record a video using a traditional camera and upload the video to your account.

FAQ
Traffic count, or traffic flow measurement, is the process of obtaining data on the number of people passing by a certain location, e.g., a cafe or a point of sales, for a given period.
Analyzing pedestrian, car, or bicycle traffic helps improve the city infrastructure as part of a smart city initiative. The most accurate way to measure traffic is to take a video of the entrance area and count how many people have passed by in a given period (e.g., an hour or a day).

To assess pedestrian traffic, the video is recorded for 2—3 workdays. The analysis is usually conducted manually by a specialist who watches the video and gives the total "head count". Visius simplifies this process: it recognized people and counts them automatically.

It’s best to access IP cameras that are already installed. You can connect to most models that support external access via an RTSP link.
A longer way would be to use a dash cam or a portable camera with a resolution of at least 720p (HD). nstall it in a car looking at the entrance of the potential store/cafe or fix it on a tree or a lamppost.
It is important that the camera does not move during the process — and the people being recorded are moving. Recording on the move or while holding the camera in your hands will provide inaccurate results. We recommend to choose a filming angle where people are filmed at full height and no one person blocks the view of all other pedestrians.
