Engineer explains camera hardware and how video is converted to traffic counts
Summary
Colliers' engineer described small head cameras, ground-mounted data boxes and Miovision's automated processing that converts pixelated video into vehicle turning movements and pedestrian/bicycle counts for a traffic impact study.
Rich D'Andrea, an engineer with Colliers Engineering and Design, outlined the equipment Colliers plans to use at seven locations and described how the firm handles recorded video. D'Andrea said the installations typically use a compact camera head with a ground-mounted box strapped to a sign or pole and that the cameras provide a 360-degree view for counting movements and non-motorized users.
On how the firm converts recorded images into count data, D'Andrea explained the firm sends video to Miovision's proprietary software for breakdown into turning-movement volumes and pedestrian/bicycle counts; he emphasized that the output is numeric data used for traffic-study analysis. "The cameras do collect video. Um but other than what gets transmitted to us, uh it doesn't get shared anywhere," D'Andrea said, describing Colliers' handling of raw footage.
