What is AITracker?

AITracker is a cutting-edge software designed to revolutionize traffic analysis by automatically recognizing and counting various vehicle and pedestrian categories directly from video recordings. Developed by AISP, this powerful tool dramatically simplifies the complex process of traffic measurement, offering road designers, transportation engineers, and urban planners a faster, more accurate, and cost-effective alternative to traditional manual counting methods. By leveraging advanced AI and cloud computing, AITracker aims to cut traffic analysis time by up to 70%, allowing professionals to focus on design and strategic planning rather than tedious data collection.

This innovative solution processes video footage in the cloud, delivering results up to 5x faster than manual methods. It provides comprehensive data, including classification in accordance with GDDKiA standards, cartograms, daily traffic profiles, and ready-made reports. AITracker ensures high accuracy, with a measurement error as low as 3%, and supports the recognition of 22 different object classes, including various vehicle types, pedestrians, cyclists, and even trains and trams. The platform is designed for ease of use, security, and scalability, utilizing Google Cloud Platform services to ensure data integrity and availability.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Reporting: Generates ready-made reports, including GDDKiA compliant CSV and XML files, intersection spreadsheets with pictograms, car-by-car speed and ANPR data, daily traffic profiles, and cartograms.
• Flexible Data Analysis: Allows users to re-generate reports with different time intervals (5, 15, 60 minutes), change vehicle classifications, redefine measurement cross-sections, and filter results for specific vehicle types or road sections.
• Verifiable Results: Enables users to view individual counted vehicles and jump directly to their moment of passage in the video, facilitating detailed analysis and verification.
• Intersection & Roundabout Analysis: Measures all traffic relations on roundabouts and counts traffic at intersections, including pedestrian flow.
• All-Weather Performance: Operates effectively regardless of day or weather conditions.
• Free Trial: Offers 24 hours of free video processing for new customers to test the platform's capabilities.

How to Use AITracker

Getting started with AITracker is a straightforward three-step process:

1. Send: First, configure your video directories within the AITracker program. Once configured, upload these video files to the secure AISP cloud. The system is designed to handle large volumes of data efficiently.
2. Processing: Upon upload, Google's scalable cloud infrastructure and AISP's specialized system will process your video data. You will receive an email notification as soon as the processing is complete. This step leverages the power of cloud computing to ensure fast and reliable analysis.
3. Download: Once processed, your results will be available online for up to 14 days. AITracker prioritizes user privacy and does not store the original video files after processing. You can then download your comprehensive reports and analyze the data as needed.

Use Cases

• Urban Planning & Development: City planners can use AITracker to analyze traffic flow, pedestrian movement, and cyclist patterns in urban areas to inform infrastructure development, optimize public transport routes, and design safer streets.
• Road Infrastructure Design: Transportation engineers can utilize the detailed traffic counts and classification data to design new roads, optimize existing intersections, and assess the impact of proposed developments on traffic capacity.
• Traffic Safety Audits: Safety auditors can employ AITracker to identify high-risk areas, analyze vehicle speeds, and understand traffic behavior patterns to implement targeted safety improvements.
• Environmental Impact Assessments: By accurately measuring vehicle types and volumes, AITracker can assist in assessing the environmental impact of traffic, such as emissions and noise pollution, for development projects.
• Academic Research: Researchers in transportation and urban studies can leverage AITracker's accurate and efficient data collection capabilities for various research projects and studies on traffic dynamics.

FAQ

Q1: What types of vehicles and objects can AITracker recognize? A1: AITracker recognizes 22 object classes, including bicycles, scooters, cars, vans, trucks (with trailers), buses, trains, trams, and pedestrians (including those with special needs or using mobility aids), in accordance with current traffic measurement regulations.

Q2: How accurate is AITracker? A2: AITracker achieves a high measurement accuracy of 97%. This accuracy is calculated by comparing the system's counting results against a manually counted test set of examples and AISP's own videos.

Q3: What are the costs associated with using AITracker? A3: AITracker operates on a pay-per-use model based on the number of video hours uploaded for processing. New customers receive 24 hours of free processing. Billing is typically done after a usage limit is reached or after three months, whichever comes first. A detailed price list can be requested from AISP.

Q4: How long are the results available online? A4: Processed results are available online for up to 14 days after the processing is completed. AISP emphasizes privacy and does not store the original video files post-processing.

Q5: Can I re-analyze or re-report the data after initial processing? A5: Yes, one of AITracker's key benefits is the ability to 'count once, report many.' You can generate new reports, change time intervals, modify vehicle classifications, or redefine measurement cross-sections without additional video uploads or costs.
