This was an educational project that uses a standard IP camera, OpenCV and open source code written by Claude Pageau to capture traffic data.
A traffic event is counted if the estimated speed is over 15mph to reduce false positives from walkers and bicycles.
Speed is estimated by comparing changes in pixel movement in sequential video images.
Data is collected during normal traffic hours. Data is not collected during periods of rain or snow as false positives are created.
