Active Cycleways – Active Transport Insights

Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor and capture pedestrian and key cycleway activity and usage across NSW

Lead: Transport for NSW  

Collaborator: 

  • Secure Agility   

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) in partnership with Secure Agility has funded a 24-month trial as part of their City Revitalisation Innovation Challenge.

What is the solution?

Transport for NSW, in partnership with Secure Agility is trialling the use of Artificial intelligence (AI) on CCTV cameras at 26 key cycleways and one bike rack location across NSW to monitor active transport activity. The AI detection will capture counts of Pedestrians, Cyclists, E-scooters, Micro freight, all other vehicle types, safety incidents and traffic counterflow.

Footage is processed by an AI application and subsequently converted into numerical data. Only de-identified numerical data will be captured to explore the capability and constraints of using AI to monitor active transport activity.
