Active Transport Cycleways CCTV AI trial commences at Sydney

Reviewed

Project overview

Transport for NSW (TfNSW) has partnered with Secure Agility to trial the use of Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing technology to count the bike and walking patronage along cycleways.

The trial will help TfNSW to:

  1. Measure the effectiveness of current cycleways; and
  2. Inform investment decisions for future cycleways.

TfNSW will utilise footage from Meraki cameras located at the intersections of:

  •  Hyde Park and Oxford St and
  •  Paddington Gates.

Footage will be processed by an AI application and subsequently converted into numerical data. Only de-identified data will be captured in order to explore the capability and constraints of using AI technologies.

The project is live and will be active until 20 August 2022.
