Turning movement counting
Do you want to know the traffic flow at intersections and traffic circles? The Swarm Perception Platform provides the solution to capture the number of vehicles traveling from an origin zone (origin) to a destination zone (destination), broken down by vehicle type (class).
What data can be generated?
For this use case, our software provides you with all the necessary data for source-destination traffic analyses - the number of vehicles from one zone to another, including classification according to the standards TLS (technical delivery conditions for route stations) issued by the German Highway Research Institute (BASt).
What needs to be considered for a successful analysis?
Camera setup
In the table below you will find detailed information on the requirements, settings and positioning of the camera.
Setting | Recommended |
---|---|
Pixels Per Meter is a unit of measurement used to define the amount of potential image detail a camera provides at a given distance. | >30 PPM for object classes car, truck >60 PPM for object classes person, bicycle, motorbike Using the camera parameters defined below ensures that the minimum required PPM value is achieved. Tip: Use the lens calculator from Axis or a generic lens calculator. |
Video resolution | 1280 × 720 Pixel |
Video log/Codec | RTSP/H264 |
Focal length | 2.8 mm - 12 mm |
Camera mounting - distance to object center | Object classes car, truck 5-30 m (2.8 mm focal length) 35-100 m (12 mm focal length) Object classes person, bicycle, scooter 3-12 m (2.8 mm focal length) 25-50 m (12 mm focal length) |
Camera mounting - mounting height | Up to 10 m Note: Mounting higher can help to minimize obstruction by large objects. |
Camera mounting - vertical angle to the object | <50 ° Note: The correct vertical angle to the object should be achieved by setting the correct distance to the vehicle and the optimum mounting height. |
0 ° - 360 ° |
Specifications for the environment
Object speed | <50 km/h |
Day/Night/Lighting | During the day/well lit/night vision |
Indoor/outdoor use | Outdoor |
