Abstract
Traffic monitoring is increasingly assisting transportation and
infrastructure planning in urban areas. Video sensors can capture detailed
information about the nature of moving traffic objects and estimate their
speed. VTT has developed a generic tool for traffic monitoring, that allows
interactive definition of traffic events, and stores position and speed
records in geocoded (GIS) form for later analysis. The tool is being used by
Helsinki City Planning Department for joint analysis of vehicle and pedestrian
behaviours near pedestrian crossings, as well as intersection monitoring.
