Counting Traffic for the Community - Telraam.
Counting Traffic with Telraam - stats after 2 days.
I installed a traffic counter, to help measure traffic flows in my community.
It films the street, recognises traffic, type of movement, direction and speed.
Its telemetry data is collected for decision making purposes, and is available to the public.
When I received the device, there was an extensive info session. The operation of the device was shown, and data explained.
One topic was the ability of the device to distinguish between normal traffic (cars) and heavy vehicles (lorries).
The first days, the software can't make the decision. It catalogs every vehicle as a car.
After a week or more, the Telraam should have received enough data to start separating the two. That has now happened.
Since yesterday, I get the 2 buckets.
According to the device, the ratio is approximately 1 lorry , 5 cars.
Let's compare last Monday vs yesterday. I have complete data for both dates.
March 28: 3353 vehicles
April 4: 2871 cars + 559 Lorries = 3430 vehicles.
The mix turns out to be 84% cars, 16% heavy traffic.
