Capabilities - Vehicle Detection
Vehicle Detection identifies and classifies cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and bicycles across multiple lanes and camera angles. The system can estimate speed, detect wrong-way travel, monitor parking occupancy, and count traffic volume by vehicle class.

How it works - Vehicle Detection in three steps
How Vehicle Detection works with the cameras you already run.
- Connect Traffic Cameras. Use your cameras at intersections, highway overpasses or parking entrances. Each camera view is set up once so the system can estimate speed.
- AI Classifies Every Vehicle. The system identifies each vehicle's type and direction of travel and follows it through the scene.
- Generate Traffic Intelligence. Wrong-way travel, speeding and parking events are flagged for your team to review. Traffic counts and speeds are summarized on dashboards.
Features
What Vehicle Detection can do.
- Multi-Class Classification. Tells apart cars, SUVs, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, emergency vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles.
- Speed Estimation. Estimates each vehicle's speed from the camera view, without radar.
- Wrong-Way Detection. Flags vehicles traveling against the designated flow direction on one-way streets, highway ramps, or parking structures, for your team to review.
- Parking Occupancy Monitoring. Tracks individual parking spaces or lot zones, reporting availability percentages and historical utilization patterns.
- Lane-by-Lane Volume Counting. Counts vehicles per lane per time interval, classified by type.
- Incident Detection. Identifies stopped vehicles, sudden deceleration patterns, and debris on roadways, and flags them for your traffic team to review.
- Night and Adverse Weather Mode. Applies enhanced preprocessing for low-light and rain/fog conditions.
Use cases
Applications of Vehicle Detection across industries.
Intersection Traffic Studies
Transportation engineers need turning-movement counts at intersections. Vehicle Detection can provide 24/7 automated counts by vehicle class and direction.
- Smart City
- Transportation
Highway Speed Monitoring
Agencies monitor speed compliance on highways and work zones. Camera-based speed estimation can provide continuous data without installing in-road sensors.
- Transportation
- Government
Smart Parking Management
Parking operators often lose revenue from inaccurate availability data. Space monitoring can drive guidance signage and mobile app availability updates.
- Smart City
- Real Estate
- Retail
Loading Dock Management
Warehouses need to track truck arrivals, dwell times, and bay utilization. Vehicle Detection can log every dock event with timestamps and vehicle classification.
- Logistics
- Manufacturing
Campus and Gated Community Access
Gated communities and corporate campuses need to monitor vehicle flow without stopping traffic. Automated classification and counting can enable gateless access management.
- Corporate
- Real Estate
Construction Zone Safety
Wrong-way and speed violations in construction zones put workers at risk. Dangerous driving can be flagged for site supervisors to review.
- Construction
- Government
