Smart city - Computer vision for smart cities

Crash reports cover the days someone was hurt. In a pilot, ConductVision can measure the other days on your camera system: who uses the street, how fast they move and where they nearly collide.

People walk across two marked crosswalks at a city intersection as a white sedan passes between them and a gray SUV and red car sit at the far crosswalk

ConductVision Traffic

ConductVision Traffic is our product for roads and streets. It counts people, bicycles and vehicles across lines your team draws. It flags possible conflicts between vehicles and people, and riders at stops who may use a mobility device, for your team to review. The video stays at your site.

Street safety

Seen from above, a dark gray car sits short of a wide white stop line while people walk across the crosswalk beyond it

Near miss analysis

Where road users nearly collide.

Close calls between vehicles, people and bicycles, flagged for your team to review.

Seen straight down, a four-way intersection has crosswalks on each leg, green bike lanes, turn arrows, and cars in the lanes and nearby lots

Intersection safety

Turns, crossings and queues, by approach.

Turning conflicts, driver yielding, queues and blocked crosswalks at one intersection or along a corridor.

About a dozen people walk across a marked red crosswalk while cars wait at the stop line on a downtown street with tall buildings

Pedestrian safety

Crossings, yielding and where people actually cross.

How people cross your streets and how drivers respond.

Bicycle safety

Riders, close passes and blocked bike lanes.

Where riders and vehicles meet, from blocked bike lanes to right hooks at intersections.

Work zone safety

Intrusions, people in the path of equipment and traffic through the zone.

Vehicles entering a closed lane, people in the path of moving equipment and how traffic moves through the zone.

Curbs, transit and public space

Curb management

Who uses the curb, when and for how long.

Trucks, vans, buses and cars at the curb, by block and by hour.

Seen from above, a large parking lot has long rows of parked cars separated by planted islands, with a street on the left

Smart parking

How full your lots and curb spaces are.

Spaces in use, entries and exits, and how long vehicles stay, with no sensors in the pavement.

Transit stops and stations

People waiting, boarding and crossing to reach the stop.

Counts and crowding at stops, stations and platforms on the camera system your agency already runs.

Your video and your residents

Your cameras

ConductVision works with the camera system you already run. We do not install cameras. A first look at your footage shows whether the camera views will work.

Your network

ConductVision runs on a computer at your site. Full recordings never leave your network, and short clips leave it only as your statement of work sets out.

People on your streets

Street pilots count and measure road users. They do not recognize faces or read license plates. Faces can be blurred, or people shown as simple figures, when your policy calls for it.

Privacy and public cameras

What happens to street video, and what ConductVision does not do with it.

Questions from cities

Does this replace our crash data?

No. Near misses add to your crash records. They do not replace them. A flagged near miss is a reason to look at a location. It is not a prediction of crashes.

Does it issue tickets?

No. ConductVision does not warn drivers or people crossing, control signals or issue tickets.

Does it work at night?

Night results depend on the camera and the lighting, so the first look includes night footage from each camera. The report states the hours it covers.

Our cameras show live video only. Can we start?

A first look needs recorded video. If your cameras do not record, your team would need to record a sample first.

Who runs it?

The scientists who build ConductVision connect it and run the pilot with your team.

Pilot - How a pilot starts

A paid pilot covers one intersection or one corridor. We look at footage you choose to share with us and agree with your team on what to watch for. A first look at your footage shows whether the camera views will work. Your team sets the criteria before any results come in. You decide whether to roll out, change the scope or stop.

You bring: Recorded video from the cameras at one intersection or corridor, and what you want to learn.
We set up: ConductVision for your camera views. A measure that is right at one camera may not be right at the next, so before results go out a ConductVision engineer measures a sample from each camera by hand to check them.
You get: Counts, measures and flagged clips, and a final report on whether the pilot met the criteria your team set.
