Collecting and analysing traffic data through drone vision

Project overview

This project investigated the potential benefit of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with Computer Vision software in the development of future Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). In particular, a drone was used to collect traffic count and speed data at sites in Milton Keynes and ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and the concept of the virtual induction loop was developed.
