Traffic Technology has released the Argos AI portable traffic analyser, which the company says provides mobile traffic data collection with artificial intelligence and computer vision.

The battery-powered unit offers up to 48 hours of continuous use, and uses roadside computer vision to provide real-time classification of 10 classes of vehicles, from bicycles to multi-axle HGVs with trailers.

The system can be rapidly deployed, with on-site data validation and full GDPR compliance built in.

In addition to vehicle classification, it is designed to be used at traffic hubs, where it records turning behaviour; roundabouts, for origin/destination traffic surveys; and multi-lane roads, for vehicle volume.

Detailed evaluation of data is available with the web-based communication platform myTrafficdata 2.0.

Richard Toomey, Traffic Technology MD, says: “With true edge technology, data is available instantly without the need to transmit files to costly server farms or overseas processing facilities.”

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
