Title

Automatic Pedestrian Counting

Business Needs / Challenges

Pedestrian planning requires detailed pedestrian flow data, with such data commonly obtained through manual survey methods. However, methods such as manual pedestrian counting can be expensive and provide only limited data, as it might not be possible to collect data over an extensive area and period. The department is exploring appropriate and reliable automatic pedestrian counting technologies suitable for surveying streets, especially with high pedestrian flow. The technology shall be free from privacy issues.

Application Areas

Development
Infrastructure
Transport

Expected Outcomes

An alternative solution to replace manual pedestrian counting under an outdoor environment, especially with high pedestrian flow density, without privacy issues. The solution shall be able to count the number of pedestrians passing by a certain location on a street with a high degree of accuracy and log the pedestrian flow data for analytical purpose. The hardware should be able to mount on existing lampposts, can be easily installed and weatherproof.
