Title

Vehicles Type Identification on Smart Lampposts

Business Needs / Challenges

There are public concerns on using cameras as it may touch on personal privacy.  Therefore technologies alternative to cameras will be explored which are privacy-friendly to provide ‘Vehicles Type Identification’.

Application Areas

City Management
Transport

Expected Outcomes

-	Collect number of vehicles by types for annual traffic census and transport planning purposes.
-	Automatically classify and count the passing vehicles by types in selected area of interest.
-	Area of interest (at least 2 traffic lanes) can be covered, including hard shoulder, marginal strip and in the middle of two traffic lanes.
-	Design for high speed free flow environments and capable of handling not less than 2,000 vehicles per hour in each traffic lane.
-	Summary of vehicle classification:
(01)	Motor Cycle 電單⾞
(02)	Private Car 私家⾞
(03)	Taxi 的⼠
(04)	Private Light Bus 私家⼩型巴⼠
(05)	Public Light Bus 公共⼩型巴⼠
(06)	Light Goods Vehicle 輕型貨⾞(非客貨⾞類)
(07)	Medium / Heavy Goods Vehicle 中型 / 重型貨⾞
(08)	Non-franchised Bus 非專營巴⼠
(09)	Franchised Bus 專營巴⼠(S.D.)單層
(10)	Franchised Bus 專營巴⼠(D.D.)雙層
-	Alternative technologies other than cameras which are privacy-friendly (i.e. no excessive data collection principle under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the practice of collecting minimum information for the purpose of data collection) should be considered only.
