Low-Cost Camera Sensors and YOLO-Based Computer Vision for Scalable Multimodal Traffic Monitoring
Banafsheh Rekabdar
Sirisha Kothuri , Nathan McNeil
This project provides the first systematic, multi-site validation of low-cost community-deployable edge-AI camera sensors integrated with YOLO-based computer vision for pedestrian and vehicle counting in real-world transportation settings. Building on the team's ongoing PacTrans-funded work on automated detection, tracking, counting, and safety analysis of pedestrians and cyclists, this project extends that foundation in two important directions: expanding the YOLO-based pipeline to includ...
