Transport regulation requires collection of road traffic data of major roads. Also computerized transport models require road traffic data for tackling congestion, improving safety and reducing pollution. Road traffic delays in Europe and USA is increasing at rate of 10-20 %, also to reduce carbon emission levels by 130 g/Km European governments are putting more emphasis on advanced traffic management systems which require richer traffic data. The need is for automatic traffic count tools which can collect data at lower cost and which is easy to setup and is preferably non-invasive. Transport engineers and planners are looking at new technologies and tools for automatic collection of Road Traffic Data. It is an emerging industry and the existing tools are limited by the technology that is available. We have developed novel algorithm at University of Manchester which can produce richer data than existing tools, it is easy to setup hence location-adaptable. In this project we plan to develop a basic prototype of a product to automate traffic counting. It will implement and extend the algorithm already developed and demonstrate real-world performance of the product to users and investors.

交通法规要求收集主要道路的道路交通数据。此外，计算机化的交通模型需要道路交通数据来解决拥堵问题，提高安全性和减少污染。欧洲和美国的道路交通延误正以10- 20%的速度增加，同时也为了将碳排放水平降低130 g/Km，欧洲政府更加重视需要更丰富交通数据的先进交通管理系统。需要能够以较低成本收集数据并且易于设置并且优选地是非侵入性的自动交通计数工具。交通工程师和规划者正在寻找新的技术和工具来自动收集道路交通数据。这是一个新兴的行业，现有的工具受到现有技术的限制。我们在曼彻斯特大学开发了一种新的算法，它可以产生比现有工具更丰富的数据，易于设置，因此位置自适应。在这个项目中，我们计划开发一个产品的基本原型，以自动化交通计数。它将实现和扩展已经开发的算法，并向用户和投资者展示产品的真实性能。
