Machine Learning Cameras

/by

Transport for NSW is installing a number of machine learning traffic counting and classifying cameras across the state.

The Machine Learning project was developed to understand if machine learning and artificial intelligence could be adapted to extract heavy vehicle information from roadside cameras. This new heavy vehicle traffic data will be used to improve Transport for NSW’s understanding of heavy vehicle and freight movement.
