Counting Street Traffic in Glasgow

The Glasgow CCTV Object Detection platform provides counts of street traffic and pedestrians recorded at 81 different locations across Glasgow. Our model, developed by the team at UBDC, uses object detection technology to record the number of people and vehicles passing by CCTV cameras.

Logging new data at regular intervals each day, this project aims to improve public understanding of mobility and traffic patterns across Glasgow.

This platform provides access to the project's latest data through an API and .csv file download so that individuals and researchers can use it to promote better understanding of our city. Read more in our docs →
