AI-Powered Traffic Data Collection

Collect Detailed Traffic Data and Information in Real-Time

To keep up with growing populations and changing traffic patterns, cities need faster, more accurate data. AI-powered devices like the Omnisight Fusion Sensor make that possible—identifying bottlenecks, tracking flow, and flagging issues as they happen.

Discover how AI-driven traffic data collection supports your traffic management system and helps you act on what’s happening now—not weeks later.

How AI Traffic Data Collection Works

Modern traffic management is getting a major upgrade with AI and smart sensors. Instead of relying on manual counts or delayed reports, these systems track what’s happening on the road in real time, analyzing traffic as it moves.

Here’s how it works:

  • Instant detection. Real-time data processing starts with advanced sensors like AI-enhanced cameras and radar. They operate around the clock, accurately identifying vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and other objects, even in poor weather.


  • Precise data analytics. AI-enabled sensors interpret what they see in real time, detecting crashes, recognizing unusual behavior, counting vehicles at intersections, and categorizing them by size, type, or class.

  • Transforming data into insights. After processing data, AI-powered sensors can create human-readable reports and notifications. For example, city planners and traffic control authorities can receive recommendations to reduce traffic congestion in the long term.

Applications of AI-Powered Traffic Data Collection

Using AI to obtain live traffic data isn’t only about obtaining more numbers and details on traffic information. AI transforms raw data into actionable traffic congestion solutions.

Here are real-world examples of how AI-powered traffic data collection supports smart city traffic solutions and harm reduction strategies:

Improved and more proactive road safety
AI systems can recognize risky behavior and dangerous situations, from vehicles running red lights to highway pile-ups. They can also identify incident patterns, helping cities improve road safety by determining how these problems occur and offering suggestions on how to fix them.
Accurate traffic studies
 Universities, city planners, and transportation departments can use AI-processed data to study travel patterns, intersection safety, traffic signal effectiveness, and road user counting. They can clarify whether specific streets, highways, or intersections meet safety and traffic flow objectives.
Instant congestion alerts
AI sensors are essential to any intelligent transportation system. They constantly monitor vehicle speeds, types, directions, and overall flow. If an incident or a traffic jam occurs, the system can alert the proper authorities to address it. They can also support V2X applications, sending notifications or redirection notices to connected or autonomous vehicles to limit further harm.

How the Omnisight Fusion Sensor Collects and Processes Data

The Omnisight Fusion Sensor is a powerful tool for city- and county-level intersection management systems. It integrates multiple sensing technologies into one unit, delivering a wide range of capabilities, including:

  • Multiple sensors in one. Each Fusion Sensor device captures video and radar footage with AI-enabled, high-definition (HD) video and HD3D radar. This combination allows a single device to detect, count, and classify objects of all sizes, from pedestrians to large trucks, including their speed and direction.


  • Processing at the edge. Omnisight’s TrueEdge technology is embedded in each Fusion Sensor system, allowing it to process sensor information directly from the device. This eliminates the need to transmit traffic data to a remote server, which can cause delays and latency.

  • High-frequency collection. The Fusion Sensor captures and processes data up to 20 times per second. It can react quickly to traffic conditions for incident response while generating dense and comprehensive data overviews for studies and long-term projects.

  • Multiple transmission methods. Connect each device via widely used standards, either through wired Ethernet or wirelessly through Bluetooth, LTE, or Wi-Fi, delivering data instantly. They make it easy to use the Fusion Sensor with your existing traffic management solution
