In 2020, I encountered the Polish General Traffic Measurement for the first time and asked one fundamental question.

😲 "Why hasn't anyone automated this yet?"

Historically, traffic measurements were conducted by observers (initially roadworkers and bridge supervisors, among others). There were many attempts to automate traffic measurements (rubber hoses, photocells, etc.), but they were characterized by errors (such as missing lightweight vehicles). 

For many years, general traffic measurement in Poland relied on observers
people who stood by the road for many hours with a paper sheet in hand, marking each categorized vehicle!

n the GPR2020, one method reigned supreme, based on the use of cameras and human labor. And that method is...

Traffic was recorded 24/7 by a camera onto an SD card. After removing the station, the footage was transferred and distributed to observers. This method had advantages, for example:

• Verifiability. The client could receive video recordings and verify them with the results.

• Observers didn't have to go out into the field and face weather conditions.

• Working from home with the video, they could rewind it and count more accurately.

It was better, but it wasn't perfect. This working model still had its drawbacks:

• Maintaining a large team of observers (especially during GPR).

• Human errors (such as confusing relations) because fatigue and the hours of watching videos affected the quality!

•  Poor recognition of categories! People often confused difficult categories (e.g., delivery vans with windows).

• Lack of timeliness! Observers often submitted results at the last moment.

The first step was to teach Artificial Intelligence to recognize vehicle categories from GPR measurements. Several months of work yielded satisfactory results! We started with 8 GPR classes, expanded to 5 more for SCPR measurements. Currently, AI recognizes 22 classes in line with the extended GPR classification.

December 2020
First success! The AITracker system version that counts two-way road cross-sections with an average accuracy of 97%. We have our proprietary object tracking algorithm - VRT! Green light for a startup!

May 2021

AISP officially starts its business activities. Commercialization of the solution. The first version of AITrackerGui, a configuration tool for measurements, is created.

August 2021

We introduce the service of measuring vehicle speed over a section from video footage.

👉 The first video speed measurement conducted in the town of Lubecko - the results were published with the consent of the county authorities in Lubliniec.

👉 Video demonstrating the service

November 2021
For the first time in history, we count intersections and small roundabouts with an accuracy of up to 85%. We conduct tests and recommend to our clients the installation of cameras at a height of 4-5 meters to improve the quality of results.

👉 Video demonstrating the service

January 2022

We expand our operations to international markets, thanks to business efforts and research conducted by Marcin Brzezina.

April 2022

We introduce a new service, ALPR, which stands for Automatic License Plate Recognition.

👉 Video demonstrating the service

👉 First ALPR measurement in the town of Lubecko  -  results were published with the consent of the county office in Lubliniec.

September 2022

We adapted our license plate recognition service for parking occupancy measurements. The camera is placed inside a moving vehicle, recording a wide-angle view of the road, and recognizing all parked vehicles and their license plates.

December 2022

For customers, AITracker-Gui version 1.6 is introduced. An expanded interface and capabilities allow for:

• Built-in traffic charts  by relation, category, and cross-section.

• Reporting and reclassification of results

• Erratum, which allows for manual correction of results.

March 2023

In accordance with the new guidelines from the Ministry of Infrastructure, we are expanding the vehicle and pedestrian categories to include a2.scooters, a3.electric cars, and i2.pedestrians with disabilities, i3.unprotected road users.

June 2023

Collaborating on on cord measurements we have created a built-in tool for automatically merging the results of license plate recognition from several traffic measurements. In the "Traffic Designer," you can load each cord measurement and then create the results transit sheet.

July 2023

Our VRT algorithm for counting vehicles and people has been improved to achieve even higher accuracy, reaching 93% for intersections and roundabouts.

September 2023

Version 1.7 of AITracker is introduced to the market with a new, simple interface and access to the AISP cloud. From now on, customers can fully automate measurements by sending them to servers available 24/7.
