How vehicles and pedestrians are classified?
Classification of vehicles according to GPR, Euro-6, and other vehicle classifications in traffic measurements.
Vehicles classification
To meet the market and customer expectations, our AITracker software classifies vehicles according to both Polish and international categories. The type of vehicle classification can be selected from the menu for each measuring point. You can also change the classification after measuring the entire traffic.
AITracker supports the following vehicle and pedestrian classifications:
UK COBA7
USA FHWA13
DE.Strassenverkherzalungen - classification from Germany general traffic measurements "strassenverkehr zahlungen"
Euro-6 (pl.euro-6) - european classification of 6 main vehlice categories.
8+1 (pl.8+1) - classification in accordance with automatic counting stations
Bicycles-Pedestrians - classification from the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure regulation from December 2022.
General Traffic Measurement (pl.gpr) - classification compliant with Polish GPR2020 requirements.
Light-Heavy (pl.lekkieciezkie) - classification defined in accordance with Polish GDDKiA requirements for light and heavy vehlices.
UK COBA7 classification categories.
What categories of vehicles are defined by the polish GPR classification?
The GPR classification defines the following 7 categories of vehicles plus 1 for bicycles for general traffic measurement:
a. Bicycles
b. Motorcycles
c. Passenger cars and minibuses, including those with trailers
d. Delivery vans, including those with trailers
e. Heavy goods vehicles without trailers
f. Heavy goods vehicles with trailers or semi-trailers
g. Buses
h. Agricultural tractors, etc.
What new categories do the 2022 guidelines introduce?
The new guidelines from the Ministry of Infrastructure in 2022 expand the GPR classification with additional categories. Category A is divided into subcategories:
a1. Bicycles
a2. Personal Transport Devices, e.g., Segways
a3. Electric Scooters
Category I is also divided into subcategories:
i1. Pedestrians
i2. Pedestrians with special needs, e.g., individuals in wheelchairs or parents pushing strollers
i3. Pedestrians with Supporting Devices, such as skateboards or rollerblades
a1. Bicycles
a2. Segways
a3. Electric scooters
i1. Pedestrians
i2. Pedestrians with special needs
i3. Skateboards
These are the new categories introduced by the Ministry of Infrastructure's guidelines for traffic measurements in 2022.
To meet the Euro-6 requirements, AITracker recognises passenger/delivery vehicles with trailers.
Which vehicle categories are defined by the Euro-6 classification?
The Euro-6 classification defines the following categories of vehicles:
b. Motorcycles
cd. Passenger and commercial vehicles
c2. Passenger and commercial vehicles with trailers
e. Trucks
f. Trucks with trailers or semitrailers
g. Buses
We recognise a separate category of buses with or without windows to meet both GPR and SCPR requirements.
Which vehicle categories are defined by the 8+1 classification?
The 8+1 classification (mainly used for central traffic measurement stations) defines the following categories of vehicles. It's worth noting that delivery vans with windows in the cargo area (similar to GPR) are often classified as passenger vehicles in this category. This is due to the recognition of these vehicles by inductive loops in measurement stations.
b. Motorcycles
c1. Passenger vehicles
c2. Passenger and commercial vehicles with trailers
d. Commercial vehicles
e. Trucks
f1. Trucks with trailers
f2. Trucks with semitrailers
g. Buses
h. Other atypical vehicles
What categories of vehicles are defined by the simplified classification?
The simplified classification divides vehicles into light and heavy categories. Based on the 8+1 categories, we can define two classes of vehicles in the simplified classification.
Light vehicles: the sum of b+c1+c2+d+h
Heavy vehicles: the sum of e+f1+f2+g
What additional categories does AITracker recognise?
AITracker recognizes two additional categories.
The first one is for trains and trams. This category is useful for measurements at railway crossings and urban measurements, where a tram could be mistaken for a bus.
The second one is for horse-drawn vehicles and carriages. This category is useful for measurements in tourist areas, where a carriage could be mistaken for another vehicle by AI.
