IoT Services

Abto Software was approached by a solution provider to assist in designing a bicycle tracking system and improve cyclist safety. The cooperation has resulted in the successful development of a demo solution, which allows monitoring bikers, non-bikers, speed, and even helmets.

 

Our team designed an AI-based cyclist detection program that:

  1. Tracks bikers, non-bikers, speed and cycling helmets
  2. Ensures high recognition and calculation accuracy 

We covered:

a. Dataset preparation

At the first stage, to gather traffic information, a camera was placed directly above the multi-lane bicycle track. The camera was capturing both bikers and no-bikers, as well as identifying whether they’re wearing helmets and at which speed they’re moving.

b. Algorithm training in three successive stages:

– Biker and non-biker detection 

– Helmet and haircut differentiation

– Speed recognition

Value delivered to the business

The initiative has proven the feasibility of further software development of the AI-supported tracking system. The client now has the opportunity to provide the product as a ready-made solution to leaders that specialize in improving public surveillance and safety.

The project provides for:

  • Higher competitiveness through selling a unique, ready-made solution
  • Public surveillance and safety through monitoring cyclist behavior
  • More interest in the cycling culture
  • Enhanced reputation and image of the client company by promoting healthy habits
