The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period (2021–2030). Vehicle counting is a prime component of traffic analytics which can be generally used on highway and urban roads under different weather and traffic conditions. A vehicle counting system is permanently installed using pre-existing or a newly installed surveillance camera.

Vehicle counting systems have various operations like detecting and classifying multiple vehicle types, tracking and counting multiple detected objects, and aggregating data with privacy and robustness. The main objectives of the vehicle counting system are completely automated traffic scrutiny, detection of anomalies and risky events, insights on detection in peak hours, bottlenecks, and comparison of different locations, along with quantification and track changes over time.

Segmental Analysis
