Smart Temporary Surveys
AI-powered Multimodal Transport Surveys: Deployed Fast, Delivered Faster.
Smart Temporary Surveys are an innovative AI-powered short-term survey solution offering high quality, multimodal traffic data faster than ever before, helping transport teams to plan, monitor and evaluate schemes and maximise their success.
Combining VivaCity’s market leading AI computer vision sensors with Tracsis’ expertise of delivering end-to-end transport data solutions, this temporary survey allows for easy install and rapid access to the richest variety of datasets and modal classification available in the market, all from a single device.
These datasets are a powerful tool to understand user behaviour and trends for active travel and road safety projects, uncovering actionable insights and supporting your Net Zero and Vision Zero goals.

Multimodal Data on Demand
As cloud connected devices, Smart Temporary Surveys will deliver data faster than existing tools. Data will be available as soon as the survey is finished, so you can take action without delay.
Smart Temporary Surveys are designed to deliver high quality, multimodal data processed by advanced AI using machine learning algorithms. This means that the system is constantly improving its detection and classification capabilities, offering a leading 97% accuracy rate independently verified.
Battery powered, with the capability of undertaking surveys from a few days up to a few weeks, the above-ground sensor system is easy to install / remove only requiring existing road furniture, without disrupting traffic.
Over 150 local and transport authorities are using and benefiting from a permanent version of this technology for long-term monitoring. AI-powered computer vision sensors are rapidly becoming the preferred data and insight gathering solution due to its superior accuracy, richness of data and scalability.
Benefits of Smart Temporary Surveys
Time to Data
Access to short term transportation survey data as soon as the survey is over, via a spreadsheet or team-wide online dashboard access.
Fully GDPR Compliant & Reliable
Anonymised data collection with on-edge AI processing and an independently verified 97% accuracy rate in the day and night time.
Rich Datasets
Standard datasets include classified counts, traces (journey path), turning counts, with options for speed, occupancy, journey times (origin and destination), and more.
Multimodal Classification
Understand the behaviour and trends for active travel modes (pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooters), motorbikes, cars, taxis (black cabs), buses, vans, L/HGVs, OGV1&2.
Cost-effective & Easy Installation
Above-ground, battery powered sensors allow for easy and quick installation / removal, only requiring existing furniture such as a lamp post or traffic light pole, with minimal disruption to traffic or damage to the road infrastructure.
Live & Remote Access
Remotely check the sensor view and data capture for accuracy day and night, and add new features and datasets via the cloud anytime.
Aligned Datasets
Align the methodology between permanent strategic monitoring sites and ad-hoc data collection. The data is also available in different formats to match existing data banks.
