HAWKAI — AI Video Traffic Analytics

A loop sees a point. A camera sees the intersection.

HAWKAI processes live video for real-time traffic control, or recorded video for detailed analysis and strategic planning. It works with fixed cameras on a pole or with a drone, and detects, classifies and tracks every road user in the frame. The output: origin–destination matrices, detections and trajectories, ready for control and planning.

  • Detection and classification
  • Real-time data
  • No work on the road surface
  • Pole or drone camera
  • Connects to PTV tools

What HAWKAI measures

  • Origin–destination matrix
  • Vehicle detection
  • Vehicle classification
  • Vehicle speeds
  • Density estimate
  • Queue lengths
  • Delay (time losses)
  • Pedestrian detection
  • Trajectory and movement analysis

Online — in real time

Live detection as input for adaptive control.

  • Detection and classification
  • Queue length per approach
  • Speed and density

Works with PTV Epics and PTV Balance.

Trajectory map merged from four cameras, coloured by manoeuvre

Offline — recorded video

Four cameras merged into one trajectory map for analysis and planning.

  • O–D matrix per manoeuvre
  • Trajectories and occupancy heat map
  • Delay and demand per lane

Works with PTV Visum, PTV Vissim and LISA.

Loop vs camera

Inductive loop

Sees only the vehicle inside the loop's zone.

HAWKAI video detector

Sees the whole approach: every vehicle, the queue and the speed.

What you get from a recording

Origin–destination matrix

Vehicles for each entry–exit pair.

Vehicle trajectories

Every path through the intersection, coloured by manoeuvre.

Occupancy heat map

Where traffic actually stands still: queues and conflict zones.
