Using computer vision for transport strategy development

SME Giles Lipscombe on Integrated Transport Planning (ITP).

Welcome! In our sixth expert interview, we shift our focus from traditional data collection methods to a highly innovative digital tool: computer vision.

Conrad leads an engaging conversation with Giles Lipscombe, Principal Consultant at Integrated Transport Planning (ITP).

Together, they explore how computer vision, a field of artificial intelligence, is revolutionising the way we collect and analyze transport data in resource-constrained cities. Giles explains how this tool can detect and classify vehicles, track their movement, and generate valuable insights at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

They also discuss its application in real-world projects, such as in Sierra Leone, where computer vision was used to map traffic patterns and improve urban mobility. Join us in this engaging conversation as we delve into how computer vision can transform transport planning, and we hope you enjoy learning about this exciting innovation!
