Build Your Own Traffic Monitor
The Traffic Monitor is a compact, open-source device designed to capture holistic roadway usage, providing real-time insights on cars, bikes, pedestrians, and air quality.
Built on commodity hardware with a "Right-to-Repair" focus, the system is designed to be accessible, repairable, and replaceable by anyone.
Fully customizable with a right-to-repair foundation
Sample configurations
01
The Raspberry Pi 5 w/ AI co-processor and Camera is the lowest cost and provides object detection, direction, software speed estimates, and supports custom models.
02
Add the radar for certified accurate speed measurements, nighttime detections, and more (see repo for upcoming features).
03
Include environmental sensors to measure air quality (AQ), combustion gases, particulate matter (PM 1, 2.5, 10), noise, temperature, and much more.
04
Mix-and-match components and sensors to meet your hardware needs!
05
3D print your own enclosure and accessories using our open models that matches your style, taste, and use case.
The traffic monitor software is capable of supporting potentially any number of cameras (default models up to 100 FPS) either connected directly or via a local feed on the same Traffic Monitor to simultaneously view multiple directions (see recommended hardware > cameras for more details).
The TM software also has support for up to four (4) radars directly connected and paired in any pattern to the cameras.
