I’m working with my neighbors to petition the city to add traffic calming measures (e.g. speed bumps, one way roads) to my street. I’m also hoping to turn it into a bit of a research project. Does anyone know of any tools to monitor or even automate data collection of the speeds of cars, number of cars going by, how many actually stop at intersections/stop signs, etc? If we’re successful with the petition, I think it would be nice to be able to present some data from before and after the traffic calming measures are put in place. Thank you in advance!
Depending on your technical ability, it might be worth looking at something like this.

A camera aimed at the road can be used to gather numbers and speeds.
Proviso, I’ve not actually played with this one. It’s a comparatively easy task for AI however, so I’d be surprised if there weren’t several options.
