Live data

The block, by the numbers.

The construction cam isn't just a picture — a computer-vision pipeline watches the frame around the clock, counting the cars on the street and the comings and goings at the block. Here's what it's seeing.


Reading the cam…

The daily pulse

When the block is busiest.

The hour-by-hour pulse appears once the camera has logged a day of traffic.

How it's measured

Frames are sampled once a second from the live feed and run through an object detector (YOLOv8) with multi-object tracking, on the same machine that streams the cam. A vehicle is counted when its track crosses a line — one across the street for through-traffic, one at the block's edge for comings and goings. Nothing is recorded but the counts; no images leave the camera. Treat the numbers as a good-faith estimate, not a survey — a single window, at one frame a second, sees only so much.
