System and method for determination of traffic flow information using external data

Abstract

A system for determination of traffic flow information in an area comprising a traffic surface, such as a road surface or a pedestrian surface, said system comprising a sensing means configured to sense a sequence of signals over time related to the area, and a processing means configured to receive the sensed sequence of signals over time and optionally external data related to the area, detect moving objects in the area based on the sensed sequence of signals over time, and determine traffic flow information related to said moving objects in the sensed sequence of signals over time optionally using the external data.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
