Solution AI Vision 4G/LTE + Ethernet/PoE People and vehicles
AI-based people and vehicle counting — wireless and Ethernet
People counters and vehicle traffic analysis cameras with two data transmission paths — over a mobile network or wired Ethernet. All results can be delivered to one ITS dashboard.
Why this solution
Four reasons to choose this solution
01
Up to 99.8% people-counting accuracy
AI stereo vision with U-turn filtering reduces double counts and errors typical of simpler motion sensors.
02
Flexible installation
The VS125-LW cellular model transmits data over 4G/LTE, while the Ethernet/PoE model uses the existing network and one cable for both data and power.
03
One system, multiple entrances
Data from wireless and wired cameras is delivered to the same ITS instance — one dashboard for the entire facility.
04
More than a counter
Traffic heat maps and AI attributes provide information about behaviour and traffic intensity, not just a single number.
Solution components
What the solution includes
-
AI stereo-vision people counter — 4G/LTE cellular modelView in the store →
It counts people and transmits results wirelessly over a mobile network. The device requires a local 12 V DC power supply but does not require an Ethernet data cable.
-
AI stereo-vision people counter — Ethernet/PoE modelView in the store →
The same people-counting technology, connected and powered through PoE, transmitting data directly over the TCP/IP network.
-
AI camera for vehicle counting
A dedicated traffic camera with AI analysis, classification and flow statistics. The model, lens, power supply and connection method are selected for traffic speed, number of lanes, lighting and installation conditions.
-
ITS platform — Edge Cabinet or ITS CloudView local model →
It aggregates data from people counters and traffic cameras and provides a shared dashboard with current and historical views. The deployment is selected for local or central operation.
The number of devices and proportion of cellular and Ethernet models are selected for the specific facility. The cellular VS125-LW works at points without a data cable, while the PoE model uses existing cabling. Vehicle cameras are selected separately for traffic conditions and available infrastructure.
Full information about ITS platform capabilities — including other supported protocols and data sources — is available at its.iots.eu.
How it works
How it works
Dedicated AI devices selected for the traffic type and installation conditions.
The LoRaWAN gateway aggregates wireless transmissions. In the wired model, the same cable can also provide PoE power.
Current counts, history, trends and the status of all devices.
AI stereo-vision counters register people flow and distinguish the direction of movement, while dedicated traffic AI cameras analyse vehicle traffic. In the wireless model, data is sent over LoRaWAN to a LoRaWAN gateway, which forwards it to the ITS platform. Each point requires a power supply suitable for the selected device.
At points with network access, the Ethernet/TCP-IP model uses a network cable for transmission, and for PoE devices the same cable also provides power. Regardless of the path, all results are delivered to the ITS platform and presented in one dashboard.
| Point | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance A | 4G/LTE | online |
| Entrance B | PoE | online |
| Vehicle entrance | LTE backhaul | online |
| Hall | Ethernet | online |

Applications
Where it works best
Shops and shopping centres
Analysis of customer traffic, peak hours and heat maps to support decisions about space organisation.
Smart offices
Room and common-area occupancy as input for office space management.
Entrances and car parks
Counting vehicles entering and leaving using dedicated traffic AI cameras.
Public facilities
Occupancy monitoring and flow analysis in public buildings.
Warehouses and logistics
Monitoring the flow of people and vehicles, including points without an Ethernet data cable.
Sports and event venues
Ongoing monitoring of participant numbers against defined safety limits.
Comparison
One dashboard, regardless of the connection method
Traditional approach
- Manual counting or simple sensors without direction recognition
- Separate systems for different entrances and no shared overview
- Every measurement point requires cabling
- Errors during heavy traffic or U-turns
- No historical data or additional traffic analysis
This solution
- Up to 99.8% people-counting accuracy using AI stereo vision
- One dashboard for all entrances and vehicle access points
- 4G/LTE or a selected wireless backhaul without a data cable — Ethernet/PoE where infrastructure is available
- People U-turn filtering and dedicated AI vehicle analysis
- Heat maps, AI attributes, and current and historical data
Integration and onward data flow
ITS is the starting point, not the endpoint
Counts, statuses and historical data can remain in the ITS dashboard or feed the organisation’s operational, reporting and analytical systems.
A shared model for counts, device statuses and historical data.
The interface and update frequency are selected for the receiving system.
Data can support operational processes and reporting.
The diagram shows example ITS platform integration paths. The specific protocol, data scope and exchange frequency are defined separately for each deployment.
Access to dashboards and configuration can be granted according to the user role.
Deployments requiring remote access can use the built-in VPN server.
Data can remain in ITS Edge or be consolidated from multiple facilities in ITS Cloud.
Describe the facility and measurement points.
For an initial discussion, a plan or approximate number of entrances and vehicle access points, installation conditions and information about the available network and power supply are sufficient.
