Video classifier for mobility actors as an alternative to manual volumetric counts

Executive Summary: This project contributes to the long-term goal of obtaining continuous data on the use of road infrastructure and public space. Municipalities carry out automated vehicle counts on avenues, but pedestrians and cyclists are not recorded. Open data approaches are also not used, so the information collected is not accessible
