Safe and efficient roadside traffic studies
Portable data collection with onboard video processing
Collecting traffic data can be dull, dirty, and dangerous work. When choosing a data collection tool for your studies, more than the upfront purchase cost of the hardware needs to be considered. Data quality and accuracy is the end goal for all studies, but using the best tool for all studies that keeps road workers and road users safe also needs to be a priority.
Miovision Scout® Explore provides:
-
Safer deployments than road tubes
-
Multimodal traffic studies
-
Onboard video processing at the roadside
-
Automatic data upload for volume counts (ATRs), speed** and bicycle/pedestrian pathway studies*
-
All-in-one design for easier transport and set up
-
Safety Studies for advanced safety analytics
-
*Custom classifications, such as e-scooters, are available by request.
-
**Vehicle speed will be available late 2023.

Safe and non-intrusive
Keeping field teams out of roadways is critical when setting up traffic study equipment. That’s why Scout Explore is safely deployed at the roadside.
Set up can be done in 15 minutes and taken down in much less time.
Scalable and customizable studies
Scale studies as needed. Scout Explore:
- Operates on one to four high-capacity Lithium-ion batteries
- Can be left in the field for up to 12 days (4 batteries)
- Batteries can be replaced in the field without interrupting the study or shutting down the device
- Maximizes video storage with industrial-grade SD card
Automatic data upload
AI algorithms and cellular connectivity enable:
- Onboard video processing
- Automatic upload of multimodal volume counts (ATRs), speed and pedestrian/bicycle pathway data
- Immediate, remote access to data for review and validation from anywhere
Collect more data
Full HD camera with HFOV 124° lens provides:
- Wide field of view
- Ability to collect more data in the study area
- Improved data quality and insights for study locations
- Cost-effective deployments using a single device
Multimodal by default
- Vehicle classifications - cars, motorcycles, pickups & vans, single-unit trucks, articulated trucks, buses
- Multimodal classifications - pedestrians and bicycles
- Custom classifications, like e-scooters, are available upon request
Understand your traffic networks better. Gather insights from the raw video-based data to create studies for:
- Intersection counts - vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian movements
- Pathway counts - pedestrian and bicycle
- Road volume (ATR) counts with optional speed reports
- Roundabout counts
- Travel time
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are just some of the questions we get asked about Scout Explore and portable traffic data collection.
How does Miovision guarantee accurate traffic data?
Miovision ensures 95%+ data accuracy on most multidirectional counts (TMCs, Roundabouts, Pathway Junction counts). Once a video is uploaded to Miovision, it’s configured by a Data Services Technician to identify vehicle entry and exit points, and all possible movements. Next, the video is submitted to Miovision’s proprietary system for data extraction and processing. The data is then manually reviewed for accuracy and anomalies. Corridors and adjacent locations are checked with data visualization tools to ensure a ±5 vehicle accuracy or 95% match between common links.
Who uses Scout Explore to collect traffic data?
The traffic data collected by Scout Explore is used by transportation professionals around the world to help improve mobility and make transportation networks more efficient.
Whether you are a city planner, traffic engineer, department of transportation, or an advocacy group, Scout Explore provides traffic data and analytics that are accurate, easy to understand and designed to help you make informed decisions about how your transportation networks are planned and managed.
