Analyzing Traffic Using a Webcam, a Raspberry Pi and ThingSpeak

Develop a traffic monitoring algorithm and analyze traffic data sent to ThingSpeak

You are now following this Submission

In this IoT project, we use a Raspberry Pi, a web cam and ThingSpeak to analyze traffic on a busy highway. With Simulink we design and deploy a traffic monitoring algorithm to the Raspberry Pi, and we analyze and visualize the traffic patterns using ThingSpeak, an IoT analytics platform, and MATLAB. This article features channel 38629 on ThingSpeak.
