Intelligent CCTV for Urban Design: AI-Based Analysis of Soft Infrastructure at Intersections
Researchers at the University of Minnesota developed an AI-powered CCTV analytics framework to measure the effectiveness of soft infrastructure interventions (temporary pedestrian refuges, curb extensions) on traffic safety. The study found speed reductions of 16-20% at both signalized and unsignalized intersections in Minneapolis, demonstrating that computer vision-based traffic analysis enables rapid, cost-effective evaluation of urban design policies.
