How we measure it

Vehicle counting

We pull a fresh image from each of the City of Calgary's 216 traffic cameras every minute and count the cars, trucks and buses in view with a computer-vision model. Counts are averaged into 5-minute windows and kept, so every camera builds up its own history.

Typical, busy, heavy

Each camera has its own pattern: a Tuesday at 8 AM doesn't look like a Saturday at 11 PM. We compare the last 15 minutes with what that camera typically shows at this hour on this weekday over the trailing 8 weeks. A camera reads busy when it is clearly above its own typical range (about one standard deviation), at least 15% up, and at least 3 more vehicles in view; heavy at about two standard deviations, 30% and 5 vehicles. Everything else is typical. The same rule sets the road lines, the map colours and the alerts, so they never disagree.

Density, not flow

We count vehicles visible in the frame, not vehicles per hour. Slow or stopped traffic piles up more vehicles in view, so density is a better proxy for how congested a spot feels than throughput. A free-flowing freeway camera can show fewer vehicles than a backed-up arterial while carrying more cars per hour.

Roads and alerts

Each main road is cut into stretches of up to four cameras, and a stretch takes the level its cameras agree on. A road line sums up its stretches. An alert appears only when cameras measure heavy traffic: on a stretch of the road, or right next to a City incident on that road. The cause (an incident, the weather, construction) is stated only when a City report or the weather backs it, and we never predict how long it will last. Tap "Was this right?" on an alert to tell us.

City incidents

Incidents come from the City's live list, checked every few minutes. We name them the way the City does: most are posted as a plain "traffic incident", and we only say "crash" when the City's description does. Each one shows the road it is on, the road it crosses, and our nearest camera either side. When an incident blocks two or more lanes on a main road and none of our cameras can see it, it shows as "reported by the City". "More incidents than usual today" means more than on 9 in 10 of the same weekdays over the past year, by the same time of day.

Weather

The weather words are what Environment Canada observed at the Calgary airport. When the picture at a camera reads far below typical for half an hour in snow or poor visibility, we set it aside as "picture unclear" rather than call the road quiet. Some cameras also get a picture check: an AI model describes two stills a minute apart when something needs a second look, and the road surface it sees (wet, snowy, icy) appears in the weather details.

Camera feeds

"Feed delayed" means the City image hasn't updated in 15 minutes; "feed stuck" means the picture hasn't changed across several windows. Neither counts toward a level. Counts can underestimate when a camera is obstructed, poorly lit or looking into weather. We don't track individual vehicles or measure speed.

Why this exists

The City doesn't retain these counts. By saving every detection we're building a record Calgary hasn't had: seasonal patterns, before-and-after comparisons for road projects, and what a crash does to a corridor. Tracking with this method since May 1, 2026.
