Case Study: seven State DOTs validate reliable traffic data at scale with Flock Safety

Seven State DOTs validate 95% traffic volume accuracy with Flock Safety

The customer, seven state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), needed to obtain accurate traffic data for planning and operational decisions without the operational complexity, long timelines, or safety risks associated with traditional roadside collection methods. They partnered with Flock Safety to validate if its computer vision-based traffic monitoring could deliver reliable, FHWA-aligned traffic counts and vehicle classifications in real-world conditions.

Flock Safety implemented a validation study, deploying its cameras across diverse roadway environments for side-by-side comparisons with existing systems and third-party video annotation. The results across 2.3 million vehicles demonstrated a 95% volume accuracy and an 88% FHWA classification accuracy. This proved that Flock Safety's solution provides the reliable data agencies need while simplifying deployment and reducing field complexity.
