Vivacity Labs will introduce more sensors across central London locations as Transport for London (TfL) seeks to better understand road use in the capital. London-based Vivacity was co-founded by Mark Nicholson, Yang Lu and Peter Mildon in 2015. The company, in which Tracsis plc has a 24.6% shareholding (see Tracsis on schedule after H1 and work back), has developed sensors that use artificial intelligence to automatically count road users and pedestrians and classify modes of transport. All video captured by the sensors is processed and discarded within seconds, meaning that no personal data is ever stored. Since 2018, the sensors have been trialled by TfL at two locations in the city.
