Smart Intersections
Turn your intersections into the foundation of safer mobility.
Intersections are where traffic problems are most visible and most dangerous. Traditional tools like induction loops or manual counts can tell you how many vehicles pass, but not how people actually move, interact or take risks. Flow Analytics by AGC changes that. With LiDAR-based, privacy-first analytics, we deliver a complete picture of intersection dynamics to reduce congestion, prevent accidents and support better planning.
The Challenge at Intersections
How It Works
Our system uses LiDAR sensors to capture the full geometry of movement around an intersection. Every vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian is tracked in real time as a set of anonymous 3D points, ensuring complete privacy while still providing centimeter-level accuracy. From these raw data streams, advanced algorithms reconstruct full trajectories, detect interactions and measure the performance of the intersection.
With this approach, you gain a much deeper view of what happens on the ground:
Traffic demand in each approach
See how many users arrive from each direction, how they distribute across lanes and how patterns change by time of day.
Turning patterns and lane usage
Understand which movements dominate, how effectively turning lanes are used and where unexpected behaviour occurs.
Signal performance and queue build-up
Measure how queues form, how long they last and how quickly they clear, providing clear evidence to adjust signal timings.
Near-miss interactions across all modes
Identify situations where vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians come dangerously close to each other, even if no crash occurs.
From Insights to Action
Smart intersections are not about more data, they are about better decisions. With Flow Analytics, you can:
- Retune traffic signals for efficiency.
- Redesign geometry to reduce conflicts.
- Monitor the impact of new measures with before and after comparisons.
- Support Vision Zero with evidence of risks, not just accidents.
Recent Smart Intersections Implementation
Flow Analytics by AGC launched a smart intersection solution in Brussels, capturing real turning movements, queue dynamics and near-miss interactions. The data allowed local authorities to adjust signal timing and optimize safety at the junction.
Why Smart Intersections Solution from Flow Analytics by AGC?
Privacy-first
Our solution never captures faces, license plates or personal data. It relies on anonymous 3D LiDAR points, making it fully GDPR-compliant and safe for public use.
Accurate and detailed
Movements are tracked down to the centimeter, enabling precise counts, classifications and trajectory analysis that manual methods and cameras cannot match.
Proven in real-world conditions
Designed for complex urban settings with heavy traffic, poor lighting or weather challenges, ensuring consistent results where other systems fail.
Actionable
Instead of raw feeds that need extra processing, we deliver insights in dashboards, reports and GIS formats that decision-makers can apply directly to planning, design and operations.
