Countbox. Traffic data from cameras, available in real time
The AI device analyzes the image locally, supports up to four cameras and transmits the results to the Orange Polska IoT Live Objects platform.
Countbox - Your roads will be smart
"Smart Road" counter boxes are small devices - mini computers with built-in AI that you can install on roads and intersections to monitor traffic in real time. They work with existing video architecture or dedicated cameras. The data is sent in real time directly to the IoT platform of the business partner of Orange Polska S.A.
We will make your city #Smart!

Solution architecture
The device is connected to cameras at the intersection and continuously downloads images from them, which it analyzes locally thanks to built-in artificial intelligence. The measurement results are then automatically sent to the IoT Live Objects cloud, where they can be viewed anytime and anywhere via a regular browser.
The drawing shows a diagram of the entire system, where the user can look at a single installation and the cloud with a map of devices and results.
View the status of multiple cameras on a common dashboard.
Define measurement areas and object residence times.
Manage multiple devices from the IoT Live Objects platform.
Receive real-time road data.
Divide the intersection into parts
📏 You can define road measurement sections or all possible traffic pairs at the intersection. Receive relationship data straight to the cloud. Research flows and the number of pedestrians moving.
Traffic sections are virtual measurement lines that you can precisely plan on road sections or the edges of intersections. Countbox uses AI to detect and classify vehicles within these lines, collecting data on flow, traffic intensity and relations between driving directions.
Define cross-sections and you will get all pairs of motion relations.
Movement and time measurement area
🗺️Thanks to the functionality of measurement areas, you will find out how long queues are at traffic lights, waiting times and examine parking zones in the city.
Measurement areas are defined spatial regions in which the system tracks moving and stationary vehicles. Thanks to these zones, Countbox calculates the queue length, waiting time, vehicle rotation on site or changing load on parking zones.
Each area counts the total and temporary number of objects.
Countbox = AI + device + cloud
Countbox takes the best parts from AITracker software.
The NVIDIA hardware platform has the performance for realtime processing.
Data available online in the IoT Live Objects platform from Orange Polska S.A
NVIDIA Deepstream allows you to process up to 4 cameras at once
AI model trained on
50 thousand photos
All in a compact housing that is easy to assemble
Define the scene and receive real-time data!
Resistance to obstructions
The counterbox recognizes whether the camera is covered and can report a problem that requires action.
Position change detection
The application detects changes in the position or rotation of the camera.
22 categories of road users
The system recognizes the categories of vehicles, pedestrians and other participants needed in traffic measurements.
Easy installation
It uses existing CCTV/IP cameras - without cutting the asphalt or installing induction loops.
Planned Countbox development modules
The current version of Countbox measures traffic. The next modules show the directions of product development.
Speed measurement
Fire detection
Threat detection
Reading registration
The scope and availability of modules should always be confirmed before preparing the offer.
Countbox is a new product financed by the EU.
Startup Booster for Social Impact
Our company received a grant as part of the "Startup Booster for Social Impact" acceleration program of the SWPS University, financed by the European Funds for the Modern Economy Operational Program 2021-2027, measure 2.28 "Startup Booster Poland - Smart Up",
The accelerator is the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
The business partner of the project is Orange Polska S.A.
Project title: "Startup Booster for Social Impact"
Title of the project: "Countbox - AITracker on an embedded device for SmartCity"
The main goal of the project is to create software for an embedded platform that will enable the recognition, tracking and counting of vehicles and pedestrians in real time from the RTSP video stream from monitoring. After processing the video data, the software will continuously send measurement data to the IoT platform of the business partner Orange Live Objects and enable remote configuration. Countbox is a fusion of hardware, software and AI, capable of processing video into numerical and measurement data. Countbox – access to vision measurements for each city. For your safety and mine. The project's leading sustainability goal is to “Make cities and human settlements safe, stable, sustainable and inclusive.”
Potential recipients include the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, road authorities, counties, communes and cities that are looking for intelligent monitoring solutions.
Project value (total gross project cost): PLN 491,508.00
The amount of contribution from European Funds is PLN 399,600.00
