for assessing pedestrian movement. Constructed between 2003 and 2006, the PAMELA laboratory is
a novel and highly flexible facility allowing test pedestrian
infrastructure to be built and tested. Link to overview of PAMELA.
Number plate recognition data & journey time
Blackwall Tunnel image by Nico Hogg under creative commons license
Capturing number plate data at suitable entry and exit boundary points, we can estimate the travel time of a vehicle
