Goal and impact
This is a pilot project. The aim is to measure crowds. The algorithm is not meant to recognise people or do anything with personal data.
Considerations
It is a privacy-friendly way of measuring pressure.
Human intervention
Yes, the traffic controller acts on the data. Citizens will face the effect of the algorithm when roads may be closed and diversions formed during large crowds.
Risk management
There is a risk of someone physically hacking the system. An ethical impact assessment (AIIA) was done in a precursor to this experiment. This experiment used the Digital Mirror City Ethical Framework. DPIAs were also done (the DPIA pressure measurement) describing the risks and measures regarding privacy. There is no bias, as individuals are counted without preference. The choice of where to hang the cameras was made together with the enforcers in the previous pilot.
Legal basis
Municipal Act. Article 172 Public order enforcement (camera images) and Article 151C (processing camera images under police direction).
Elaboration on impact assessments
A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) was carried out.
An ethical impact assessment (AIIA) was done at a precursor to this experiment. This experiment used the Digital Mirror City Ethics Framework.
Impact assessment
Operations
Data
Camera footage.
Technical design
The camera records, a number of seconds. The server right next to the camera counts the number of people and deletes the data. The algorithm is trained to recognise people in different situations such as for example on a bicycle, in a wheelchair or crawling.

- The algorithm uses sensor data to make a calculation for predictions of slipperiness risks. These predictions are used to determine where to grit (preventively), in consultation with meteorologists. In addition, the algorithm can issue various alarms, for example when there is a chance of wet road sections freezing.Last change on 10th of July 2024, at 8:18 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
