Congestion Pricing, As Seen Through DOT Cameras
Saturday March 29, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm EDT
2-112
Join machine learning engineer Isaac Donis and designer/UX expert Tim Harris for an illuminating data-driven presentation on New York City's congestion pricing through the lens of NYC Department of Transportation cameras. Born as a passion project, they've developed a custom computer vision approach to capture and analyze traffic patterns across the city, creating a unique grassroots dataset that offers fresh insights into the real-world effects of congestion pricing on our streets.

This session will showcase their methodology for counting vehicles per minute across DOT camera feeds and present their findings in accessible, visually compelling formats. Perfect for data enthusiasts, policy-minded New Yorkers, transportation advocates, and anyone curious about how technology can provide new perspectives on urban challenges. The presentation will conclude with a Q&A session where audience members can engage directly with the presenters about their techniques, findings, and implications for the future of NYC transportation.
