Pedestrian Detection

viAct Pedestrian Detection is a computer vision safety solution that turns existing CCTV or IP cameras into an intelligent monitoring layer. It identifies human presence in real time within predefined risk zones, triggering alerts before collisions or unsafe interactions occur. It is built for safety teams in manufacturing, logistics, construction, public spaces, transport hubs, and maritime ports.

How it works

The module is selected from viHUB, a centralized library of over 200 AI video analytics modules. It connects to existing IP or CCTV cameras via RTSP without additional hardware, and can be monitored on-site or from centralized control rooms. Once active, it continuously processes live video feeds to evaluate pedestrian presence, movement behavior, and spatial context, identifying pedestrians in restricted areas, movement patterns, dwell time, and unsafe proximity to vehicles or equipment.

Alerting and event records

Alerts are issued immediately through on-site alarms and remote channels such as dashboards, mobile notifications, or SMS. Each event is recorded with time-based visual context, enabling teams to review histories and uncover recurring exposure patterns. The solution supports monitoring across multiple sites and integrates with enterprise safety systems for data-driven safety governance.

Where it is used

The solution is critical in manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics yards, public plazas, retail corridors, construction zones, airports, metro stations, and maritime ports. It monitors pathway deviations, blind-spot entry, and unexpected human presence near forklifts, automated equipment, delivery vehicles, cranes, and trucks. It also addresses challenges like poor visibility, overcrowding during shift changes, and pedestrians moving outside approved walkways.

Measured impact

A case study from a Dublin manufacturing facility reported a 58% reduction in pedestrian-vehicle near misses within weeks of deployment. The solution also reduced manual monitoring and post-incident reviews, improving audit readiness and compliance oversight. Additional benefits include a reduction in pedestrian exposure incidents by around 60%, reduced claims frequency and regulatory penalties by 80%, and improved understanding of pedestrian movement patterns for smarter layout decisions.
