The problem

The DC Department of Transportation runs a production ML pipeline for micromobility detection and traffic counting that relies on a third-party vendor. The question: can open-source models match it?

The approach

Build a fair, repeatable way to compare models on DDOT’s own footage and tasks, then use the results to guide where to invest.

What I built

An evaluation framework that benchmarks open-source computer vision models against the vendor for micromobility detection and traffic counting, plus improvements to license-plate-recognition (ALPR) model accuracy.

Impact

  • CVmodel benchmarking
  • ALPRaccuracy improved
  • Prodpipeline support
