• 1. Traffic Flow Dashboard

  Data Visualization: 71-607-X2022018

  Description: This dashboard shows traffic count data that is obtained from traffic camera imagery using a computer vision-based system developed at the Data Exploration and Integration Lab (DEIL) at Statistics Canada. The system periodically pulls traffic imagery from the Application Programmable Interfaces (APIs) of municipal and provincial traffic camera programs. Vehicle detection was implemented using the open source You Only Look Once version 3 (YOLOv3) object detection model that was trained on the Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset. The output of the model is used to generates real-time counts of the detected vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles).

• 2. Traffic volume estimation from traffic camera imagery: Toward real-time traffic data streams

  Articles and reports: 18-001-X2022001

  Description:

  Monitoring traffic in large urban areas remains a challenge for both practical and technical reasons. This paper presents a computer vision-based system to periodically extract vehicle counts from Canadian traffic camera imagery.

• 3. Passenger bus and urban transit in Canada, 2019 Archived

  Stats in brief: 11-627-M2021071

  Description: The Canadian Centre for Tourism and Transportation Statistics is releasing an infographic to present an overview of Canadian Passenger Bus and Urban Transit industry in 2019. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the urban transit industry are also presented in this infographic. This snapshot highlights the urban transit industry and includes total operating expenditures and revenue, wages and fuel consumption.

• 4. Trucking Across the Border: The Relative Cost of Cross-border and Domestic Trucking, 2004 to 2009 Archived

  Articles and reports: 11F0027M2012081

  Geography: Canada

  Description:

  Despite the elimination of tariff barriers between Canada and the United States, the volume of trade between the two countries has been less than would be expected if there were no impediments. While considerable work has been done to gauge the degree of integration between the Canadian and U.S. economies through trade, relatively little analysis has parsed out the underlying costs for cross-border trade. The costs of crossing the border can be divided into formal tariff barriers, non-tariff barriers, and the cost of the transport system itself. This paper focuses on the latter by estimating the cost of shipping goods by truck between Canada and the U.S. during the 2004-to-2009 period. The analysis assesses the degree to which costs to ship goods by truck to and from the U.S. exceed those within Canada by measuring the additional costs on a level and an ad valorem basis. The latter provides an estimate of the tariff equivalent transportation cost that applies to cross-border trade. These costs are further broken down into fixed and variable (line-haul) costs. Higher fixed costs are consistent with border delays and border compliance costs which are passed on to the consumers of trucking services. Higher line-haul costs may result from difficulties obtaining backhauls for a portion of the trip home. Such difficulties may stem from trade imbalances and regulations that restrict the ability of Canadian-based carriers to transport goods between two points in the United States.

• 5. The Canadian passenger bus and urban transit industries, 2005 (Preliminary) and 2004 (Final) Archived

  Table: 50-002-X200700110352

  Description:

  In 2005, the Canadian passenger bus and urban transit industries generated total revenues of about $8.6 billion, fueled by strong growth in government operating and capital funding. This represented a 12.2% increase over the $7.7 billion recorded for 2004.
