Traffic Surveys are crucial for different transport studies like Origin-Destination studies, Traffic Volume estimations, Vehicle Flow characteristics Determinations, Speed and Delay Studies, Turning Movement analysis, Parking Analysis etc. Currently, Sri Lankan researchers are using mostly human-based manual surveys and semi-automated methods for Traffic Surveys. However, there is an issue in cost, effort, the value of time, and the accuracy of data gathering in the above methods. Therefore, under Accelerating Higher Education Expansion and Development (AHEAD) grant, we are researching the possibility of doing surveys using videography and Artificial Intelligence technologies for continuous and accurate data collection to reduce the burden that is currently facing. Using CCTV video cameras, we have done surveys in different locations in Western Province to check
