Challenging Motorcycle Detection - Report on Business Trip to Vietnam

In October 2022, we traveled to Vietnam as part of a project commissioned by JICA to conduct a preliminary survey. The ultimate goal of this project is to implement our inverter ventilation control system in the "Saigon River Tunnel" located in Ho Chi Minh City. During this business trip, we conducted a preliminary field survey regarding motorcycle traffic volume as a preliminary step.
Why measure motorcycle traffic volume? The reason is to use it as a parameter for optimal ventilation control. In Vietnam, there are many motorcycle users, and in enclosed spaces like tunnels, appropriate ventilation is essential from the perspective of CO concentration. Additionally, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in environmental considerations in the country, and energy-saving effects through inverter control are also anticipated.
When we actually visited the site, it seemed common to see multiple motorcycles running parallel in a single lane (motorcycle-only). Our measurement system does not account for such complex traffic situations, which may become a development challenge in the future. Actual measurements are scheduled for December 2022. Stay tuned for further updates!
