Nevsky Prospect Traffic Surveillance Videos from Saint Petersburg, 2017-2018

Traffic surveillance video footage from a 102-meter section of Nevsky Prospect, the central street of Saint Petersburg. The dataset was collected in November and December 2017 and January 2018, covering a two-way road with dense vehicle movement. Artur Grigorev created this collection, which includes video with a resolution of 960x720 pixels.

Use Cases

• Vehicle detection and tracking based on dense traffic movement in the video footage.
• Traffic flow analysis based on video from a defined 102-meter road segment.
• Urban scene understanding for autonomous driving systems based on winter urban street conditions.
• Benchmarking video-based object detection algorithms on real-world surveillance data.

Strengths

• Video covers a specific, measured urban area of 102 meters in length and 17.5 meters in width.
• Data collection spans three distinct months (November 2017, December 2017, January 2018), capturing seasonal variation.
• Video resolution is explicitly stated as 960x720 pixels.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
