TrafficXRoads: Guide 

FLOW – connect and define traffic analytics 

FLOW is an AI-based traffic video-analytical engine that runs on the  unit. To configure 
various  traffic tasks  on  the  unit  you  need  the FLOW  Insights  application  which  can  be 
downloaded here: 

https://datafromsky.com/flow-versions/

 There you should choose the 

correct  version  of  FLOW  Insights  to  match  the  version  of  the  FLOW  running  on  the 
TrafficXRoads device.  
 
If you have the latest version of FLOW installed on your device, you can get the latest 
FLOW Insights version here: 

http://www.datafromsky.com/download/flow/demokit/FLOW_Demokit.exe 

 

How to connect to the unit with FLOW Insights 

First, download the FLOW Insights desktop application and install it on your computer. It 
needs to be a 64-bit Windows operating system or Linux system (contact us for the Linux 
version).  The device must be network accessible from your PC and you need to know its 
IP address (see the Network configuration section). 
 
Launch FLOW Insights on your PC. Click

 

on start FLOW in the third window on the bottom 

left named “Traffic survey or FLOW device live stream”. In the first field, enter the unit´s 
IP address in the format xx.xx.xx.xx. Leave the second field empty and hit enter.
