Part 6: Key Applications – Commercial Real Estate

In part 5 of this series, we discussed a key application for AI video analytics: Smart City and Transportation. Public transport agencies’ ability to derive actionable and data-driven insights in real-time from their surveillance cameras allows them to understand their traffic flows, demographic groups, and service usage patterns, optimize operations, and build safe environments to enhance their service quality and increase user satisfaction.

Understanding customer shopping patterns and preferences are key insights for shopping mall operators and retail stores to maximize their operational efficiency, boost store performance, as well as develop more targeted sales and marketing strategies to grow sales margins and elevate customers’ in-store experience. In addition to safely and anonymously collecting comprehensive and accurate insights on its store traffic’s socio-demographic and cross-shopping patterns, retailers can also identify their store’s pass-through traffic rate (e.g., visitors who enter the store but do not buy anything), study their in-store journey, A/B test marketing strategies and build highly targeted sales campaigns to convert pass-through traffic into purchasing customers.
