This paper presents a vehicle detection, tracking, and counting system for urban traffic videos based on integrating YOLOv9s and DeepSORT. The proposed method aims to address challenges such as occlusions, high vehicle density, and identity consistency in surveillance video analysis. A private dataset consisting of annotated traffic videos recorded in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam, was used for evaluation. The YOLOv9s model was selected for its balance between speed and accuracy, while DeepSORT provides robust multi-object tracking using appearance features and Kalman filtering. Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP at 0.5) of 91.4%, an mAP at 0.5-0.95 of 82.7%, and operates at an average speed of 12.9 frames per second (FPS). Vehicle counting was validated against manually annotated ground truth with an average error rate of less than 4%. These results indicate that the proposed approach is both accurate and efficient for real-time traffic monitoring applications.
