A system for detecting occupancy of a vehicle travelling in a direction of travel along a road. The system includes a roadside imaging device positioned on a roadside, and a first roadside light emitter, and a roadside vehicle detector. A processor is configured to receive a signal from the roadside vehicle detector, command the first roadside light emitter to emit light according to a first pattern for a first duration, command the roadside imaging device to capture images of the side of the vehicle, and compute a vehicle occupancy, in each of the captured images by determining one or more regions of interest in each of the captured images, and determining a number of visible occupants in the one or more regions of interest. The processor determines a most likely number of occupants based on each determined vehicle occupancy.
