To overcome the limited accuracy of existing street vitality assessments under dense occlusion and their lack of dynamic, multi-source data fusion, this study proposes an integrated dynamic model that couples an enhanced YOLOv11 with heterogeneous spatiotemporal datasets. The network introduces a two-backbone architecture for stronger multi-scale fusion, Spatial Pyramid Depth Convolution (SPDConv) for richer urban scene features, and Dynamic Sparse Sampling (DySample) for robust occlusion handling. Validated in Yibin, the model achieves 90.4% precision, 67.3% recall, and 77.2% mAP@50 gains of 6.5%, 5.3%, and 5.1% over the baseline. By fusing Baidu heatmaps, street-view imagery, road networks, and POI data, a spatial coupling framework quantifies the interplay between commercial facilities and street vitality, enabling dynamic assessment of urban dynamics based on multi-source data fusion, offering insights for targeted retail regulation and adaptive traffic management. By enabling continuous monitoring of urban space use, the model enhances the allocation of public resources and cuts energy waste from idle traffic, thereby advancing urban sustainability via improved commercial planning and responsive traffic control. The work provides a methodological foundation for shifting urban resource allocation from static planning to dynamic, responsive systems.
