West Virginia’s Department of Highways (WVDOH) has awarded intelligent transportation systems (ITS) provider 5660 Open Roads Consulting a contract to implement a video analytics monitoring system to enhance the advanced transportation management system (ATMS) deployed in the Transportation Management Center (TMC).

Open Roads’ OpenTMS ATMS system has been deployed state-wide by WVDOH since 2008; the company says its modular and extensible architecture will seamlessly integrate the video analytics monitoring system as an adaptive functionality for the closed circuit television (CCTV) platform. While the ATMS will continue to provide real-time visual monitoring of traffic incidents, this enhanced version will allow the system to monitor the entire ITS network autonomously.

The round-the-clock video analytics improves the accuracy and timeliness of incident detection by providing operators with automatic alert notifications of traffic related incidents across the state, providing more efficient traffic incident management and improved safety for motorists.

Bruce Kenney, ITS coordinator and systems management engineer at WVDOH stated “The Open Roads ATMS solution deployed at the Transportation Management Center is a robust technology that facilitates ITS operations to transform traffic operations through innovative solutions. The open architecture of the OpenTMS solution allows us to add new functionalities and enhancements to existing capabilities to the ATMS platform effortlessly. We are proud to be partnering with Open Roads to provide the travelling public in our state timely traffic and travel information for safe driving experience”.
