Real-time traffic video from 1964 TrafficLand’s international cameras is to be added to data visualisation software company IDV Solutions’ Visual Command Center, offering customers increased situational awareness.
 
The integration of TrafficLand network video with Visual Command Center helps provide security operators with real-time information about risks to operations, threats to personnel and interruptions to supply lines.
 
Security operations teams at Global 2000 corporations and government organisations use Visual Command Center to obtain a single integrated picture of their asset locations and potential threats to those assets. Visual Command Center consolidates information about risk events, such as acts of terrorism, severe weather, civil unrest and disease outbreaks, with data from an organisation’s internal systems and other sources, on an interactive map and timeline.
 
When a potential threat is detected, Visual Command Center automatically alerts operators, who can use powerful visualisation, filtering and query tools to assess the threat and then act to mitigate risk.
 
“Real-time, location-based video from TrafficLand’s international network of traffic cameras delivers ‘eyes-on-the-ground’ awareness, which can help IDV Solutions’ customers more accurately assess risks and protect assets,” said Lawrence Nelson, CEO of TrafficLand.
 
“By partnering with an industry leader like TrafficLand, with an extensive network of traffic cameras, we can provide our customers with reliable, real-time intelligence for making decisions,” said Mark Morrison, CEO of IDV Solutions.  “This allows them to be proactive in protecting their operations.”

    New technologies enable increased collaboration, cooperation
    The continued expansion of IP camera networks increases the availability of useful information. At the same time, the opportunity exists to increase inter-agency collaboration. This makes information management all the more necessary in the control room environment. But the transportation sector could do a lot to help itself by gaining a better idea up front of what and how it wants to do things, says Electrosonic's Karl Johnson.

    Guillaume Ponsar, tunnel safety engineer with Egis Road Operation, writes about the advantages to be gained from the use of tunnel simulators. Major tunnel disasters over the last decade and more have shown how swiftly and badly a simple crash or fire may evolve should the wrong actions be taken by control room operators or traffic managers. Global safety issues and the reactions of operations staff have now become the principal concerns for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service providers. As a result, n

    IBM researchers are piloting a system with the City of Lyon, France which will be used to help traffic operators in its transportation management centre to evaluate an incident and make more informed assessments about which actions would restore traffic flow. Using real-time traffic data, the new analytics and optimisation technology can help officials predict outcomes and analyse ways to resolve problems. The researchers say that, although traffic management centres have sophisticated video walls and colou
