RealTraffic Technologies has launched RTTNet, a new video analytics software that allows any surveillance video camera to function as an accurate and reliable traffic sensor.

RTTNet easily integrates into any existing camera network and measures speed and flow in real-time on a lane by lane basis. The technology adapts to any PTZ-platform camera movements. It not only detects the camera's movement, but also automatically relocates the pre-defined detection zones, when the operator returns it near its initial position.

The data, analysed by the software, is transmitted as traffic maps and data files that can then be seen by road users via Internet, PDAs, mobile phones or GPS navigation systems.

Tests conducted in the Montreal area and near Washington D.C. with live video feeds from traffic cameras showed that this new technology can measure speed and flow in most visibility conditions - night, day, rain, snow and even fog.

RealTraffic Technologies says this new technology was developed for traffic management authorities and also for companies that aggregate traffic data for end-user applications.

    It's not just gathering the data that's important, says Johan Herrlin - it's making sure that transport organisations share it with one another that will determine travellers' satisfaction. Data is transforming the way we move around cities, from family car journeys to the daily train commute. Gone are the days when travelling from A to B meant remembering your AA map and having to ask for directions at regular intervals. If you were trying to navigate London as a tourist a mere decade ago, it required

  • Road space utilisation improves travel times, reduces costs
    February 1, 2012
    For major road works schemes, necessary lane closures are timed to minimise congestion, most frequently at night and on weekends when traffic is at its lightest. As a result, rigid timetables are used in planning, programming and implementing work. In the UK, to calculate the expected traffic demand through roads works, historic profiles from the loop-based MIDAS (Motorway Incident Detection Automatic Signalling) system were used. These provided a valuable indicator of anticipated traffic behaviour but were

The mantra ‘We cannot build ourselves out of congestion’ has long been stated and too often ignored. But with the economy in dire straits, funding deficits and pressure to reduce governmental spending, this is now being taken seriously by almost everyone who has an interest in the flow of traffic. By ‘everyone’ we include
