Automatic incident detection is getting more and more powerful with development of new video hardware and software. Among recent advances, 371 Citilog has signed a new partnership deal to put the company’s incident detection software inside ‘smart cameras’ supplied by 2215 Axis.

“This partnership will allow us to offer automatic incident detection via video analytics all in one box. The goal is to provide services for highway authorities without them having to buy any new in-house equipment,” says Citilog business development manager Francois Lagadec.

Services on offer from Citilog include intersection control and traffic data collection via arrays of sensors and video analytics. “Using this technology we are able to suggest ways of optimising traffic flow, such as alteration of traffic signal timing. We are improving the functionality and possibilities of what can be done with video analytics all the time,” Lagadec says.

    David Crawford mines the potential of joined-up parking. Drivers conventionally see parking as an isolated, often frustrating, action; but collectively their attempts to find a space impact hugely on traffic flows. But new analyses of parking events look set to deliver real benefits to motorists and cities alike. Initiatives getting under way around the world are highlighting the advantages of connecting up parking events and – eventually - parked cars. The hoped-for results include not only enhanced urban
