Cameras get smarter with the TrafficVision treatment

The message on the TrafficVision stand is: ‘We can make your cameras smart and turn your existing equipment into sensors’. The company’s video analytic software can work with the video stream from any type of camera to provide incident detection for slowed and stopped vehicles, debris or pedestrians in the roadway and wrong-way drivers. In free flowing traffic the system can determine vehicle counts, classification and speed as well as lane occupancy across up to 14 lanes. Automatic recalibration mean

The message on the 5691 TrafficVision stand is: ‘We can make your cameras smart and turn your existing equipment into sensors’.

The company’s video analytic software can work with the video stream from any type of camera to provide incident detection for slowed and stopped vehicles, debris or pedestrians in the roadway and wrong-way drivers. In free flowing traffic the system can determine vehicle counts, classification and speed as well as lane occupancy.

Automatic recalibration means that the software can be used with pan, tilt, zoom cameras and a buffer allows for capture and playback of incidents. Users can have the software residing either on the edge, at the traffic management centre or in the cloud.

A new variant on this theme is TrafficVision Pulse which works on publically available low resolution video streams to enable third parties to derive information such as travel times and congestion warnings.

  • EdgeVis removes bandwidth barriers to mobile streamed video
    October 26, 2017
    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so

    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    January 9, 2018
    Colin Sowman looks at some of the challenges and solutions that will provide enhanced transport efficiency in tomorrow’s smarter cities. However you define a ‘smart city’, one of the key ingredients will be an efficient transport system. As most governments and city authorities face financial constraints, incremental improvements in the existing systems is the most likely way forward. In London, new trains and signalling are improving the capacity of the Underground but that then reveals previously
