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.

Andrew Williams looks at a scheme on the A14 in Cambridgeshire, UK. In recent years, portable workzone ITS solutions have emerged as important tools in the management of major roadworks and system upgrade projects - and are viewed as an increasingly vital means of ensuring any ongoing traffic flow disruption is kept to a minimum.

    Wireless transmission of data and control information is making smarter traffic management easier and cheaper to install. It has long been known that connectivity is the key to improving traffic management and many cost-benefit studies prove that investment in new technology can be justified in terms of reduced congestion, shorter travel times, improved safety and air quality. However, many authorities’ cap-ex budgets only cover urgent matters, not improvements, making it difficult, if not impossible to
