6778 Flir, a world leader in thermal imaging infrared cameras and intelligent detection and monitoring solutions to enhance traffic safety and mobility, will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 to highlight how the company’s smart analytics for thermal cameras can reliably detect fire and hot spots in tunnels. Next to continuous temperature measurement, Flir analytics examine size and flame dynamics to reliably detect smoke or flames in non-contact mode. The company says that cameras with its analytics detect fires much faster than traditional fire detectors and provides visual feedback to operators and emergency services.

One of the biggest advantages of thermal imaging cameras in the field of tunnel safety is that they can effectively see through many types of smoke. This makes it the ideal technology for emergency response teams to find their way through a smoke-filled tunnel or for incident detection systems to spot incidents in time.

Meanwhile, Flir will be showcasing TrafiOne, an all-round detector for adaptive and responsive traffic control. Detecting and counting vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at one intersection or across multiple intersections, Flir says TrafiOne helps traffic engineers determine travel behaviour, measure travel and delay times for different transport modes, and monitor congestion and signal performance of a road network 24/7. By seamlessly connecting to the Flir Cloud Analyser, the company says TrafiOne provides a bundle of tools to traffic engineers to monitor congestion and performance of their road network using the highest resolution of intersection data.

    October 17, 2012
    Developed by researchers led by civil engineering associate professor Henry Liu at the University of Minnesota, the SMART Signal (Systematic Monitoring of Arterial Road Traffic Signals) system is said to be reducing congestion on roads controlled by traffic lights. The system automatically collects and processes data from traffic signal controllers at multiple intersections. It then creates performance measures, including information on the times and locations congestion occurs on a given road. Traffic eng

    Wrong-way driving (WWD) is a remarkably innocuous term for incidents that all too often cause some of the worst accidents that emergency services have to deal with. Several US states are now taking steps to minimise the problem, as Alan Dron finds out. You’re driving down a highway at night when you see approaching headlights. You initially assume they are merely those of an oncoming car on the opposite carriageway. It’s only when they are within 200 yards or so that you realise that the other driver is in

    Flir’s open architecture video detection management software, Flux, enables users to scale the system to their own requirements, says the company. Flux, an intelligent software platform for use with a Flir video detection system, collects traffic data, events, alarms and video images generated by the video detectors, to manage and control all traffic information generated by multiple detectors and provide the user with meaningful and relevant data. The web-based graphical user interface provides event alert

    Surveillance camera technology has come a long way over the last 20 years as visitors to the Axis Communications booth here at ITS America 2016 San Jose will see. The company invented the network camera in 1996, making it possible to connect a video camera directly to a computer network (commonly referred to as IP video). The shift from analog to IP has changed the global security market. According to Axis, with network cameras being based on open IP standards, authorised users can get secure and flexible a
