Recent innovations in thermal imaging for traffic applications, including the 6778 Flir TrafiOne smart sensor and the Flir FC-Series AID thermal imaging camera will feature on the Flir stand at the ITS World Congress Melbourne.

TrafiOne,  an all-round detection sensor for traffic monitoring and dynamic traffic signal control, uses thermal imaging and wi-fi tracking technology to provide traffic engineers with high-resolution data on vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at intersections and in urban environments. It helps traffic engineers to improve traffic flows, reduce vehicle idling time, monitor congestion, enhance safety for vulnerable road users, collect data and measure travel & delay times for different transport modes.

Meanwhile, the new Flir ITS-Series AID camera combines best-in-class thermal imaging technology with advanced video analytics to provide a complete solution for automatic incident detection, data collection and early fire detection.

    Machine vision techniques hold the potential to solve a multitude of challenges facing the transportation sector Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the base technology for number plate recognition, has been in industrial use for more than three decades. It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val

    Lee County in Florida has consolidated dramatic results of a major traffic signal retiming with installation of advanced monitoring and management technology for generating further benefits. The Lee County Department of Transportation (DOT), in the US State of Florida, has completed retiming of traffic signals for over 50 intersections in the cities of Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. The project aimed to evaluate existing operations and enable adjustments to optimise flows, and has produced dramatic results

    The City of Cologne, Germany, and IBM have completed a smarter traffic pilot to predict and manage traffic flow and road congestion in the city. The pilot demonstrates how the city of Cologne can anticipate, better manage, and in many cases, avoid traffic jams and trouble spots across the city using analytics technology. Germany’s fourth largest city, Cologne has a population of just over one million, is a retail centre, hub for trade shows and a cultural center with many museums and galleries. The increas
