Recent innovations in thermal imaging for traffic applications, including the 6778 Flir TrafiOne smart sensor and the Flir FC-Series AID thermal imaging camera are being featured on the Flir stand at this weeks ITS World Congress.

TrafiOne, an all-round detection sensor for traffic monitoring and dynamic traffic signal control, uses thermal imaging and wifi 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 and delay times for different transport modes. Meanwhile, the new Flir ITS-Series AID camera is said to combine 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.

    David Crawford investigates an innovative public/private partnership. Los Angeles entered the second decade of the 21st century facing major challenges to its parking operations. With a population of 3.8 million, and its car-oriented culture still predominant, the city's parking meters were technically outdated - with most only accepting coins and many regularly out of service - resulting in a substantial loss of revenue. This coincided with a number of Californian cities looking to parking income to boost

    Shem Oirere looks at plans to tackle chronic congestion in the Kenyan capital - where commuters can typically expect it to take up to two hours to complete a 15km journey. Traffic jams in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, are estimated to cost the country $360 million a year in terms of lost man-hours, fuel and pollution. According to Wilfred Oginga, an engineer with the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), the congestion has been exacerbated by poor regulation and enforcement of traffic rules, absence of

    Iteris is highlighting the new SmartCycle Bike Indicator. A first of its kind, the indicator is a low-cost solution to cyclist uncertainty at red lights. It provides confirmation to vulnerable bike riders that their presence has been detected and they will be given the appropriate green light timing to safely get through the intersection. The illumination control module seamlessly works with Iteris video detection processors that employ the SmartCycle algorithm. The highly accurate algorithm, currently in
