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.
