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.

    April 5, 2016
    Iteris is using Intertraffic to introduce two important safety innovations. The first is a new video-based bicycle detection system, SmartCycle, which the company says has the unique capability of distinguishing bicycles from other vehicles on the road in any lane. This process provides a special output that is sent to the traffic controller to extend the green time when bicycles are detected, allowing them to safely cross the intersection before the light changes. “Cycling is a way of life in Amsterd

    November 7, 2012
    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

    Ford Motor Company and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are collaborating on a new research project that measures how pedestrians move in urban areas to improve certain public transportation services, such as ride-hailing and point-to-point shuttles services. The project will introduce a fleet of on-demand electric vehicle shuttles that operate on both city roads and campus walkways on the university’s campus. The vehicles use LiDAR sensors and cameras to measure pedestrian flow, which ultimate

    David Crawford investigates innovative congestion management in Florida. The largest US city by area is well into the implementation of an ambitious congestion management system (CMS) on the scale of those of higher-profile centres such as Seattle and San Francisco. Regional agency the North Florida Transportation Planning Organisation (NFTPO) aims to ensure that commuters on major highways in Jacksonville can rely on a minimum 72km/h (45mph) driving speed in normal conditions.
