Lidar technology is growing in importance in traffic management. It offers reliable and precise object detection in any light or weather, with an accurate 3D image of the environment (unlike cameras), in high resolution (unlike radar), all while maintaining personal privacy.
Intertraff will be featuring its DDS camera which is designed to address the issue of distracted driving. It detects and records prosecutable evidence of drivers and front-seat passengers who fail to wear seat belts and identifies drivers using mobile phones while behind the wheel. Additionally, it reads licence plates and identifies the make and model of vehicles.
The ITS World Congress 2016 Hall of Fame winners have been announced and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the 23rd ITS World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems, 10-14 October, Melbourne, Australia.
