Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

Intelligent IP cameras deliver automatic incident detection enabling Traffic Management Center (TMC) operators to quickly react to events such as congestion, a stopped vehicle, fire or smoke in hard to see areas, or a wrong-way driver. Automated incident alerts give operators improved situational awareness to reduce disruption times, which is especially valuable for emergency response vehicles.

Beyond incident detection, camera analytics and metadata enable the ability to collect and aggregate data – helping you understand traffic patterns, congestion points, and more. Camera-generated analytics data facilitates solutions like historical data dashboards for making intelligent business decisions.

With distracted pedestrians, more bicyclists, and an increase in public transportation in urban environments, it is essential to implement strategies for improved safety. Additionally, congestion from vehicles and pedestrians when traffic volumes are high creates inefficiencies that result in user delay and frustration, and increases environmental emissions.

Built-in video analytics at the edge allows cameras to become intelligent devices that can alert to safety risks and give operators improved awareness of busy intersections. Machine learning also enables customized solutions to solve the specific needs of cities and transportation departments.

When traffic congestion increases on roadways during peak times, it's essential to know about safety risks as early as possible to take action quickly. Congestion also leads to an increase in environmental emissions.

Cameras act as intelligent sensors to report issues affecting the safety of motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The cameras enable the collection of data for analysis, facilitating data-driven decision-making for smart corridor and enhanced safety applications.

Through partnerships with highway information solution providers, cameras can trigger third-party systems to notify drivers on the road, improving situational awareness and enabling them to take action earlier. For example, automated triggers to dynamic message signs and dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) broadcast messages for smart vehicles and early incident detection and mitigation, help first responders to intervene more quickly, and avoid secondary accidents.

In busy cities, Video Analytics can help monitor parking lot occupancy and curbside parking, as well as enforce no-parking zones. In lots, cameras can count the number of open spaces, specialized spots – such as those for people with disabilities or electric vehicles – or track ingress and egress, and relay this data to the video and parking management systems.

Cameras can trigger third-party systems to share alternative parking locations on a dynamic message sign so drivers can find open parking faster to get off the road, reducing traffic congestion and emissions.

Operators gain valuable insights from video analytics data that easily converts to dashboards for making intelligent business decisions.
