Smart Cameras Blog

From InformationWeek and Government IT

A combination of video surveillance and road sensors is being used to monitor and manage traffic. This is part of larger project, I-580 Smart Corridor, which aims to use IT to improve traffic. An example of what the system can do:

Information generated by the sensors and cameras will feed into Naztec Inc.’s Streetwise software, which runs on a central computer at the Dublin Traffic Operations Center. Engineers will use the data to make quick traffic-management decisions. If there’s an accident or congestion, for example, they can analyze the problem on the fly and change the timing of traffic lights to alter traffic patterns. The data also can be archived for future analysis.
