Urban Roadways

Urban communities are where large numbers of people around the world work, live and play. To meet the transportation demands of persons and vehicles, urban roadways have the ability to reach all parts of the city and connect with roadways to any destination.

But with a high travel frequency, urban roadways are often congested during peak weekday hours. Violations such as running a red light, not following the directional signs, speeding, crossing the gore area, illegal phone use, and seatbelt violations occur frequently. Limited means of monitoring on major sections of urban roadways, fragmented data managed by separate departments, and unintelligent software all contribute to greater safety risks. Meanwhile, law enforcement disputes are caused by manual intervention. But there is a solution.

Hikvision's Urban Roadway Solution provides multi-scene monitoring, unlawful driving supervision, and intelligent software platforms to reduce violations, protect citizens, and keep city roads safe. This solution significantly helps improve traffic flow and elevates safety levels wherever it is implemented.

Challenges

Intersections are where vehicles and pedestrians converge, turn and leave. The traffic is very busy. Traffic accidents here are common due to driving violations, causing congestion, personal injury, or property losses. Lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and risks unavoidable.

Busy intersection

Serious accidents can happen in the intersection

Live video at intersections 24/7 captures violations and collects high definition evidence for citations. The cameras can also act as a warning to drivers who violate traffic rules and regulations.

Intersection violation detection

Benefits

Regulates traffic, reduces road violations to reduce the traffic accident rate
Improves traffic safety and order, provides safety guarantees for drivers and pedestrians
Prevents conflicts between police and citizens and enhances efficiency
Standardizes law enforcement

Features

Detects a variety of traffic violations including red light running, wrong-way driving, not following the directional sign, illegal lane change, weaving out of the lane, speeding, etc.
Captures abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, vehicle color, brand, type
All-in-one design reduces installation costs

Challenges

Speeding vehicles and reckless driving on urban roads can cause serious damage. Lack of violation detection and response is also a primary concern. Meanwhile, traffic authorities lack a mechanism to predict traffic flow, and traffic lanes are often congested on holidays.

Serious accidents caused by speeding on traffic lanes

Busy traffic lanes

Hikvision Speed Monitoring System calculates vehicle speeds in real time, collecting evidence of speeding for violation deterrence and law enforcement.

Hikvision Traffic Information Detection System calculates live traffic data and helps traffic police teams make better traffic decisions.

Challenges

Granting “Bus priority” is a common approach to resolving urban traffic jams, but drivers of private vehicles often occupy bus parking practices often appear. Lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Illegal occupancy of the bus lane

Illegal parking on the bus lane

24/7 live video captures violation practices and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, warning illegal drivers on the bus lane and easing the strain on law enforcement personnel.

Challenges

Roadside space, a public resource in a city, is limited. At present, many countries use parts of urban roadsides as temporary parking areas only for short stays, but illegal vehicles tend to park for extended times. Lack of police force and violation evidence make response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Extended parking on Urban roadside

Lack of police force for Urban roadside

Live video 24/7 captures parking violations and collects high definition evidence for citations, warning drivers against illegal parking. Hikvision offers more accurate detection of parked vehicles with ultra clear close-up images.

Illegal parking detection

Benefits

Reduces illegal parking on urban roadsides
Prevents traffic congestion, keeps vehicles moving smoothly
Video-based remote detection and parking violation management enhances efficiency
Standardizes law enforcement

Features

Detects and reports illegally parked vehicles that can easily cause road congestion or traffic incidents on urban roadsides
Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, vehicle color, type
Supports automatic image upload of illegally parked vehicles, facilitating efficient evidence management

Challenges

Yellow box junctions are painted at intersections and critical driving areas. They are often found near institutions such as schools, hospitals, government buildings, etc. Vehicles are prohibited to park in a yellow box junction for extended times, but lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Congestion caused by heavy traffic flow

Live video at Yellow Box Junction 24/7 capture violations and collects high definition evidence for citations. It acts as a warning to drivers who violate traffic rules and regulations.

Yellow box junction violation detection

Benefit

Regulates traffic, reduces road violations to reduce the traffic accident rate, provides safety, guarantees for drivers and pedestrians
Improves traffic safety and order, provides safety guarantees for drivers and pedestrians
Prevents conflicts between police and citizens and enhances efficiency
Standardizes law enforcement

Features

Detects the violations of illegally driving into the yellow box junction of a crossroad when there is congestion.
Detects yellow box junction violations
Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, vehicle color, make, type

Challenges

Gore areas are often set at overly wide, irregular, or complex intersections, and their function is to guide drivers to prescribed routes. Vehicles crossing the gore area increase accidents and congestion, seriously affecting road safety. Traffic police simply cannot dispatch officers at every gore area, every day, and therefore lack evidence to respond to violations.

Accident occur more frequently at gore Area

Gore areas lack sufficient monitoring

24/7 live video at gore areas captures violations and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, and helps make drivers follow rules and regulations.

Crossing gore area detection

Benefits

Regulates driving behaviors at ramps, reduces ramp violations to reduce the traffic accident ratio, and improves traffic safety
Reduces enforcement disputes caused by manual intervention to enhance efficiency
Standardizes law enforcement processes

Features

Detects gore area crossing violations and records the whole violation process at the entrance & exit ramps of urban roadways
Abundant vehicle feature data supports LPR, vehicle color, type, and brand recognition

Challenges

Command centers are essential for urban roadway management, covering daily routines like violations and emergency response. Current third-party systems at command centers lack of standard platform to manage large numbers of devices and complex processes.

Significant amounts of data transferred to command centers

Manual operation of devices and processes is costly and inefficient

Hikvision software and hardware are highly integrated as one full-stack system, making it easy to deploy. The modular and customized system covers all kinds of urban roadways scenarios.
