How to boost road safety and beat congestion with smart video

ledna 20, 2021

Improving the standard of driving in cities has major benefits, from reducing accidents and injuries, to speeding up traffic flow and reducing congestion. Find out about the three key ways that smart video can help traffic enforcement units manage and respond to traffic violations better and faster than ever before.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), road traffic accidents kill 1.35 million people a year. Not only that, but poor driving practices – such as illegal parking or incorrect use of priority lanes – also dramatically increase congestion and cause traffic chaos in cities around the world.

With these challenges looming large, and the number of vehicles on the roads increasing every year, city and highway authorities need smart technology solutions that detect and prevent bad driving. The good news is that there are three key ways that smart video can help with this.

1. Prevent speeding and dangerous driving using ‘checkpoints’

The latest smart video solutions verify the speed of vehicles using either a fixed speed radar at a checkpoint, or equipment that checks the average speed of a vehicle between two checkpoints. If vehicles are traveling at dangerous speeds, traffic units can trigger an immediate response. In other cases, a speeding ticket can be sent to vehicle owners at their registered address.

Fixed speed radars and smart video cameras allow you to verify the speed of vehicles traveling past a checkpoint.

Smart video cameras give you the average speed of a vehicle traveling between two checkpoints.

In addition to speeding, checkpoints equipped with smart video solutions can detect a number of additional traffic violations. For example, if drivers are wearing their seatbelts, or if the wrong types of vehicles enter a restricted zone.

2. Improve safety and traffic flow at intersections

Using smart video technology, traffic enforcement units can monitor driving behavior at intersections, helping to reduce the risk of accidents and speed up traffic flow.

As well as detecting vehicles that run red lights, the latest generation of smart video solutions helps prevent misuse of lanes, illegal U-turns, wrong-way driving, and other incidents that can cause accidents and delays.

3. Reduce illegal parking to curb congestion

Illegal parking causes major problems on road networks, especially by slowing down traffic and causing unnecessary congestion. The latest smart video solutions can help win the battle against illegal parking with high-resolution, low-light imaging, license plate recognition, and automated alerts if vehicles park in restricted zones.

Společně přináší vynikající výsledky

Pro maximalizaci bezpečnosti silničního provozu a snížení dopravní zácpy, musí tyto tři prvky spolupracovat. Jinými slovy, infrastruktura na kontrolních stanovištích, křižovatkách a omezených parkovacích zónách by měla být propojena a schopna poskytovat v reálném čase pohled na narušení provozu.

Tímto způsobem budou dopravní jednotky moci streamovat a analyzovat video data ze všech oblastí silniční sítě v reálném čase, prohlížet vozidla, která porušují dopravní pravidla, a přehrávat záběry, aby přesně viděli, co se stalo a kde. Mohou také integrovat své monitorovací systémy se systémy jízdenek, které fungují na zasílání pokut a dalších pokut na adresy majitelů vozidel.
