Highways

Every day, highways around the world get drivers and passengers to their destinations at high speeds. As a small part of the overall road system, they carry huge numbers of vehicles – and those numbers are always increasing. However, the amount of vehicles on the road is increasing faster than the safety and supervision of those highways.

Highways are often congested during holidays, and violations such as speeding, crossing the gore area, emergency lane occupancy, illegal phone use, and seatbelt violations occur frequently. Limited means of monitoring on major sections of highways, fragmented data managed by separate departments, and unintelligent software all contribute to greater safety risks. Meanwhile, law enforcement disputes are cause by manual intervention. But there is a solution.

Hikvision’s Highway Solution covers all the integrated components of a highway system, keeping traffic flowing and helping people travel safely every day.

Challenges

Speeding vehicles and reckless driving on highways can cause serious damage. Lack of violation detection and slow response times also pose a real concern. Meanwhile, traffic authorities lack a mechanism to predict traffic flow, and highways are often congested on holidays.

Highway traffic congestion

Serious accidents caused by speeding

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 guidance decisions.

Detects and reports road status as smooth, slow, or congested

Challenges

Violations such as weaving out of the lanes and parking in highway gore areas happen more frequently near on- and off-ramps, which only increase accidents and congestion. Highway management simply cannot have police officers dispatched at every ramp, every day, and therefore lack evidence to respond to violations.

Illegal lane change happens more frequently near the ramp

Highway ramps lack of effective monitoring

24/7 live video on highway ramps captures violations and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, and to urge drivers to 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

Challenges

Where driving on highway shoulders is against rules and regulations, it still happens especially during congestion or auto accidents. It often blocks police vehicles and rescue vehicle for emergency use which leads to more congestion and even personal injuries and economic losses.

Illegal occupancy of the emergency lane blocks the rescue vehicles

24/7 live video captures violation behaviors and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, warning drivers on the highway shoulders and easing the strain on law enforcement personnel.

Vehicle feature information detection

Benefits

Challenges

Most tunnels are prone to challenging traffic and light conditions, causing higher accident ratios. Traditional monitoring cannot detect incidents and anomalies and thereby miss the best opportunity to minimize dangers such as accidents or unexpected roadblocks.

Unclear about the traffic condition in the tunnel

Serious accidents can happen in the tunnel

24/7 all-weather incident detection pushes instant alarms to highway management, helping onsite teams to accurately locate and rapidly resolve safety issues.
