Watch: Predictive traffic management with AI-equipped cameras

12 November 2020

Two new intelligent traffic system cameras from FLIR Systems are engineered to optimize traffic flow on roadways and at intersections.

Source: FLIR SystemsThe FLIR TrafiSense AI with thermal imaging and the FLIR TrafiCam AI visible camera, both with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, can be combined with the FLIR Acyclica cloud platform to predict traffic, prevent congestion and potential accidents, and create safer road conditions. The AI-enabled cameras help control traffic dynamically at the edge through real-time data capture and processing, and provide input to traffic signal controllers at intersections, which improves traffic flow and safety in the moment.

Continuous monitoring in all weather conditions is afforded by the ability to capture heat energy data through a thermal sensor within the TrafiSense AI, and a visible low-light, high-definition sensor within the TrafiCam. The systems are Wi-Fi enabled for travel time calculations and other origin-destination applications.

The cameras can be retrofitted with 5G cellular antennas to support vehicle-to-everything connectivity, which will further enhance road safety.
