1. What are video monitoring cameras?

Video monitoring cameras allow staff to identify or verify traffic congestion in the control center, make immediate modifications to the traffic signal timing accordingly to relieve the traffic congestion and verify the effect of these changes. Also, traffic incidents can be immediately reported to the Police and Fire Rescue Departments for clearing the roadway quickly.

2. What is a video detection system?

Video Detection Systems are replacing the old existing detector loops cut into the pavement. This detection system uses video images from cameras installed at an intersection to detect vehicles approaching or stopped at the intersection. This project provides substantial relief as it prevents the loss of detection due to loops getting cut by construction activities. Video detection will provide for continuous detection during construction time frames, are more durable than regular loop detection, and are easier to maintain. The cost of video detection is relatively similar to standard detector loops at large intersections.
