Agenda
What is ITS?
What is ITS?
Intelligent Transportation Solutions
Everything to do with all modes of traffic and transportation
Current technologies – General and Specific
General – Cannot identify a specific vehicle
Current Sensor Technologies - General
1. Loops – the most prevalent ITS
data collection sensors
2. Magnetic pucks – Purported to
have a 7yr MTBF
3. Radar – Used as an ITS sensor
and also in combination with
cameras for enforcement
Specific – Vehicle identification technologies
Current Sensor Technologies - Specific
1. Blue-tooth data
2. Floating Vehicle Data
3. Toll Tag readers
Traditional ITS Camera Applications
The future of Cameras and ANPR
1. ITS Data Collection1. Speed
2. Occupancy
3. Volume
4. Vehicle Classification
5. Wrong Way Running
6. Debris on Road
2. New Systems1. Transponder-less Open Road tolling
2. Security Operations
3. Safety Operations
3. Smart Operations1. Integrated ANPR Solutions
2. Automated Analysis
3. Operator Flagging
Current ITS Systems Limitations
ITS is suffering from:
1. Proprietary Environments
2. Limited data available
3. Limited Intelligence
4. Limited Automation
5. Inability to effectively data mine
6. Inability to undertake time-stop data analysis
7. Management Telematics
Preventing the ability to Actively Manage the Transport Environment
What is a Sustainable ITS System
What Will a Camera Offer?
1. An inexpensive sensor able to collect data from every passing vehicle
2. The ability to collect data from more locations
3. The ability to deliver full Origin-Destination modeling
4. The ability to understand what has happened (Historic)
5. The ability to understand what is happening (Real-time)
6. The ability to understand what will happen (Predictive)
7. The ability to analyze
8. The ability to manage
Enabling the transition from Passive Monitoring to Active Management
The Major Issues facing ANPR
Privacy
Communications networks
Camera management
The cost of ANPR software
New technological applications
A peak into the future
What does this mean for ANPR applications
• Increased resolution
• Increased frame rates
• Reduced bandwidth
• Buffering
• Sequencing
• HDR / WDR
• Ability to see in almost any conditions
• A multi-use multi application device
• Access to collect all data
• The provision of a microscopic data model
• Pre-Processed data
• Operator Triggering
• Automation
• Prediction
Foreseeable Issues with this approach
• Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) Integration
– Level of data
– Data mining tools (big data)
– Data visualization tools
– Decision Support Systems
• Event triggering
• Scenario development
• Automated response plans
– Predictive data introduction
– Camera locations
– Trusting the data
• Privacy
• Change Management
– Transitioning from enforcement to management
– Transitioning from enforcement to safety
Will Cameras become a standard ITS sensor?• It is very likely
• It will however require back-end systems changes
• It will require a more automated environment
• But this level of data will be unsurpassed:– even when the connected vehicle comes into effect.
• It will truly enable active management and therefore also open up the opportunity of:– Integrated Corridor Management (ICM)
– Smart Transportation
– Smart City
– Active Traffic Management
