TM01: ATMS01-Infrastructure-Based Traffic Surveillance - SANDAG

Need Area Description

This service package for US Municipalities includes traffic detectors, other surveillance equipment, the supporting field equipment, and fixed–point to fixed–point communications to transmit the collected data back to the Traffic Management Subsystem. The derived data can be used locally such as when traffic detectors are connected directly to a signal control system or remotely (e.g., when a CCTV system sends data back to the Traffic Management Subsystem). The data generated by this service package enables traffic managers to monitor traffic and road conditions, identify and verify incidents, detect faults in indicator operations, and collect census data for traffic strategy development and long range planning. The collected data can also be analyzed and made available to users and the Information Service Provider Subsystem.
