Most traffic management systems today rely on magnetic loop detectors to identify the traffic demand at intersections (stop bars). In addition to loop emulation functionalities to directly replace the magnetic loops, MediaCity opens-up the range of traffic information available at the intersection. This includes traffic management applications that provide information such as average waiting time, queue length, incidents (such as at the center of the intersection), density, etc. MediaCity is a video-based detection solution; through Video Image Processing, it provides real-time information to identify the presence of vehicles in adaptive traffic control system in intersections and optimized the traffic network preference.
n Features
þ It can remote or local configuration directly, and it can integrate into the road site traffic controller.
þ Detect functions: Presence, Stop vehicle, Directional sensitive detection, Congestion threshold.
þ MediaCity provides tools for real-time traffic management under all types of conditions (day, night, rain or sun), including under heavy traffic and congestion.
þ It can also integrate bus and tramway priority by feeding traffic controllers with real time data to adjust traffic lights accordingly.
þ Presence detection feature provides customizable data to traffic controllers about the presence or absence of a vehicle within a specified zone. It detects both moving and stopped vehicles.
n Applications
þ Intersections
þ Ramps
þ Intersection traffic signal control and optimize
