Traffic AID: automatic incident detection system for urban applications

Specialists in security and analytics systems, Hanwha Techwin and Sprinx Technologies have developed this modular system to help operators maintain smooth traffic in the city.

Hanwha Techwin And Sprinx Technologies combined their experiences and knowledge in security and analytics to develop Wisenet Automatic Incident Detection (AID), an automatic incident detection system, easy to install and accurate for urban applications, especially suitable for local administrations with tight budgets, according to both companies.

Traffic AID allows operators to know the status of traffic immediately in the event of traffic jams or roadblocks. In addition, detects damaged or improperly stopped vehicles on the roadway, in addition to detecting whether a vehicle is driving in the opposite direction, if there's smoke in a tunnel and even if the load of a truck has fallen.

As they point out from the companies responsible for their development, "This system uses intelligent image processing to quickly warn operators of specific traffic incidents and, at the same time, allows you to save statistical data as a classification, vehicle counting and flow".

This system makes it easy for operators to define detection zones and other parameters thanks to its simple interface; analyze statistical data using graphs and charts, in addition to having a record of all events and screenshots of individual incidents.

Traffic AID modules include Pedestrian and stop detection' (Psd), alerting traffic operators when it detects pedestrians and vehicles stopped in a tunnel or shoulder; Traffic Flow, to simultaneously monitor two separate traffic lanes and calculate traffic flow in order to automatically alert for road traffic jams or vehicle hold-ups.

The Traffic Data module allows you to manage short-term traffic and carry out long-term urban center planning, as it provides statistical data on density, average speed and motorcycle flow, Cars, trucks and buses.

For its part, the Traffic Hub server-based application captures data from networked Hanwha Wisenet cameras and, through its interface, provides a quick view of all traffic incidents. The app, available in packages of 4, 16 And 48 Channels, provides graphs on detailed traffic data, such as the number of vehicles and average speed, in a simple way.

Specifically,, from Hanwha point out that their High Definition Wisenet X cameras for Traffic AID have wide dynamic range (Wdr) and motorized varifocal lens for low-light environments and ensure operators can visualize crisp, clear images, day and night. In addition to them are the fixed cameras of 2 Wisenet XNB-6000 and XNB-6005 megapixels, as well as the bullet IR model XNP-6120R, that integrate gyroscopic sensors to provide precise stabilization to compensate for wind and vibrations outdoors.
