Abstract:

Many freeways and arterials in major cities in Texas are presently equipped with video detection cameras to ; collect data and help in traffic/incident management. In this study, carefully controlled experiments determined ; the throughput and output quality of various communication configurations. Configurations entailed antennas at ; several cost levels and it was determined that the least expensive antennas were adequate only for one-hop ; systems. Via a survey to which 20 districts responded, incidents, volume, and speed were found to be the ; functionalities most in demand for autonomous surveillance systems. Most systems are monitored by human ; operators. An alternative to operator-based video monitoring is video analytics. An autonomous traffic ; monitoring system from a vendor was tested. A demonstration surveillance system was developed and delivered ; to TxDOT.
