Abstract:The term Video Analytics refers to the capability of analyzing video feeds to determine events that are not based on a single image. A number of commercially available Video Analytics systems are available that are capable of processing video streams from fixed and pan-tilt-zoom traffic cameras and then automatically creating alerts for conditions such as traffic incidents, stopped/slow moving vehicles, wrong-way vehicle movements, wildlife, and debris in real-time. Additionally, data collected by these systems can include traffic volume by lane, speed, vehicle classification, and lane occupancy. The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) partnered with the ENTERPRISE Transportation Pooled Fund Program to conduct a project to research and document the potential for Video Analytics as a tool for traffic operations centers (TOCs) and for traffic data collection. This report summarizes the testing results of several systems in the United States (Iowa, Missouri) and in Ontario, Canada, under real-world environments.
