• Abstract:
  Closed circuit television (CCTV) has been used for surveillance of traffic and transportation facilities for many years. However, the number of operating systems is few because their effectiveness as a long-term surveillance system has been suspect due to the inclusion of human observers in the surveillance loop. The use of CCTV for short intensive observations necessary to research and traffic studies has been successful. The accelerating development of area wide traffic surveillance, control, and communications systems for urban areas will increase the interest in the use of CCTV as part of the surveillance system. There are four operating CCTV systems in Texas that are used for traffic surveillance. Each system has different design and operating characteristics.
