ViSense® for Intelligent Traffic Control

Smart cameras and AI video analytics help improve traffic flow and safety and cut emissions

The future of intelligent traffic light control

ViSense® makes traffic lights smarter. Traffic congestion can be eased using dynamic speed restrictions, individual or group prioritizing, and green waves. ViSense® intelligent video analytics and smart camera technologies capture every traffic mode in a scenario, offering a comprehensive dynamic overview of any traffic in intelligent traffic light control (ITLC) zones. The ViSense® system integrates with the ITLC to set real-time triggers for dynamic traffic light management. This optimizes traffic flow and throughput for each individual or group of road users in the zone.

What is ViSense®?

ViSense® provides reliable, real-time traffic statistics. It works with ITLC and is often a supplement to traditional inductive loops. It helps establish real-time traffic situational awareness with one type of sensor for different modes of transportation and multiple driving lanes. ViSense® comprises a light-sensitive camera sensor and a sophisticated analytical unit. Roadside cabinets house the compact, energy-efficient analytical units. The linked analysis unit can be set and deployed remotely through secured access once the cameras are installed. From there, traffic lights may be actuated to prioritize certain vehicles, triggering, for example, green waves based on current data to optimize traffic flow and reduce pollution from traffic emissions.

Precise and reliable traffic statistics in real time. With one compact, energy-efficient video analyzer and smart camera sensor technology.

What you get

High accuracy. ViSense® achieves an average accuracy of over 95%!
A single, easy-to-maintain ViSense® system can monitor up to 4 traffic lanes simultaneously.
Comprehensive anonymized traffic data, including timestamps and classification of each object across 6 data classes, direction of travel, count numbers, speed indications, and GPS coordinates and trajectories of all objects.
Triggers for the ITLC through rulesets, for example, speeding, excessive traffic density, and count rates.
A convenient export feature that allows you to access data in other programs, such as a spreadsheet program, to conduct your own analysis.
With a fully documented open API, your ITLC system, dashboards, and web portals can be easily and reliably connected.
Integration assistance and support to ensure successful integration, configuration, and deployment.
Integration with any urban data access platform or with an ITS application.
A future-proof solution: new transportation modes can be added to the detection and classification schemes.

What it does for you

ViSense® enables analysis of traffic flows on ITLC-managed arterial roads, intersections, and other complex traffic areas.
ViSense® detects and classifies every vehicle, cyclist, and pedestrian, making sure nothing escapes you.
ViSense® provides vital information for dynamic adjustment of speed limits and for progressive signaling schedules such as green waves.
ViSense® provides detailed insights on traffic types, time-to-arrival, approaching bikes and pedestrians, and speeds, among other factors, which enables sophisticated dynamic green light planning. Our specialty is providing you with the most versatile and precise data to optimize ITLC-managed scenarios.
ViSense® makes traffic light control more effective. The timing of red and green lights at each intersection can be intelligently determined based on the total traffic on all adjacent roads. Thus, traffic flow is optimized, and congestion is avoided.
ViSense® virtually connects every traffic participant without relying on third party devices or apps, such as cycling apps.

What ViSense does not do

ViSense® does not breach public privacy! It collects and discloses statistical metadata only.
ViSense® does not sideline conventional ITLC sensors such as inductive loops. The system can operate stand-alone and be complementary to other sensors. ViSense does not require complex or much maintenance. With roadside placement, annoying and dangerous roadblocks for camera installation or maintenance are a thing of the past.
ViSense® does not require in-depth knowledge from you or your organization regarding the technical aspects, such as Intelligent Image Interpretation and Computer Vision. With 15 years of experience in video AI, ViNotion brings that to the table.
Nor does it require time-consuming project management or costly R & D investments from you. Depending on your needs and capacity, ViNotion can take on the entire chain of direction and project management as the general contractor, including managing partnerships with third parties on permits, traffic measures, or data diagnostics.
