The new wrong-way detection system, based on Flir's Cameleon ITS and TrafiSense video-analytic thermal cameras, is being operated on a 24km corridor in the city of Phoenix on I-17 between I-10 and Loop 101. ADoT has also adopted the wrong-way detection technology as part of its standard ITS cabinet design. The agency says that this is the first such system to go beyond detection; it also automates countermeasures to protect oncoming traffic. The agency says current practices typically rely on drivers calling 911, often with inaccurate location information. Following field tests, ADoT believes that thermal video analytics sensors are the most effective technology for detecting wrong-way drivers, compared to loops, visible-spectrum analytics and radar. |
