Advanced Video Analytics

IAM will explore the most efficient, safe and reliable approach to extract and analyze data from traffic cameras. IAM will demonstrate how to extract the valuable data captured by the cameras and show how it can be used to inform Situational Awareness Capabilities and the Infrastructure as a Service concept.

Statewide Camera Network

The Arizona Department of Safety’s statewide camera network includes freeways, highways and state routes across Arizona, all feeding into a central traffic operations center. IAM is researching how to automate the monitoring of this system to improve traffic safety. In order to accomplish that efficiency, IAM will identify how to process video streams to collect critical traffic data such as traffic flow, crashes, debris and more.
