Introduction

Citilog SmartTraffic - A ID is a vide o detection applic ation suppo rting the full
range of road traffic incident detections (stop vehicle, wrong -way, slow vehicle,
co ngestion, debris, pedestrians, smoke) as well as traffic data collection
(classified flow, speed, occupancy). The SmartTraffic -AID is the most complete

ap plicati on for traffi c management on freeways, bridges, tunnels… . Upon

detection, the appl ication creates an alarm and a video clip of the event , thus

SmartTraffic-i for stopped vehicle detection and SmartTraffic-ww f or wrong­way detection.
