FLIR is set to reveal an innovation at ITS World Congress 2024, with the potential to revolutionise inter-urban traffic flow and road safety within smart cities. ITS World Congress, the event for smart mobility, offers the ideal platform for FLIR’s latest development, which promises to enhance the reliability and intelligence of automatic incident detection and traffic data collection.
Taking place for the first time in the United Arab Emirates, the 30th edition of ITS World Congress (Dubai World Trade Centre, 16-20 September) focuses on shaping the future of transportation through increased efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity. Innovation is central to the smart city concept, and visitors to FLIR’s stand will be introduced to the company’s new thermal imaging camera, a state-of-the-art solution designed to improve the safety and movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and public transport.
Traffic incidents on inter-urban roads can be hazardous and cause significant disruptions. Traffic management teams require immediate, precise data to deploy first responders, prevent fatalities, and restore the flow of traffic. FLIR’s latest thermal camera breakthrough, to be showcased at ITS World Congress 2024, highlights how this solution surpasses existing market alternatives in power, efficiency, and capability.
This unveiling comes at a critical time, as smart cities worldwide are evaluating various technologies to monitor and respond to traffic conditions in real time. Cities investing in advanced thermal imaging cameras stand to benefit from reduced congestion, enhanced safety, and a lower environmental impact from transportation.
FLIR has a reputation for providing thermal camera solutions for intelligent transportation systems (ITS), known for their superior image accuracy and reliability in traffic monitoring. Thermal sensors detect the heat emitted by all objects, enabling them to function effectively in a wide range of conditions, including daylight, darkness, adverse weather, and light fog, making them ideal for automatic incident detection (AID).
Visitors to FLIR’s booth will witness a significant leap in both intelligence and AID capabilities, demonstrating the future of smart city traffic management. Additionally, FLIR will present a range of other urban and inter-urban thermal traffic solutions and traffic management software. FLIR’s team of experts will be available throughout the exhibition to discuss the most effective solutions for current and future smart city projects.
