Genetec launched a next-generation software platform called Genetec Traffic Sense. Designed to deliver greater oversight and efficiency for traffic operations, Traffic Sense brings a unified view of traffic systems, taps into emerging technologies such as video and data analytics, and introduces a higher level of automation to speed up resolution of road incidents.
Traffic Sense is designed to seamlessly integrate new and emerging technologies, reducing customers’ total cost of ownership and shortening implementation cycles significantly. Traffic Sense enables traffic centers to adapt and automate responses to current challenges, such as roadworks, new developments and changes in driver behaviors.
Traffic Sense delivers a consolidated, unified view of real-time conditions and vehicle flow to traffic operation centers, border crossing agencies, and transportation departments so they can monitor traffic conditions in real-time and with more detail. From real-time notification of road incidents, to presenting all relevant information in a single interface, and guiding responses through automated workflows, Traffic Sense empowers traffic operations staff to get roads quickly back to normal.
By tapping into a variety of data sources, from roadside sensors to 3rd party probe data for travel-time analytics, Traffic Sense automatically identifies congestion as it builds up. It correlates traffic data with associated video feeds, all displayed within dynamic maps of roadways, giving operators instant and complete awareness of what is happening. Armed with this information, operators can take action through Traffic Sense to bring things back to normal. They are guided in their response through dynamic standard operating procedures, and can update signs along affected roadways right from Traffic Sense, ensuring drivers are well informed at all times.
Traffic Sense also allows organizations to define the resolution procedures that guide their teams in responding to a road situation. Administrators create automated workflows that are triggered based on a situation in progress, which in turn present the appropriate response procedure to operators. They no longer have to guess, and they have everything they need right in front of them. This approach is ultimately more efficient, less error-prone, and ensures operators respond consistently and with less stress.
“Traffic Sense delivers a unified view of real-time conditions and vehicle flow to traffic operation centers, border crossing agencies, and transportation departments, which helps them monitor traffic conditions in real-time and with more detail. Such new technologies are necessary to help authorities deal with the increasing complexity of roads and changing traffic conditions in the GCC. We are confident that Traffic Sense will better equip traffic operations staff with insights and more control over traffic incidents for our customers in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa,” said Firas Jadalla, Regional Director of Sales for Middle East, Turkey and Africa, at Genetec.
