Road Safety Video Analytics (MicroTraffic)

 

What is ROAD SAFETY VIDEO ANALYTICS?

Road safety video analytics is a diagnostic technology that develops precise intersection risk profiles for all movement pairs at an intersection.

Fireseeds North is a user of MicroTraffic road safety video analytics and contributed to the development of MicroTraffic’s core technology. MicroTraffic now operates as a separate company from Fireseeds North. MicroTraffic supplies diagnostic data to all consultants (including Fireseeds North) as well as directly to government agencies.

When Fireseeds North does an in-service road safety review, it integrates surrogate data from MicroTraffic as an optional component for enhanced diagnostics. If the data shows that a rate of high risk conflicts for a particular movement is abnormally high, Fireseeds North can recommend proactive countermeasures to reduce risk before a fatality or serious injury occurs for that configuration.

To request an in-service road safety review using video analytics, or any other project using video analytics, contact craig.milligan@fireseedsnorth.ca.

 
Video Analytics results show the frequency and severity of near-misses by interacting movement pair, along with a time of day breakdown and comparison to benchmark rates for detecting abnormally high risk levels.
