Innovative traffic insight sensors installed to monitor Kent traffic patterns
State of the art traffic sensors are being trialled by Kent County Council (KCC) and Amey to monitor traffic patterns to help make future transport decisions for the county.
In collaboration with Vivacity Labs, 32 insight sensors have been installed at various positions.
These sensors can classify what modes of transport are using the highways at any given time, monitoring the usage and speeds of cars, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. Smart data collected will provide insight into how the transport infrastructure is being used.
Combining real-time data and predictive algorithms enables the highways authority to identify abnormal traffic flows, enable visualisation through virtual CCTV, and predict flows before they happen – ensuring an effective response to data being provided and ultimately a better road user experience.
