| Iteris Video Vehicle Detection for Traffic Management Systems |
Iteris applies video detection to a broad range of traffic management applications, including both intersection
control and highway management systems. Our advanced image processing technology is used in our Vantage®
product line to detect vehicle presence, count, speed, occupancy and other traffic data used in traffic management
systems. This gives traffic managers a powerful toolkit for mitigating roadway congestion by modifying traffic signal
timing or detecting incidents quickly.
Vantage video detection cameras are multi-functional, flexible and reliable. They have been deployed by hundreds of
agencies in North America, and in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East. The product is currently sold
through a network of over 20 independent dealers in North America, Asia, Europe, and South America.

Benefits of Video Detection vs. In-Pavement Loops
- Video detection is very flexible in detection zone placement, not fixed like embedded inductive loops
- Inductive loop reliability relies heavily on roadway surface conditions. Surface conditions are impacted by
heavy trucks, extreme temperature extremes and surface maintenance - Video detection is not impacted by roadway resurfacing
- Video detection is cost-effective with initial costs comparable to inductive loops and an overall superior
lifecycle costs - Video detection provides additional benefits to the traffic manager.... the video image for surveillance, incident
verification and security.
Iteris' Abacus™ uses a unique blend of Artificial Intelligence and video detection algorithms to allow either fixed or
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras to be used for data collection and incident detection without the need for virtual or
detection zone configuration. The system tracks all vehicles as they move through camera's field of view (FOV)
regardless of direction, lane straddling or lane weaving. As a result, all information is captured and incidents can
be detected easily by identifying anomalous driving behaviors that would be impossible to detect when using
virtual zones or other fixed types of detection boxes or trip lines.
Abacus takes advantage of the large number of existing installed CCTV video feeds monitoring roadways, tunnels
and bridges and at signalized intersections. When not being actively used for surveillance, these cameras can be
transformed into vigilant sentinels for traffic data collection and incident detection. The flexibility of using nearly
any camera with an appropriate perspective means accurate data collection without the setup and calibration
required with other systems.
Abacus Traffic Data Collection
The traffic data collection capabilities are designed to provide a continuous feed of data similar to other
technologies. In this way, a single camera can act as both surveillance and data collection while monitoring for
incidents. The default reporting period of data collection is 60 seconds and provides the following information in
the form of a universal XML schema. Each camera can collect data from up to two directions of traffic:
Abacus Traffic Incident Detection
The Abacus system is designed to continuously monitor video feeds for incidents. Abacus can act as a digital
video recorder to record incidents or work with existing DVR units to provide notification of an event. These
notifications can be provided by means of e-mail or SMS text message. The types of incidents which can be
detected for immediate notification are as follows:

- Volume (reported in vehicles per minute)
- Speed (reported as the average vehicle speed during the reporting interval)
- Occupancy (reported as a percentage)
- Classification (reported as the number of vehicles for each classification group)

The Abacus system is designed to continuously monitor video feeds for incidents. Abacus can act as a digital
video recorder to record incidents or work with existing DVR units to provide notification of an event. These
notifications can be provided by means of e-mail or SMS text message. The types of incidents which can be
detected for immediate notification are as follows:
- Stopped vehicle detection
- Roadway debris detection
- Wrong way driver detection
- Pedestrian detection
- Slow vehicle detection
- Vehicles traveling off the road
