Abstract:

Effective implementation of advanced traffic management strategies depends on timely, reliable, and comprehensive information on traffic conditions. Closed circuit television surveillance of the roadway network is believed to be one of the best mechanisms for providing this information to a traffic operation center. This work supports the application of video surveillance technologies to roadway traffic monitoring. The current state of the art in surveillance camera technology is reviewed. Technical considerations relevant to the selection of video cameras for traffic surveillance applications are summarized. Applicable standards are identified, and evaluation criteria and test procedures are described. A total of 32 commercially available monochrome and color video cameras are evaluated with respect to these criteria. General considerations and specific test results are reported.
