Traffic congestion by studying the build-up of traffic at certain lights
- decebalus1 8y agoI call bullshit. Pneumatic road tubes have been around for a while to gather data about traffic flows.
- blackflame7000 8y agoCameras can be at every intersection all the time and can adapt in real-time to emerging traffic patterns (ie a ballgame ending and a stadium of people hitting the road at once) as well as traffic changes over time from environmental changes
- mastox 8y agoWhy can't pneumatic tubes do this?
- Rebelgecko 8y agoOr inductive sensors
- _underfl0w_ 8y ago...which would required correlating what they're seeing with outside data. That's not something /inherent/ to the device. If you're going to correlate datasets, you could just as easily do it with your sports/weather data and pneumatic tube data.
- blackflame7000 8y agoA camera is cheaper and a camera can measure speed as well as slowdowns and stoppages that a tube simply can't do. A tube was the old way but if you're going to make a new device a camera makes more sense.
- radus 8y agoThing is, that really isn't much of a problem in downtown SD where most of these cameras are.
