Why Intelligent Traffic Solutions Matter？
Current Challenges in the
Traffic Industry
As cities grow, urban congestion, safety risks, and emissions are becoming critical challenges. Inadequate infrastructure and monitoring worsen traffic accidents, while rising vehicle use intensifies environmental impact.
Industry Trends and
Statistical Insights
The ITS and smart city markets are rapidly growing as cities invest in advanced technologies. Innovations like AI and ANPR are transforming traffic management by enabling real-time data processing, smarter control, and improved safety.
The Role of Milesight
Intelligent Traffic Cameras
Milesight Intelligent Traffic Cameras use AI and advanced ANPR technology for real-time monitoring, accurate data collection, and smart traffic analysis. They enhance safety by detecting violations instantly and support greener cities by reducing congestion and emissions with energy-efficient designs.
Different Types of Traffic Monitoring Cameras
Automatic Enforcement Cameras
Speed Camera
Speed cameras are essential for enforcing speed limits, with two main types: fixed cameras, which provide constant monitoring in high-risk areas, and mobile cameras, which offer flexible, temporary enforcement in various locations. Both play key roles in improving road safety in urban and suburban areas.
Red Light Cameras
Red light cameras are automated systems that detect and capture vehicles running red lights, providing clear evidence for enforcement. Typically installed at busy intersections, they help reduce accidents and discourage dangerous driving behaviors, especially in high-traffic urban areas.
Non-enforcement Cameras
ANPR Cameras
ANPR(Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras automatically detect and read vehicle license plates using advanced image processing and OCR(Optical Character Recognition). Commonly used in enforcement, tolling, and smart city systems, they offer high accuracy even with fast-moving vehicles and under varied lighting or weather conditions.
Traffic Sensor Camera
Traffic sensor cameras are non-enforcement tools used to monitor real-time traffic conditions at intersections and along roads. Mounted on poles, they detect vehicle presence and traffic flow to support adaptive signal control, helping reduce congestion and improve road efficiency.
