Revolutionising Traffic Management With AI
From surveillance cameras to self-driving cars, it seems like AI-based technology is popping up all over our roads and infrastructure. This is for a good reason as the use of AI-powered cameras over the past few years has significantly helped with a wide range of issues, from the flow of traffic to identifying potholes before they become issues, vastly improving the driving experience.
Traditionally, traffic and road management relied on human-operated cameras and sensors to monitor traffic and adjust as needed. However, with advancements in AI, products such as PolyVision can seamlessly work with any existing camera to employ machine learning to analyse large amounts of data. From this analysis, the software can provide traffic managers with real-time insights, allowing for a more efficient and proactive approach to traffic management.
Additionally, PolyVision's' training process is ongoing, as the system continues to learn and adapt to new data, making it increasingly effective as time progresses.
Traffic Control
One of the most significant advantages of integrating software like PolyVison is its ability to process vast amounts of data quickly and accurately. With the use of Lynkz’s award-winning machine learning algorithms, these cameras can detect and analyse traffic patterns and identify potential congestion points. This real-time analysis allows traffic managers to make informed decisions and adjust traffic signals, lane closures, and other measures to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.
A real-world example of this can be seen in our case study of one of our clients, Matrix Systems, which is currently providing full-service traffic surveying services in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

Monitoring Road Conditions
The use of AI-powered cameras is not limited to solely improving traffic flow, PolyVison can also be programmed to monitor significant changes in road conditions, such as potholes, cracks, and other infrastructure issues. By detecting these issues early, maintenance crews can quickly address them, preventing further damage to the road and improving safety for drivers.
Improved Emergency Response Times
Another significant benefit of this technology is the potential to improve emergency response times on the road. By detecting accidents or other incidents, cameras can alert emergency services and provide real-time information to responders at a moment's notice, allowing them to arrive at the scene faster and with more accurate information.
In conclusion, it is evident that AI-powered traffic cameras, such as PolyVison, are revolutionising traffic management. Their ability to process vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, detect traffic patterns, monitor road conditions, and improve emergency response times makes them an essential tool for traffic managers. With proper implementation and oversight, the use of these cameras is transforming the way we think about traffic management, with a focus on making our roads safer and more efficient for everyone.
