MediaTD
Overview of MediaTD
MediaTD is Citilog's software for Traffic Data Collection, including vehicle counts, vehicles classifications, occupancy, headway and speed. MediaTD provides reliable data for traffic data collection, statistics and planning. MediaTD is an "above ground" detection technology that replaces in-ground inductive loops. The management of urban traffic today is more and more complex as traffic and congestion continue to grow worldwide. It is necessary to have reliable data to measure traffic in real time and to provide good road statistics. MediaTD is the solution. Specialized in traffic data collection, it provides reliable information in order to gather statistics, create road studies and enable management of congestion as well as for future planning.Solutions by MediaTD
MediaTD can count and classify volume into three categories, according to vehicle length. It also provides average speed, occupancy rate figures (that is to say the amount of time a measure zone is occupied by a vehicle) and headway by computing the time between the fronts of two consecutive vehicles.MediaTD Roll-Out
MediaTD is very easy to install and the number of detection zones per camera is only limited by optical constraints in connection with the camera position. Typical roll-out purposes include:- Real time traffic data collection
- Loop emulation applications
- Traffic studies and monitoring
- Level of traffic assessment
- Shadow tolling
Benefits
Citilog's MediaTD offers three main benefits: Mobility, Safety and a Return on Investment. Mobility:With MediaTD, traffic data collection becomes easier. It is operational under every traffic condition and the data gathered is proven important to congestion management. The more reliable the data is the more efficient congestion management is. Road Safety:
With MediaTD, statistics can be used by a Traffic Management Center to plan and provision for different road and infrastructure safety. Digital video clips automatically recorded by the system for each incident are valuable tools to investigate the nature and cause of incidents. Responding adequately to an incident can minimize resource losses and save lives when time is of the essence. Return on Investment:
Above ground detection technology has today become a standard solution to replace in ground inductive loops for Speed-Volume-Occupancy data collection. MediaTD significantly lowers the cost of inductive loops installation and maintenance. MediaTD's Traffic Data and Statistics capabilities also make it good as a basic tool for maintenance provisioning. By providing such a service, MediaTD helps maintain a high level of availability of roads or bridges thus, enhancing the Return on Investment both in operations and in risk escalation reduction. To improve infrastructure Return on Investment, MediaTD can be combined with other Citilog products to design full infrastructure surveillance solutions that improve mobility, security and safety across roadways, bridges and tunnels.
