System Automates 24/7 Measurement of Pedestrian Crossing Activity at Intersections
With PedTrax,
“Complete Streets embrace active transportation modes including walking
and cycling, and their management is more effective with a
performance-based approach for street measurements. As cities look at
our streets from the view of everyone who actually uses them, getting an
accurate and comprehensive view of pedestrian activity can be difficult,
costly and time-consuming,” said
Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Intersection Users with Accurate,
Up-to-the-Minute Data
With PedTrax, transportation
professionals and officials can make cities safer for pedestrians with
better-informed decisions based on foot traffic volume, direction and
speed to optimize intersection signal timing, and to inform proactive
improvements to signage and striping, intersection design, overpass
locations, school crossing guard deployment, and even economic
development programs. Automated counting of the number and speed of
pedestrians provides better on-screen reporting in traffic control
centers. PedTrax presents reliable, current data for grant applications
and performance monitoring with documented down-to-the-minute as well as
seasonal trends in pedestrian traffic patterns.
The data and analytics supplied by PedTrax, along with SmartCycle, can inform agencies where roadway operations should be made more pedestrian- or bicycle-friendly, contributing to safer and more livable communities.
Building on Iteris’ Strong History of Innovation for Safer, More
Efficient and Smarter Transportation Systems
The new PedTrax
pedestrian measurement algorithm will be pre-installed on all new
Vantage® detection systems and will be available as a free firmware
upgrade to existing Edge®2 and Vantage Next® systems customers that
employ the latest hardware revisions. This computer vision advancement
is the latest in a series of new intersection camera and processor
updates
