Every day, highways around the world get drivers and passengers to their destinations at high speeds. As a small part of the overall road system, they carry huge numbers of vehicles – and those numbers are always increasing. However, the amount of vehicles on the road is increasing faster than the safety and supervision of those highways.

Highways are often congested during holidays, and violations such as speeding, crossing the gore area, emergency lane occupancy, illegal phone use, and seatbelt violations occur frequently. Limited means of monitoring on major sections of highways, fragmented data managed by separate departments, and unintelligent software all contribute to greater safety risks. Meanwhile, law enforcement disputes are cause by manual intervention. But there is a solution.

VF&T’s Highway Solution covers all the integrated components of a highway system, keeping traffic flowing and helping people travel safely every day.

Highway toll stations

Challenges
The huge numbers of vehicles entering and exiting highways every day requires stricter supervision and faster processing. The conventional solutions are often lax and inefficient.

Busy highway toll station

Low-efficiency toll station management

Real-time vehicle data capture cameras with an intelligent data processing system improves efficiency for highway toll stations and collects evidence to back trace suspicious incidents.

Vehicle characteristic information detection

BENEFITS

  • Associates vehicle license plate with toll collection system to improve traffic flow and payment process
  • Quickly locks on suspicious vehicles through real-time comparison, controls such vehicles at checkpoints

FEATURES

  • Recognizes license plate, color, type, & brand of vehicles
  • Detects structured data for live comparison and history search
  • Supports third-party software integration to work with local toll collection systems

Highway traffic lanes

Challenges
Speeding vehicles and reckless driving on highways can cause serious damage. Lack of violation detection and slow response times also pose a real concern. Meanwhile, traffic authorities lack a mechanism to predict traffic flow, and highways are often congested on holidays.

Highway traffic congestion

Serious accidents caused by speeding

VF&T Speed Monitoring System calculates vehicle speeds in real time, collecting evidence of speeding for violation deterrence and law enforcement. VF&T Traffic Information Detection System calculates live traffic data and helps traffic police teams make better traffic guidance decisions.

  • Standardizes law enforcement processes

FEATURES

  • Avoids drivers deliberately brake to escape speeding when seeing the fixed speed detection sites effectively
  • Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, speed, vehicle color, make, type. Phone use, seatbelt status and other violations detection

Portable speed measurement

BENEFITS

  • Reduces enforcement disputes caused by manual intervention to enhance efficiency
  • Flexible deployment and flexible law enforcement applications
  • Standardizes law enforcement processes

FEATURES

  • Prevents drivers from escaping speeding detection by deliberately braking when seeing the fixed detection devices
  • Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, speed, vehicle color, make, type
  • Provides temporary traffic enforcement 
  • Covers multiple lanes and large traffic flow
  • Detects speeds with high accuracy

Vehicle feature infromation detection

BENEFITS

  • Regulates driving practices, reduces speeding violations to reduce accidents, and improves main road traffic safety
  • Combines driving practices and vehicle feature information to locate evidence quickly and accelerate incident resolution

FEATURES

  • High accuracy of vehicle feature information detection
  • Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, speed, vehicle color, make, type. Phone use, seatbelt status and other violations detected
  • Automatic vehicle feature detection, capture, and upload
  • Violation information exporting

Traffic data information detection

BENEFITS

  • Forecasts traffic flow and detects congestion in real time, helping management teams make smart decisions to relieve traffic and keep traffic flowing on main roads
  • Delivers road traffic conditions in real time, helps traffic authorities make better traffic guidance decisions, and maintains traffic order quickly

FEATURES

  • Collects traffic data including traffic flow, speed, status, queue, time headway, space headway, number of parked vehicles in an area, average delay, space occupancy, and time occupancy
  • Detects and reports road status as smooth, slow, or congested

Highway ramps

Challenges
Violations such as weaving out of the lanes and parking in highway gore areas happen more frequently near on- and off-ramps, which only increase accidents and congestion. Highway management simply cannot have police officers dispatched at every ramp, every day, and therefore lack evidence to respond to violations.

Illegal lane change happens more frequently near the ramp

Highway ramps lack of effective monitoring

24/7 live video on highway ramps captures violations and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, and to urge drivers to follow rules and regulations.

Crossing gore area detection

BENEFITS

  • Regulates driving behaviors at ramps, reduces ramp violations to reduce the traffic accident ratio, and improves traffic safety
  • Reduces enforcement disputes caused by manual intervention to enhance efficiency
  • Standardizes law enforcement processes

FEATURES

  • Detects cross gore area violations and records the whole violation process at the entrance & exit ramps of highways
  • Abundant vehicle feature data – LPR, vehicle color, make, type

Highway shoulders

Challenges
Where driving on highway shoulders is against rules and regulations, it still happens especially during congestion or auto accidents. It often blocks police vehicles and rescue vehicle for emergency use which leads to more congestion and even personal injuries and economic losses.

Illegal occupancy of the emergency lane blocks the rescue vehicles

24/7 live video captures violation behaviors and collects evidence in high definition for suitable response, warning drivers on the highway shoulders and easing the strain on law enforcement personnel. 

Vehicle feature information detection

BENEFITS

  • Quickly locates vehicles on highway shoulders, warns driver and/or automates citations to keep shoulders clear, making sure emergency vehicles can pass
  • Driving practices and vehicle feature information are combined to locate evidence quickly and accelerate incident resolution

FEATURES

  • Recognizes license plate (LPR accuracy > 98%), vehicle color, type, make
  • Collects structured data for live comparison and history search
  • Creates automated citations for violations on highways

Tunnels

Challenges
Most tunnels are prone to challenging traffic and light conditions, causing higher accident ratios. Traditional monitoring cannot detect incidents and anomalies and thereby miss the best opportunity to minimize dangers such as accidents or unexpected roadblocks.

traffic tunnel

Unclear about the traffic condition in the tunnel

Serious accidents can happen in the tunnel

24/7 all-weather incident detection pushes instant alarms to highway management, helping onsite teams to accurately locate and rapidly resolve safety issues. 

Incident detection

BENEFITS

  • With incident detection devices, highway managers can acknowledge road conditions in real time and handle incidents that could cause accidents, ensuring road safety and efficient traffic flow
  • Driving practices and vehicle feature information are combined to locate evidence quickly and accelerate incident resolution

Highway command centers

Challenges
A highway command center is essential for management, covering daily routines like ticketing and emergency handling. Current third-party systems in command centers lack of a standard platform to manage large numbers of devices and complicated logic processes.

Significant amounts of data transferred to command center

Manual operation of devices and processes is costly and inefficient
