Urban communities are where large numbers of people around the world work, live and play. To meet the transportation demands of persons and vehicles, urban roadways have the ability to reach all parts of the city and connect with roadways to any destination.

But with a high travel frequency, urban roadways are often congested during peak weekday hours. Violations such as running a red light, not following the directional signs, speeding, crossing the gore area, illegal phone use, and seatbelt violations occur frequently. Limited means of monitoring on major sections of urban roadways, fragmented data managed by separate departments, and unintelligent software all contribute to greater safety risks. Meanwhile, law enforcement disputes are caused by manual intervention. But there is a solution.

VF&T’s Urban Roadway Solution provides multi-scene monitoring, unlawful driving supervision, and intelligent software platforms to reduce violations, protect citizens, and keep city roads safe. This solution significantly helps improve traffic flow and elevates safety levels wherever it is implemented.

Intersections

Challenges
Intersections are where vehicles and pedestrians converge, turn and leave. The traffic is very busy. Traffic accidents here are common due to driving violations, causing congestion, personal injury, or property losses. Lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and risks unavoidable.

Busy intersection

Serious accidents can happen in the intersection

Live video at intersections 24/7 captures violations and collects high definition evidence for citations. The cameras can also act as a warning to drivers who violate traffic rules and regulations.

Traffic lanes

Challenges
Speeding vehicles and reckless driving on urban roads can cause serious damage. Lack of violation detection and response is also a primary concern. Meanwhile, traffic authorities lack a mechanism to predict traffic flow, and traffic lanes are often congested on holidays.

Bus lane

Challenges
Granting “Bus priority” is a common approach to resolving urban traffic jams, but drivers of private vehicles often occupy bus parking practices often appear. Lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Urban roadside

Challenges
Roadside space, a public resource in a city, is limited. At present, many countries use parts of urban roadsides as temporary parking areas only for short stays, but illegal vehicles tend to park for extended times. Lack of police force and violation evidence make response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Extended parking on Urban roadside

Lack of police force for Urban roadside

Yellow box junction

Challenges
Yellow box junctions are painted at intersections and critical driving areas. They are often found near institutions such as schools, hospitals, government buildings, etc. Vehicles are prohibited to park in a yellow box junction for extended times, but lack of violation evidence makes response difficult and congestion unavoidable.

Gore area

Challenges
Gore areas are often set at overly wide, irregular, or complex intersections, and their function is to guide drivers to prescribed routes. Vehicles crossing the gore area increase accidents and congestion, seriously affecting road safety. Traffic police simply cannot dispatch officers at every gore area, every day, and therefore lack evidence to respond to violations.

Accident occur more frequently at gore Area

Gore areas lack sufficient monitoring
