FLIR, world leader in the design and manufacture of thermal imaging cameras and sensors, will use ITS World Congress 2024 to unveil a groundbreaking advance that has the capability to transform inter-urban traffic flow and road safety in smart cities. ITS World Congress is the planet’s leading smart mobility event, providing a fitting launchpad for the company’s latest innovation, which is set to make automatic incident detection and traffic data collection more reliable and intelligent than ever before.
Hosted in the United Arab Emirates for the first time, the 30th edition of ITS World Congress (Dubai World Trade Centre, 16-20 September) is aiming to shape the future of transportation towards greater efficiency, sustainability and connectivity. Leveraging the advantages of innovative technology is a central pillar of the smart city proposition, which is why FLIR will show those visiting stand H7-B14 how its brand-new thermal imaging camera provides a next-level solution for keeping vehicles, pedestrians and public transport moving safely and effectively.
Traffic incidents on inter-urban routes can be extremely dangerous and bring major roadways to a standstill. Teams heading up traffic management need immediate, accurate traffic data to alert first responders, save lives and get vehicles moving again. At ITS World Congress 2024, FLIR will shine the spotlight on its latest thermal camera breakthrough, showcasing why it is more powerful, efficient and competent than alternative market solutions.
The unveiling is extremely timely as smart cities around the world are currently assessing a variety of technologies that monitor and respond to traffic conditions in real time. Those prepared to invest in the future by implementing the latest advances in thermal imaging cameras will enjoy benefits that include reduced congestion, improved safety and lower environmental impact of transportation.
FLIR has a long and successful history in thermal camera solutions for ITS (intelligent Intelligent transportation systems), which deliver superior image accuracy and reliability in traffic monitoring applications. Nothing goes unseen: thermal imaging sensors can monitor vehicles in a wider variety of conditions than traditional visible-light sensors. By detecting the heat of all objects, FLIR cameras operate in broad daylight or total darkness, poor weather and even light fog, making a great solution for automatic incident detection (AID).
As visitors to the FLIR booth will discover, this premise is taking a major step forward in terms of both intelligence and AID. Do not miss the opportunity to discover the future of smart city traffic management. Elsewhere on the stand, the company will also showcase a number of other urban and inter-urban thermal camera traffic solutions, as well as traffic management software. A friendly team of FLIR experts will be present throughout the exhibition to discuss the optimal solutions for existing or future smart city projects.
