LOTraffic© is a sensor system tar- geted at pervasive traffic monitoring and whose magic is performed through a clever combination of software modules.
Advantages:
The software modules can be custom-composed in order to provide a solution that matches the monitoring requirements. Users can start using LOTraffic© for generic measurements of traffic flow and later deploy a more complex behavioural analysis at a later point. The custom-composition of software modules provides unlimited flexibility and lower investment. In fact, once new modules or improved versions of older ones are made available, the end-user can upgrade LOTraffic© for augmented or more reliable functionality.
LOTraffic© capabilities are highly dependent on its placement. The matrix below highlights the software modules that can be installed on LOTraffic©, depending on its placement and which degree of reliability they provide (darker marks are better). Additional application packages that can be built on top of the tracking framework will be made available at a later time. Similarly, the reliability of the application and framework is expected to steadily improve over time. LogObject is committed to provide best-of-breed performance for all of the functions.
Compared to a conventional flow measurement system (inductive-loop wire) or to a velocity measurement system (Doppler radar) LOTraffic© delivers a wealth of information about its surrounding environment. Moreover the quality of the measurements (in its optimal placement) is stunning, while maintaining an unparalleled ease-of-setup and use. The table below illustrates the current degree of reliability of some of the most important data extracted by LOTraffic©. The performance of the application and framework is expected to steadily improve over time.
