Video Based Intelligent Transportation Systems – State of the Art and Future Development

Video based sensor systems can play a key role in delivering data for better road planning and traffic management. Smart road technologies will largely depend on data quality and quantity in the future. Video based detection systems, being an indispensable part of intelligent traffic systems (ITS), show huge potentials as they do not only offer a flexible way of data acquisition but are also being developed at a huge pace due to recent evolutions in hardware and software technology. In order to give a better understanding on the methods and potentials of this technology, a structured review is presented which not only includes current applications but also shows future use cases by analyzing the techniques of image processing and extrapolating their results to the future requirements of traffic engineering.
