Automatic incident video detection: the standard ITS technology today for traffic and tunnel safety

This paper discusses the wide range of capabilities and some of the limitations of video image processing for incident detection as Traficon has experienced it over the past 20 years. It also explains what video detection, as ITS technology, will bring in the next decade. Detailed case studies of AID systems in the tunnels of Slovenia, Switzerland etc. serve as an illustration of these features.
