Detection and monitoring solutions for traffic and public transportation
applications

Detection and monitoring solutions from FLIR help traffic and public
transportation authorities manage their traffic flows efficiently and ensure
safety. Based on proven technology of more than 20 years, FLIR’s hardware
and software solutions help you monitor motorists and pedestrians in
urban environments, detect incidents on highways and in tunnels, collect
traffic data, and ensure the safety on our public railways.
Urban areas
FLIR’s traffic sensors help you control traffic lights at intersections, so your
urban traffic can flow smoothly. In addition, they help optimize traffic
flows for pedestrians and bicyclists and improve their safety in busy traffic
scenes.

Highways
FLIR detection technology helps avoid incidents and traffic jams on
highways. Early detection of road irregularities enables rescue teams to
intervene fast and avoid secondary accidents.

Tunnels
FLIR’s incident detection solutions help save lives in tunnels and avoid
secondary accidents, by detecting smoke, lost cargo, pedestrians and
many other traffic events very fast.

Railway tracks and platforms
FLIR’s thermal imaging cameras prevent serious accidents and
infrastructure damage by detecting vehicles that have stopped on railway
tracks at level crossings. FLIR’s thermal cameras also detect people on
train/metro/tram tracks and platforms in an early stage, so accidents can
be avoided.

Enhancing safety and efficiency for road traffic and public transportation
Intersection control
FLIR’s video and thermal sensors are a highly reliable
alternative to loops and other detection technologies.
By detecting vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, FLIR’s
sensors enable smart intersection control. FLIR allows you
to improve safety and efficiency today, just like in countless
cities that have already implemented FLIR technology at
their intersections.

Highway monitoring
FLIR’s thermal imaging cameras help keep an eye on our
highways. Because they do not suffer from vulnerability to
low light conditions (nighttime), too much light (sun glare)
or shadows, they offer a true 24/7 solution for highway
operators.
• Monitor traffic 24/7
• See your traffic accurately, day and night
• Enjoy a clear view in all weather conditions

Automatic Incident Detection
Effective incident management depends entirely on
fast incident detection and verification. FLIR’s detection
solutions allow you to detect stopped vehicles, wrongway drivers, queues, slow-moving vehicles, fallen object
or pedestrians in a matter of seconds, so you can prevent
secondary accidents from happening.

Data collection & flow monitoring
FLIR’s cameras and sensors accurately monitor traffic
flows and help you to keep highways safe. FLIR solutions
can efficiently make a distinction between several levels
of service: fluid, dense, congested or stop & go. Other
applications include queue monitoring during road works
and travel time calculation based on flow information.
•

Vehicle detection at railway crossings
FLIR’s thermal imaging cameras can prevent collisions
between trains and obstacles at level crossings by detecting
if a vehicle stops on the tracks and is blocking the passage
for an oncoming train. This way, train or tram operators can
be warned for oncoming danger or warning lights can be
activated.
•
•
•

Detect vehicles on level crossings
Prevent damage to infrastructure
Enhance railway safety

Trackside monitoring
FLIR thermal imaging cameras can detect people on
metro, tram or railway tracks. Whether a person just fell
from the platform or is deliberately walking on the tracks,
FLIR cameras ensure 24/7 detection on tracks or in tunnels
regardless of the surrounding illumination.
•
•
•

Detect people on tracks
Prevent damage to infrastructure

Driver vision enhancement
FLIR’s thermal imaging night vision systems installed
onboard trams allow drivers to see clearly in total darkness
or in bad weather conditions. Compared to traditional
headlights, they offer increased detection of potential
hazards, like pedestrians, cars, animals, on the tracks.
• See obstacles at night or in bad weather
• Detect obstacles from a farther distance
• React faster to emergencies

How video detection works
An installed video or thermal imaging camera sends an input signal to a detection unit. This unit can either be on board of
the camera or integrated into a standard 19-inch rack. When the camera or the video image processing modules are set,
detection zones are superimposed onto the video image.

Detect & analyze
(integrated)

When a vehicle or a pedestrian enters a detection zone, a detection is activated by the system. Dedicated algorithms
generate various types of traffic information: presence and incident-related data, data for statistical processing, and data
for pre- and post-incident analysis.
Traffic data, compressed images and alarms are transmitted to the technical control room. The system can be installed so
that the video image processor triggers a third party system such as a traffic light, electronic traffic sign or any other VMS
panel. When an alarm is generated, the traffic manager in the control room will receive a visual image of the scene, so that
he or she can decide to take appropriate actions.

A video camera is monitoring traffic. Its video signal is used as input for the detection unit.
During set-up of a video detector, detection zones are superimposed onto the video image.
Vehicles, pedestrians or bicyclists crossing the detection zones are detected.

Thermal imaging cameras for traffic applications
Traditionally, CCTV cameras are being used for video monitoring. Although CCTV cameras are reliable tools for video
analysis, they need additional algorithms to overcome the limitations of traditional video cameras. In order to work at
night, light needs to be installed. CCTV cameras can also be blinded by light from the sun. Vehicles or pedestrians that are
moving in shadows are sometimes not detected.
Thermal imaging cameras do not have these issues. A thermal imaging camera creates a crisp image based on subtle
temperature differences. They do not need any light whatsoever. They are also not blinded by direct sunlight.
FLIR's high-performance thermal imaging cameras give you uninterrupted 24-hour detection of vehicles, pedestrians and
cyclist regardless of the amount of light available.
Sun glare
Glare from the sun blinds conventional
video cameras, effectively hiding vehicles,
people, and animals. Thermal cameras ignore this glare, and only respond to the
heat signatures they detect.

Headlights
Headlights are confusing to CCTV cameras.
This causes false and missed calls and
makes accurate observation of highway
traffic at night impossible. Thermal cameras
are immune to headlight glare, so they see
clearly.
See through shadows
Video cameras can miss pedestrians, cyclists, animals, and even cars if they’re in
the shadows. But since thermal cameras
see heat, not light, there are no shadows in
a thermal world.

Long-range night viewing
At night, a highway looks like an indistinct
row of lights to a video camera, making
meaningful data collection and incident
assessment impossible. But thermal cameras see the heat signatures of vehicles
clearly from miles away. They also provide
clear video of the roadsides for awareness
of parked vehicles or other hazards.

FC, PT, D and ITS-Series
Thermal sensors detect heat, rather than
light, and aren’t confused by extreme
lighting conditions, such as bright sun glare
or headlights reflected off wet pavement.
As a result, thermal sensors have fewer false
and missed calls, enable better signal timing,
and lead to more efficient traffic monitoring.
Plus, thermal cameras also detect cyclists,
pedestrians, and animals faster and more
reliably. FLIR’s thermal traffic cameras come
in the compact and flexible FC-Series T, the
high-performance, multi-sensor PT-Series T
