Our Technology
Introductions of Method
Our method presents an innovative technological solution to tackle road traffic congestion and improve road safety in Hong Kong. The approach integrates a comprehensive system consisting of hardware and software platforms, with the Traffic Congestion Index (TCI) and Traffic Accident Risk Index (TARI) as its core outputs. These indices offer actionable insights to drivers and road users, enabling them to make informed decisions that enhance safety and reduce congestion.
Key Features of the System
- Incorporates AIoT sensors, such as camera-based and radar-lidar-based sensors using the Mobileye ALL Protocol.
- Collects data on crucial traffic parameters like speed, distance, lane departure, collision warnings, and other safety metrics.
- Provides real-time data input for analysis, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information.
- Utilizes a cloud-based infrastructure to process and analyze data.
- Implements GeoAI algorithms
- Delivers near real-time analysis and visualization for users via intuitive dashboards.
The TCI quantifies the severity of congestion on specific road segments or neighborhoods by analyzing:
- Traffic volume and flow patterns.
- Vehicle speed and historical congestion data.
Benefits:
- Drivers can identify congested areas and select alternative routes, easing congestion and improving travel efficiency.
- Proactive notifications alert drivers to potential road risks or accident-prone hotspots up to one hour in advance, including those caused by weather conditions.
The TARI evaluates the likelihood of traffic accidents on specific road segments or neighborhoods by combining:
- Historical accident records.
- Real-time traffic conditions.
- Environmental factors such as weather and road characteristics.
Benefits:
- Helps drivers anticipate high-risk areas and adopt safer driving behaviors.
- Supports government authorities and stakeholders in identifying accident-prone hotspots for targeted interventions, such as improved road infrastructure and safety measures.
Broader Impact
In the short term, the system enhances road safety by providing actionable information to road users. Over time, it contributes to smarter, more efficient urban mobility by:
- Informing infrastructure planning
- Optimizing resource allocation
- Supporting the broader goals of Hong Kong's Smart Mobility initiatives
This solution represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to create safer, more efficient road networks for the city's residents and visitors.
