Why Autoscope Detection?

The combination of rapidly growing global transportation needs and limited available resources to upgrade existing roadway infrastructure can create significant challenges for transportation agencies to maintain roadway mobility and safety for the driving public. As a result, many agencies are turning to ITS to address and better manage the complexities of transportation dynamics. Recognizing the critical need for a simple, reliable and cost-effective digital, video-based detection solution at all intersections, Econolite and Image Sensing Systems pioneered Autoscope video detection - an important first step in any ITS program.

Since its introduction in 1992, Autoscope has leveraged state-of-the-art video image processing and broadband communications to provide new levels of traffic management and signal actuation. An ideal solution for junction or intersection control, Autoscope captures and analyzes video images, providing real-time traffic polling and data collection, as well as streaming video. Combining Terra Technology's data processing power and web-based communications with DCMS.2, agencies have the real-time capability to monitor travel conditions wherever Autoscope is installed (intersections, corridors, freeways, bridge, toll lanes, etc.). Leveraging the automated traffic data collection and distribution of each installed Autoscope, true center-to-center communications and data management can be achieved - the foundation of an ITS program.

In addition to its role as a gateway solution to enabling ITS programs, Autoscope is also ideally suited for incident management in all types of roadway conditions and configurations, including construction and safety zones. Through its broadband capabilities and direct integration into an IP-based communications network, video and data can be transmitted virtually anywhere.

Today, more than 90,000 Autoscope units have been deployed worldwide. Since its introduction, Autoscope has demonstrated proven benefits in providing the critical information required for today's highly-networked ITS programs, and is recognized as the world leading wide-area traffic video detection solution.
