This project is aimed at delivering timely, accurate, detailed and above all real-time traffic information to the motoring public and commuters within and outside the State.

The Governor was represented by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi.

How Will This Work?

Traffic surveillance cameras work by using a combination of image capture and video recording technologies.

These cameras are strategically placed at various locations on roads and highways to monitor and record traffic conditions in real-time.

Image capture technology involves the use of high-resolution cameras that capture still images of the traffic scene.

These cameras are equipped with lenses that can zoom in and out to capture clear images of vehicles, license plates, and other relevant details.

The cameras are often equipped with infrared sensors to ensure visibility in low-light conditions.

Video recording technology is also employed to capture continuous footage of the traffic flow.

This involves the use of cameras that record video at a specific frame rate, typically 30 frames per second.

The recorded video can be stored locally on the camera or transmitted to a central monitoring station for further analysis.

In recent years, there have been advancements in traffic surveillance camera technology.

For example, some cameras now have built-in artificial intelligence capabilities that can automatically detect and track vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects of interest.

This allows for more efficient monitoring and analysis of traffic patterns.

Furthermore, some cameras are equipped with advanced analytics software that can detect and alert authorities to specific events, such as accidents, traffic congestion, or suspicious activities.

This helps in improving response times and overall traffic management.

Overall, traffic surveillance cameras play a crucial role in monitoring and managing traffic conditions.

They provide valuable data for traffic engineers, law enforcement agencies, and city planners to make informed decisions and improve the efficiency and safety of road networks.
