Hikvision’s innovative technologies includes the use of multi-dimensional perception technologies, such as visible light, infrared, radar, and sonar, which expand the boundaries of traffic system perception. Further enhancing these capabilities, Hikvision integrates AI to enable comprehensive perception, embedding advanced algorithms in cameras for real-time event detection and violation monitoring.

Enhancing traffic violation management

Hikvision will spotlight its AIoT-enabled solutions, which combine advanced AI with IoT devices to streamline traffic violation management.
 
“Hikvision's AIoT technology enhances traffic violation management by integrating advanced AI capabilities with IoT devices, thereby significantly improving efficiency and effectiveness,” explains Peter Sun, Director of Hikvision Dubai R&D Center. “The AIoT system operates through AI-driven cameras, automatically detecting various violations such as speeding, running red lights, and illegal parking.”
 
A standout feature of this technology is its integrated evidence chain, which compiles detailed violation information, including video footage and license plate information, into a comprehensive package for law enforcement. By automating evidence collection and processing, the system aims to reduce human error while enhancing the transparency and efficiency of traffic enforcement.

Optimizing traffic flow with radar-video fusion technology

Hikvision will also showcase its radar-video fusion technology, which seamlessly combines the precision of radar with the clarity of high-definition video for exceptional incident detection and all-weather visibility. This innovative system minimizes false alarms at comparable distances to standalone video cameras and achieves over 95% accuracy in tracking vehicle trajectories, helping to optimize traffic flow, improve traffic efficiency, and reduce emissions.  

Crucial to intelligent traffic signal control, the technology analyzes real-time traffic data to dynamically adjust signal timings, reducing vehicle idling and improving road efficiency. By leveraging AIoT technology to monitor traffic flow, vehicle speed, and incidents — and integrating this with signal control systems — Hikvision’s solution enables “green wave” passage. The green wave solution has been successfully implemented in Zhoushan, China, where, over a stretch of 21 kilometers and 34 intersections, travel times were reduced by 50%. This optimization helps alleviate congestion and cut fuel consumption, contributing to efforts to reduce the environmental impact of urban transportation.
 
“This multi-perception fusion allows for intelligent traffic signal control, where the system can dynamically adjust signal timings based on real-time traffic flow analysis,” Sun said. “Such adjustments reduce vehicle idling time at intersections, thereby alleviating congestion and minimizing fuel consumption and emissions. Additionally, the technology’s ability to analyze vehicle behavior—such as lane changes and acceleration—enables proactive management of potential congestion or accident risks.”

Advancing road safety with AI-powered traffic analytics 

In road safety, Hikvision’s AI technology is designed to accelerate the detection and response to incidents. The system leverages real-time video monitoring and deep learning algorithms to identify issues and concerns.
 
“Hikvision’s AI technology significantly enhances road safety by enabling faster detection and response to road incidents,” Sun said. “The system uses real-time video monitoring combined with deep learning algorithms to automatically detect anomalies such as accidents, vehicle breakdowns, or road obstructions. This rapid detection capability allows for immediate alert generation, ensuring a swift response from traffic management centers or emergency services.”
 
At ITS World Congress 2024, Hikvision will highlight advancements in its system’s ability to classify incidents by severity, allowing for more efficient resource allocation. The system also incorporates predictive analysis to identify high-risk areas, enabling preventive measures to reduce incident likelihood. These innovations are designed to enhance road safety through faster responses and proactive risk management.
