Detect and track vulnerable road users on a highway or in a tunnel using 360° long-range radar.
Navtech's Intelligent Transport System (ITS) solution alerts operators in seconds so they can set warning signs and deploy help faster.
Pedestrian detection is the detection of vulnerable road users on a motorway, bridge or in a tunnel.
With fast-flowing traffic pedestrians on a roadway are vulnerable. Traditionally road operators monitor hundreds of camera feeds and are usually only alerted to vulnerable road users by the public, police or highway patrol after some minutes.
The use of ITS technology to automatically detect pedestrians improves road safety. It means operators can set warning signs and deploy help faster reducing the chances of an accident.
Pedestrians at the roadside or on the carriageway following an incident, or for some other reason, are harder for drivers to see in poor visibility such as in heavy rain, fog, darkness, or glare. It is in these conditions that other technologies start to fail, and radar continues to work at the most critical times.
In a harsh tunnel environment, radar performance is uninterrupted when covered by dust or dirt. In the event of a tunnel fire, radar continues to work through smoke and hot gases, providing accurate pedestrian detection to inform the tactical response taken by emergency services.
Navtech’s pedestrian detection system automatically detects pedestrians on a motorway, bridge or in a tunnel in seconds.
It enables operators to set warning signs, close lanes and deploy response teams faster than waiting for the incident to be called in by the public. Exact location data and live tracking of pedestrians mean operators can give accurate information to first responders.
Our 360° long-range radar mean the entire roadway, bridge or tunnel can be monitored 24/7 with fewer sensors. Pedestrian detection is one capability of our comprehensive automatic incident detection solution which includes stopped vehicle, wrong-way driver and debris detection, to name a few. The same system also provides actionable traffic data such as vehicle count and classification.
We space radar closer together where pedestrian detection is required
Specific detection zones can be set up within the system to alert for pedestrians
The system will retain the incident data for post-event analysis
Automatic incident detection applications and traffic data from the same system
Navtech’s radar-based system works reliably in bad weather and poor visibility across long stretches of highway delivering comprehensive, reliable automatic incident detection.
Effective in all tunnel lighting conditions, including at portals where accidents are more likely, it improves safety when you need it most.
