Traficon detectors provide standard traffic data (volume, speed, ...) which can be used for statistical purposes.
Automatic incident detection Fast detection of stopped vehicles or wrong-way drivers speeds up intervention and thus saves lives.
Flow monitoring Congestion within and through the large metropolitan areas continues to increase and limit mobility. Accurately monitoring the average flow speed helps to distinguish different levels of service (e.g. fluid, dense, congested, queue). Other applications are queue monitoring during road-works and calculating travel time based on flow information from the VIP detectors.
