Save your heart and effort! The United States Internet of things traffic lights can be used to detect traffic and vehicle data

The network lighting in the center of Portland can monitor the traffic and speed of the road.

In three high - risk and busy streets, Portland installed more than 200 traffic sensors in a street lamp, hoping to reduce the number of accidents on the street.

The sensor records the number of vehicles and pedestrians, tracking the speed of the vehicle 24 hours a day. Traffic engineers from the Portland Transportation Bureau will use the data generated by sensors to improve security and optimize urban traffic flow.

Leah Treat, the director of the Bureau of transportation, said, "the streets that are safe to design begin with good data." "before, collecting these data takes a lot of time and manpower. Now through these smart sensors, we can get some real-time data from the street. So our traffic engineers will be smarter, and the people in Portland will be safer. "

The project is carried out by the Portland Transport Bureau and the local Portland General Electric (Portland General Electric), as well as the GE's Current and the telecom giant T & T wireless business department.

It is reported that the project is part of the construction of Portland's smart city, focusing on the use of data and technology to improve the lives of citizens.

The mayor of Portland said, "Portland is in the leading position in this important data," and "we are at the forefront of the adoption of advanced technology, making our cities safer for pedestrians, riders and drivers, making people travel easier, save time and reduce the availability of crash. The pilot is an important step in obtaining and utilizing data to make key decisions. "

These sensors will be connected through the LTE wireless network of T & T.

It is understood that the sensor, produced by Current, is part of the CityIQ smart city technology platform, which also includes application development platforms, connection support, cloud API (Application Programming Interface), and applications provided by Current or its IOT eco system partners.
