Guidance Report: Camera Phone Proof-of-Concept Project

This guidance report is a compilation of documents created during the Camera Phone Proof-of- Concept (POC) Project. The goal of this effort is to improve incident management and response activities in the event of a traffic incident or other emergency situations that affect traffic operations. The project has two main objectives - first to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercial cellular phones equipped with cameras to capture and deliver traffic incident imagery that is useful to follow-on responders, such as tow companies, HAZMAT remediation services, health departments, or highway repair teams. The second objective is to assess the value of these images to follow-on responders based on improvements in time, safety, and efficiency while responding to and clearing traffic incidents.
