TELEVISION EQUIPMENT FOR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE
THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL ON AN URBAN FREEWAY. THE PURPOSES OF THE PROJECT ARE TO EVALUATE THE USE OF SURVEILLANCE, TRAFFIC CONTROL, AND SENSING EQUIPMENT, TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FREEWAY TRAFFIC FLOW THAT MAY BE DETERMINED AND TREATED BY SUCH EQUIPMENT, TO IMPROVE FREEWAY TRAFFIC OPERATION AND SAFETY BY THESE MEANS, AS WELL AS TO CONDUCT BASIC RESEARCH INTO FREEWAY OPERATIONS BY MAKING USE OF THIS SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT. FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT HAS BECOME POSSIBLE TO ASSEMBLE THE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT REQUIRED TO CARRY ON A PROJECT OF THIS SCOPE. /AUTHOR/
