Video Analytics Service Platform

该项目与主题5--“行动”相一致，特别侧重于交通管理。其目的是为英格兰高速公路的运营商提供虚拟咨询助理，实时识别战略公路网中的问题，并标记这些问题，供区域控制中心运营商进一步分析。这将有助于在拥堵蔓延之前缓解拥堵；提醒高速公路上的行人等不安全情景；并支持收集新的数据集，以改进未来规划。支持这一点的将是一个可扩展、可部署的服务平台，以演示如何在英国战略公路网(SRN)的现有闭路电视区域使用最先进的视频分析。通过向英国高速公路区域控制中心提供软件工具，我们将提高运营商对交通事件和情况的实时情景感知，并使新的报告工具能够更好地了解SRN上的交通流量。科斯坦和欢跃实验室将在这个项目上进行合作，将欢跃的尖端人工智能视频分析(VA)技术与科斯坦在工程技术解决方案方面的专业知识结合起来，以适应战略公路网的苛刻性质。该项目将创建一个咨询软件系统，以提高现有RCC人员和流程的效率和效力，重点关注高等教育业务中心和工作人员作为视频分析提供的洞察力的主要用户。

This project aligns with Theme 5 - 'Operations', with a particular focus on Traffic Management. Its purpose is to provide Highways England’s operators with a virtual advisory assistant, identifying issues across the Strategic Road Network in real-time and flagging them for further analysis by Regional Control Centre Operators. This will help to alleviate congestion before it spreads; alert unsafe scenarios such as pedestrians on the highways; and support collection of new datasets to improve future planning. Underpinning this will be a scalable, deployable service platform to demonstrate the use of state-of-the-art video analytics on the existing CCTV estate of the English strategic road network (SRN). By providing software tools to Highways England (HE) Regional Control Centres (RCCs), we will improve both the real-time situational awareness of operators of traffic incidents and conditions, and enable new reporting tools to improve the understanding of traffic flows on the SRN. Costain and Vivacity Labs will collaborate on this project, combining Vivacity's cutting edge Artificial Intelligence video analytics (VA) technologies with Costain's expertise on engineering technology solutions suitable for the demanding nature of the Strategic Road Network. The project will create an advisory software system to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the existing RCC people and processes, focusing on HE Operations Centres and staff as the key users of the insight provided by video analytics.
