Video Analytics Service Platform

该项目与主题5“运营”保持一致，特别关注交通管理。其目的是为英国高速公路运营商提供虚拟咨询助手，实时识别战略道路网络中的问题，并将其标记出来，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；提醒不安全的场景，如高速公路上的行人；并支持新数据集的收集，以改进未来的规划。在此基础上，将建立一个可扩展、可部署的服务平台，以演示在英国战略路网（SRN）现有CCTV资产上使用最先进的视频分析。通过向英格兰高速公路（HE）的区域控制中心（rcc）提供软件工具，我们将提高操作员对交通事故和交通状况的实时态势感知，并启用新的报告工具，以提高对SRN交通流量的了解。Costain和Vivacity实验室将在该项目上进行合作，将Vivacity的尖端人工智能视频分析（VA）技术与Costain在工程技术解决方案方面的专业知识相结合，以适应战略道路网络的苛刻要求。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有效性，重点关注HE运营中心和员工作为视频分析提供的洞察力的关键用户。

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.
