As cars crawled through the Wallace tunnel at a very slow pace this Memorial Day weekend, ALDOT employees inside the Mobile Region Traffic Management Center kept their eyes on a floor-to-ceiling Activu-powered video wall displaying nearly 100 camera angles of the road. The center’s manager, David Johnson, said traffic will most likely be at its worst on Monday afternoon as beach-goers return to town for the work week. He said that one of the issues he sees while watching the wall that captures every accident, traffic jam, and broken down vehicle near the tunnel, is when drivers refuse to let emergency vehicles pass them.

An ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road have brought increased challenges, in the form of congestion and incidents, to traffic management centers. Camera feeds, mapping applications, road conditions, weather information systems and other ITS technology create large amounts of visual information 24/7 that operators need in order to monitor and manage traffic flows, quickly resolve traffic incidents, and promptly respond to emergencies. Activu makes organizing, displaying and sharing disparate sources of visual information an intuitive and highly effective activity. Our solution provides users access to the right information, when they need it, where they need it. Wherever the decision maker is located, and whatever device they are using, the information needed for critical decisions is available to them.
