Image Sensing removes uncertainty of wrong-way driver detection

First published in Intertraffic Innovation News - May 27, 2020

Drivers travelling the wrong way on a highway pose a serious safety risk. The number of deaths due to wrong-way drivers continues to be a problem around the world. Every single day there is a death caused by a wrong-way driver. This problem needs to be solved because roadway users have the right to be able to travel on the road knowing they will be able to return home safely.

Image Sensing Systems is transforming how wrong-way detection systems are implemented. “No roadway manager should have to question the validity of a wrong-way notification when it is received,” said Seth Anderson, product manager at Image Sensing Systems. “Creating a successful wrong-way system is about more than meeting performance targets, it’s about removing that layer of uncertainty and allowing them to focus on resolving the situation. Our wrong-way alerting systems can help in reducing these risks and remove the uncertainty. This solution provides accurate detection and fast notification to help improve the safety of roadways and helping to give agencies the performance they expect from a wrong-way detection system.”
