Title

Estimate Sectional Travel Speed and Time on Smart Lampposts

Business Needs / Challenges

There are public concerns on using Bluetooth detector as it may touch on personal privacy. Therefore technologies alternative to Bluetooth detectors and cameras will be explored which are privacy-friendly to provide ‘Estimate Sectional Travel Speed and Time’.

Application Areas

City Management

Transport

Expected Outcomes

  • Estimate average vehicular travel time and speed for bypassing vehicles over defined road section.
  • Area of interest (at least 2 traffic lanes) including hardshoulder, marginal strip and in the middle of two traffic lanes.
  • Design for high speed free flow environments and capable of handling not less than 2,000 vehicles per hour in each traffic lane.
  • Delay over junction or varying traffic condition shall be taken into consideration.
  • Alternative technologies other than cameras which are privacy-friendly (i.e. no excessive data collection principle under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the practice of collecting minimum information for the purpose of data collection) should be considered only.
