Traffic Incident Management > Surveillance & Detection
A variety of surveillance and detection technologies can help detect incidents quickly, including inductive loop or acoustic roadway detectors, and camera systems providing frequent still images or full-motion video. Information from wireless enhances 911 systems, mayday, and automated collision notification systems, as well as roadside call boxes can also help incident management system personnel identify incidents quickly.
