Network Optix’s video infrastructure software, Nx Go, is designed to help departments of transportation and city authorities collate data from all the disparate sources where it resides, including cameras and controllers.
On show at ITS America 2024 in Phoenix, Nx Go allows analytics to drive better decisions around traffic management. The product aggregates and consumes video data from traffic cameras monitoring roadways, intersections and parking spaces, with a view to easing congestion and improving safety. The company is currently involved in a pilot with Georgia DoT across 31,000 cameras of all types. “It’s a more proactive approach to traffic management,” explains Network Optix’s Darren Odom. “Our main purpose is making data available to systems that need it – and to people who need it. It has to be an IP camera. It’s all open-source. Developers love it because they can add anything to it.”
Installation is straightforward, he adds. “It’s lightweight: the media agent can run at the edge at the cabinet level, or in a server at TMC level, or at network operating centres every few miles.”
The firm works with Lidar manufacturers such as Seyond. “Lidar can be combined with image data to produce a clearer picture,” says Odom. “We don’t work with every Lidar yet but we’re working on that.”
