• A customizable interface.
• The ability to pull reports for each intersection
by time and date, as well as global reports.
• A dashboard to analyze pattern of dangerous behaviors
including:
– Speed of vehicles and bicycles at an intersection
– Count and turning movement of vehicles correlated with
traffic signal phases
– Count of pedestrians crossing an intersection correlated
with walk/stop phases
– Cyclist movement through an intersection correlated
with traffic signal phases
– Movement of pedestrians outside of designated
crosswalk
