The Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, through the Coordination of Intelligent Transport Systems (SIT - UOCT), the Undersecretary of Telecommunications and the company Entel, developed a pilot of automatic traffic monitoring, using 5G wireless connection and Artificial Intelligence in the use of its Monitoring Cameras, used by the Operational Unit of Traffic Control (UOCT).
The test showed a solution that united three technologies: the new 5G experimental network, Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing. Among its objectives, the pilot project seeks to analyze in real time the formation of vehicle queues at intersections, traffic incidents, blockage of lanes and crossings, congestion, number of bicycles and pedestrians, in the first 5G Experimental Zone in Latin America.
In this way, and through the potential of the 5G network, the UOCT will be able to improve its efficiency in planning, control and operational decision making in traffic and mobility management, detect incidents, coordinate traffic lights, count vehicle flow, among other functions. In addition to establishing a technical framework for the current traffic control camera system to move towards an automated traffic monitoring model.
The cameras enabled with Edge Computing OVA (video analytics) -a solution that also has a face and patent anonymization module in order to safeguard privacy and personal data protection requirements- are wirelessly connected via 5G technology.
Given the technical performance in quality of service in data transmission and to the flexibility of ubiquity offered by wireless technologies such as 5G will allow to evolve and facilitate the installation and operation of monitoring, detection and actuation systems that are of high demands for data networks.
“Traffic management is key to the mobility of people in cities and the implementation of technological solutions that will help us make travel more efficiently, shortening travel times and facilitating the movement of pedestrians and users of cycles (bicycles, scooters, among others). In addition, through the deployment of the 5G network, we will be able to enable and interconnect traffic control cameras and traffic lights wirelessly, in less time than at present", said the Minister of Transport and Telecommunications, Gloria Hutt.
The Undersecretary of Telecommunications, Pamela Gidi, indicated that “not only transportation will see these changes, but also other daily aspects of the cities will be modified, evolving towards a Smartcities model. For example, luminaires may be coordinated and remotely managed through the 5G network, allowing better energy efficiency and reducing response times to failures, since they can be monitored online. Also, 5G technology will facilitate a massive deployment of sensors that will allow real-time monitoring of different services such as transportation, public safety, cleaning, among others, improving the quality of life of our citizens”.
In addition, said the Undersecretary of Transportation, José Luis Domínguez, “through the use of this technology we will be able to enable and interconnect traffic control cameras and traffic lights wirelessly, in less time than at present, which will allow a more efficient management of the cities’ transportation network”..
Entel’s Manager of Regulation and Corporate Affairs, Manuel Araya, said that “this is a concrete demonstration of the impact of this technology on people’s daily lives and an advance towards what we understand as intelligent cities at the service of people. We are therefore very pleased to contribute technological capital, promoted by our digital unit, Entel Ocean, for the development of the country”.
The main characteristics of 5G are its higher speed, low latency and ability to interconnect devices, enabling them to send data over the Internet quickly and securely, enhancing the implementation of use cases such as Artificial Intelligence and data analytics, among others.
