Traffic Camera Analytics Emerging Technologies ● Key capability distinguishing innovation: Use of ubiquitous traffic cameras to supplement existing (but much coarser resolution) observing systems to determine fine-scale weather in the roadway environment ● Early Successes: Currently testing Helios platform in several WFOs in the NWS Eastern Region As presented at the 2016 NOAA Emerging Technologies Workshop 9
Traffic Camera Analytics Emerging Technologies ● Anticipated impacts: ○ Integrating a “Weather Intelligence” capability to support NWS Weather Ready Nation and related Decision Support Services activities ○ Effective leveraging of a ready-made capability already developed by the private sector ○ Potential to significantly improve NWS warnings and forecasts for short-term, high impact events that impact roadway environment ○ Economic impacts: transportation sector customers ○ Emergency Management community As presented at the 2016 NOAA Emerging Technologies Workshop 10
