Metabuild digital twin excels in South Korea

Metabuild's Traffic Digital Twin Platform uses data collected through radar sensors on a roadside, in a tunnel or on a bridge to create a real-time digital twin. Hundreds of these systems have been installed in South Korea. Traffic data is collected using Smart-IDS (Incident Detection System) and Smart-VDS (Vehicle Detection System) to detect incidents such as stopped or reversing vehicles, pedestrian or traffic congestion.

A tracking camera will automatically focus on an incident site and then an emergency video is created so that traffic operators can quickly respond in the best possible way.

With its Edge computing technology, the radar system has advantages of fast data processing but low false alarm rates. Also, the data is collected 24/7 regardless of weather conditions.

Long range radar aids wide area traffic monitoring

Applications of long range radar technology are demonstrating its effectiveness as a first line of defence for highway managers – adding greater resilience and capability to existing systems. Development efforts are bringing long range millimetric wave radar to the fore as a very useful tool for managers of highway networks. Application of radar for wide area monitoring in traffic management remains in its infancy. But recent projects are demonstrating how it can now serve to enhance detection of incidents
