US live video supplier 1964 TrafficLand has installed its TLX video aggregation technology at the Santa Clara County Roads Department (SCCRD) traffic management centre in Silicon Valley.

The technology allows the TrafficLand to host SCCRD’s website for commuters and expand access to real-time video from its road-side camera network to multiple stakeholders in the region, including broadcasters and public safety agencies.  It also enables SCCRD to distribute streaming video to media and provide commuters and others with fast-updating camera images.

Under the agreement with SCCRD, TrafficLand is able to offer the traffic camera video in the services it markets to public safety, media and other commercial clients, as well as provide it for free on its public website.

“We are pleased to add Santa Clara County traffic cameras to our growing network across California,” said Lawrence Nelson, CEO of TrafficLand.   “Providing real-time video from these cameras will be a valuable resource for commuters in the Bay Area, and for the first time, will be available to media for use in their traffic and weather reporting.”

"This project is a great example of public private partnership, allowing us to share video images from our intersection traffic cameras, while relieving the taxpayer of the need to pay for additional video hosting infrastructure and maintenance,” said Dan Collen, deputy director for County of Santa Clara, Roads and Airports Department, Infrastructure Development Division.  “The images complement and can be used to confirm the congestion map we also have on our website."
