Controlling urban traffic with flexible video streaming

The existence of open standards for video encoding and protocols for streaming media transmission over IP networks has led to the proposal of such a system. The work presents an open urban traffic control system based in common/commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) philosophy for hardware and software as well as open source and standardized protocols. The proposed system is a suitable solution in terms of scalability, cost, interoperability and performance for traffic control systems
