The award was given for the use of a state-of-the-art mobile CCTV unit on the M56, which has a unique built-in detection function for stationary vehicles. The device utilises an AI system, which will enable the CCTV operator to react more quickly to broken down and stranded vehicles in live lanes.
In addition to the device's prime function in detecting stationary vehicles, other benefits of the mobile CCTV unit solution include fast deployment, minimal required space, and no need for infrastructure due to 5G usage.
