Case Study: Region of Waterloo improves road incident response with Miovision Technologies

Using Real-time Data to Manage Road Incidents in the Region of Waterloo

The Region of Waterloo needed a modern, efficient way for its small traffic operations team to monitor and manage a growing, complex transportation network with more than 500 traffic signals. Miovision Technologies provided Miovision TrafficLink, helping the Region automatically detect road incidents, assess them remotely, and improve response across its expanding infrastructure.

With Miovision Technologies’ TrafficLink and SmartView 360 camera views, the Region of Waterloo received immediate alerts, real-time performance data, and video verification of incidents. In one June 2016 collision, the system flagged the problem within minutes through travel-time spikes and volume drops, allowing engineers to respond quickly and dispatch resources right away, instead of waiting for citizen complaints.
