The VIGIL system is an Automatic Incident and Congestion Detection System based on computer vision technology for motorway applications. VIGIL is constituted by two main modules, the Local Sensor Module and the Central System module. The objective of this paper is to describe the VIGIL Central System functions, mainly the alarm filtering and management capabilities, and to present the field trial currently carried out in Madrid within the ARTIS project (Advanced RTI in Spain) supported by the Transport Telematic Programme of the EC.
