The huge popularity of AID is testament to its high quality. The systems make journeys smoother and safer, while assisting traffic managers in monitoring roads. Although a well-proven technology, the best may be yet to come. Freeway incidents cause injury, traffic congestion, increased environmental pollution, and cost millions of dollars every year in delay and damage. When there is an incident, minimizing the response time - the time from when an incident occurs to the time that emergency crews arrive on the scene - is crucial. A fast response time increases the survival rate of those with serious injuries and minimizes traffic jams and potential secondary incidents. Current video detection systems set the standard in quick detection and are seen today as a necessary tool for intelligent traffic management. Automatic Incident Detection (AID) technology, however, is proving its effectiveness day in, day out, all around the globe.
