Video Incident
Detection System

Every incident, seen in under two seconds

Monitors roads around the clock and alerts your team when something goes wrong: accidents, stalled vehicles, smoke, wrong-way driving, or hazards on the road. Built to help teams respond faster and prevent secondary incidents.

What it detects

Eight ways a highway goes wrong.

Each one is detected on the camera itself, so an alert still reaches the control room when the network does not.

Stopped vehicle detection
01

Stopped vehicle

Stalled vehicle on the carriageway or shoulder, flagged in five seconds.

Wrong-way driving detection
02

Wrong-way driving

Vehicle travelling against the flow on a divided highway.

Accident detection
03

Accident

Collision from sudden stops or abnormal positions, escalated immediately.

Fallen object detection
04

Fallen object

Debris or obstruction in a live lane, flagged before impact.

Fire and smoke detection
05

Fire and smoke

Vehicle fire or smoke on the corridor, detected visually.

Slow-moving vehicle detection
06

Slow-moving vehicle

Traffic far below corridor norm, the first sign of congestion.

Pedestrian or animal detection
07

Pedestrian or animal

People or livestock crossing a high-speed carriageway.

Camera tampering detection
08

Camera tampering

Obstruction, defocus or repositioning of the camera unit.

Why on-device matters

The alert cannot wait for the network.

Edge

Works offline

Detection runs on the unit itself. A dropped link delays reporting, it does not stop detection.

Evidence

Image and Video

Every alert carries an evidence image and a short clip, so an operator can verify in one glance.

Focus

Region of interest

Zones are configured per camera, so a service road or field beyond the fence never triggers an alert.

Weather

Poor visibility

Fog, heavy rain and low light are detected as conditions in their own right, not treated as failures.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is VIDS?

VIDS is an AI-powered system that detects traffic incidents in real time using video analytics. It is built to NHAI's 2023 policy and designed to trigger immediate alerts to control rooms when dangerous situations occur on the road.

What incidents does it detect?

Fallen objects on the road, accidents, fire and smoke, poor visibility (fog, heavy rain), stalled vehicles, slow-moving vehicles, wrong-direction driving, pedestrian and animal crossings, and camera tampering.

How fast does it detect incidents?

Incidents are detected within seconds of occurring. Alerts with evidence images and video clips are pushed to the EdgeTrack dashboard, and optionally via SMS and email to control room operators.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. All AI processing happens on the Local Processing Unit at the gantry site. Incidents are detected, logged, and stored locally. Data syncs to the central server when connectivity is available.

How many cameras can one LPU support?

Each VIDS LPU supports up to 3 cameras, enabling multi-lane coverage from a single processing unit.

Can it distinguish between a stalled vehicle and a parked vehicle?

Yes. The AI model uses duration, location (lane vs shoulder), and movement patterns to distinguish between stalled vehicles requiring alerts and legitimately stopped vehicles on the shoulder.

Does it generate video evidence?

Yes. Each detected incident produces both an evidence image (snapshot) and a short evidence video clip for detailed analysis. Both are logged with timestamp, location, and incident type.

Is it compliant with NHAI standards?

Yes. VIDS is built to the NHAI 2023 VIDES circular, the 2021 circular, and the 2016 circular. It meets all functional and technical requirements specified for video-based incident detection on national highways.
