  • Page 59: Reducing Latency In Cameras

    Reducing Latency In many traffic control scenarios, low latency is critical to ensure that traffic events are communicated to the controller as quickly as possible. Achieving minimal latency requires optimizing multiple factors while balancing tradeoffs. This chapter outlines key areas where reducing latency is possible.

  • Page 60: Reducing Processing Latency In Trafficxroads

    Reducing Processing Latency in TrafficXRoads The FLOW framework allows configurable settings to significantly reduce processing latency. Key parameters include: Trajectory Smoothing Parameter Trajectory smoothing (configurable under Analytics settings) allows you to define the predictive filtering time window to refine trajectories. This defines the tracker buffer size in milliseconds.
  • Page 61 Computation Tick Interval This parameter determines how often the FLOW engine evaluates trajectories and generates results. Lower intervals reduce reaction time but increase the processing load. Recommendations: ● Default. ● Traffic control tasks for faster system response. Processing Latencies - Diagnostics The Processing Latencies section provides an overview of latency metrics for the TrafficXRoads unit, accessible on the page.
  • Page 62 : Should be 20% shorter than the minimum detection FPS for the scene type. Includes the tracker’s configurable time buffer. : Must be at least 50% shorter than the computational tick interval. If not, reduce the number of analytics or data outputs to prevent system overload.

  • Page 63: Achievable Latencies

    Achievable Latencies With optimized settings, overall system latency can be reduced to ~200–350 ms: ● : ~50–150 ms. ● : <10 ms (local network). ● : ~100 ms. ● : <1 ms (UDP, local network). Lower latencies, as low as 50 ms, are possible with industrial cameras. Contact us for guidance on implementing ultra-low-latency solutions.
