New traffic light system / intersection in the city with AI cameras

Map Editors Community Germany Unlocks And Requests

AI cameras for traffic flow have now been installed in our area. The entire intersection is monitored with cameras, and the traffic light system is controlled by AI; cyclists and pedestrians are also monitored.

Among other things, there is also red light enforcement when crossing.

Can this be integrated into the map?

Hi,

what we can do is register it as a red light camera, provided that the camera system does exactly that. Meaning, it records red light violations and provides the footage so that law enforcement can file a report.

At first glance, I see 2 street lamps. And a camera above the priority road sign.
Are there any sources for the red light enforcement?
I don’t think the camera on the priority road sign is capable of penalizing red light violations.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the page is offline — Error 404.
But I was able to find the page in a web archive:

Summary (via ChatGPT):

:newspaper: Article Content

  • Location: Adolf-Kolping-Platz, one of the busiest intersections in Weiden.
  • Goal: Increased safety, especially for pedestrians and cyclists.

:vertical_traffic_light: New Technology

  • The traffic light system was modernized and equipped with AI-based control.
  • A “turning assistant” was installed, which detects when a vehicle is turning right and pedestrians or cyclists are simultaneously in the danger zone.
  • In this case, the turning process is automatically delayed by a longer red light to avoid accidents.

:handshake: Parties Involved

  • The project was implemented by the City of Weiden together with specialist companies.
  • Support was provided by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (funding), among others.

:shield: Safety

  • The city emphasizes that it is about prevention and traffic safety.
  • Particularly vulnerable road users such as cyclists and children should be better protected.

:cross_mark: Important Point

None of the publications mention a red light camera.
It is exclusively about the intelligent control and AI assistance for protection in the intersection area.

Therefore, there is currently no reason to post a warning for a red light camera there.
Nevertheless, thank you very much for your information.

Best, Andy
