(AGENPARL) – gio 17 novembre 2022 Pedestrian safety enhanced at FIFA World Cup 2022 thanks to 700 FLIR traffic sensors
Estimates suggest that around 1 million football fans will visit the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, taking place
from 20 November to 18 December. The presence of vast pedestrian numbers in one of Asia s smallest
countries introduces traffic flow challenges that the Qatari government wanted to address in advance of this
highly prestigious competition. As a result, the country has installed 700 FLIR TrafiOne smart city sensors to
monitor traffic and control crowd flow. These award-winning, all-in-one sensors from Teledyne FLIR take
advantage of Wi-Fi and thermal technologies to ensure traffic runs smoothly, while enhancing pedestrian
safety.
The FLIR TrafiOne identifies pedestrian movement on the pavement and automatically adjusts traffic signal
timing accordingly. It is possible to prioritise signals for pedestrians ahead of vehicle traffic, promoting safer,
more effective pedestrian crossings during this festival of football. Importantly, thermal cameras featuring
video analytics detect and classify pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles even in complete darkness or adverse
weather conditions. As a further benefit, COVID-friendly touch-free sensors eliminate the need for physical
pushbuttons.
TrafiOne also generates high-resolution data for measuring travel times to improve traffic flows, reduce
vehicle idling times, monitor congestion and enhance safety for vulnerable road users. Data collected by
TrafiOne is accessible for further processing by the FLIR ITS-IQ, a cloud-based data analysis solution.

Teledyne FLIR is proud to be part of this critical mission to promote safety during the biggest single-sport
event in the world. The compact and affordable TrafiOne has already received a positive reception from the
Qatari authorities thanks to advantages such as smart technology, programmable detection zones and
touch-free sensors. The ambition is to roll out this dynamic traffic control solution across the country.
