Vizzion provides PDC with traffic camera technology for use in their DisasterAWARE platform
Summary
“Vizzion’s traffic camera technology helps PDC and our customers achieve more comprehensive situational awareness for routine monitoring as well as life-saving disaster response operations. This information shapes evacuation plans, public outreach about unsafe areas, and is a vital tool we can’t live without.” PDC uses Vizzion’s XML Web Service to integrate 47,000 traffic cameras from across North America and Europe into their DisasterAWARE platform. Vizzion’s API allows users to retrieve camera data by region, bounding box, route, and other designations, and works as a powerful framework to display images and video streams directly in a variety of applications. As an applied research center managed by the University of Hawaii, we are continuously developing new technologies and best practices to help our many global partners effectively mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. PDC now serves a global audience, helping to increase disaster management capacity and embolden more effective decisions, policies, and actions for a safer world.
