Lagos Traffic Radio Set To Unveil ‘Live Camera Update’ Project

Posted on October 19, 2023

Lagos Traffic Radio, 96.1 FM, a foremost Traffic Radio in Africa, is set to unveil a new initiative tagged “Live Camera Update” (LCU) project. This is part of the Station’s vision and determination to ensure accurate traffic information and travel advisories to millions of residents in Lagos.

According to a statement signed by the General Manager of Traffic Radio, Tayo Akanle, the LCU project would boost traffic reportage and updates including travel advisories by providing real-time traffic information for the motoring public and commuters within and outside the State.

The General Manager further stated that the initiative is in line with current realities and dynamism of a society like ours of which the deployment of new technology and innovations are components that will not only make the station more relevant but also serve its purpose.

He said that the latency of traffic updates for instance, delays in getting updates to commuters and the motoring public, the ever-dynamic traffic situation around the metropolis and inaccurate description of traffic situation by Traffic Managers and other Stakeholders were major challenges which this technology-based innovative solution would resolve.

According to him, “The project which is in partnership with the State’s Ministry of Innovation, Science and Technology was achieved through the Live Feeds from the Lagos Smart City Project, which includes the CCTV cameras installed on different roads in Lagos. It allows access to these feeds directly from the studios while translating them into real-time traffic information for commuters and motorists in Lagos and beyond”.

The process of connection, he further stated, entails an initial site survey, laying of fibre cables to connect the Station’s studios, termination and configuration of connection to the Data Centre, software installation and testing, and staff training among others.
