Abstract

A traffic control and management system is described equipped with infrared TV cameras (or other functionally equivalent sensors) which efficiently maintain the traffic control and management system even at night and/or in conditions of poor visibility due to fog, smoke, dust etc.
The infrared (IR) sensors also permit anti-theft surveillance and detection of abnormal overheating and/or the beginnings of fire in vehicles in transit and/or on the stretch of road or motorway monitored.
Preferably but not necessarily, the infrared TV cameras are integrated with visual TV cameras.
