One of the biggest problems of modern video management and video analytics systems is the task of combining distributed security or business monitoring systems into a single federated architecture that can support hierarchical information flow and scaling. This is a critical capability for cities implementing urban mobility solutions to bring intelligence from different regions into a common control center. This helps the city administrators manage and optimize the mobility situation by applying uniform response processes and orchestrating multiple agencies for an optimal response. The federation capability along with a GIS intelligence feature assists administrators achieve an elevated situational awareness.
