Traffic Monitoring Video Software for Smart Cities & ATMS Infrastructure
Video Infrastructure for Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS)
Departments of Transportation (DOTs) rely on large camera networks to monitor traffic and respond to incidents. Most of those networks were built over many years, resulting in a mix of devices, formats, and vendors.
Wowza provides the streaming media infrastructure that powers Advanced Traffic Management Systems. We help developers and transportation teams ingest video from existing cameras, convert it into consistent, secure streams, and deliver it reliably into ATMS platforms and public systems, without replacing field hardware.
The Media Backbone for ATMS and Traffic Operations
Connect & Ingest
Modernize existing camera networks without replacing hardware.
Many DOTs operate long-standing roadway camera networks that include both modern and legacy traffic monitoring software. Wowza ingests and standardizes heterogeneous video streams into consistent internal formats, bridging protocols without requiring rip-and-replace upgrades.
- Fixed roadway and intersection cameras
- Transit and corridor cameras
- Road weather and tolling cameras
- Drones and mobile units
- RTSP, RTMP/S, MPEG-TS, SRT, WebRTC, UDP
Standardize legacy and modern infrastructure into a unified ATMS-ready video layer.
Process & Secure
Normalize and secure video for ATMS workflows
Modern ATMS environments require reliable, real-time ingestion from thousands of field devices – some of which may transmit over older protocols. Wowza can act as the normalization and security boundary immediately after capture.
- Protocol conversion and bitrate normalization
- Secure internal redistribution of streams
- Recording and clipping where required
- Metadata hooks for analytics, object detection, and ATSPM integration
- API-driven automation for large camera fleets
Enable phased modernization while preserving existing field investments.
Deliver at Scale
Support Traffic Management Centers, edge nodes, and public systems
Traffic video must simultaneously support internal operations and public-facing systems. Wowza enables efficient, scalable delivery across multiple endpoints.
- Low-latency delivery for incident verification
- HLS, LL-HLS, WebRTC, and DASH outputs
- Regional origin clusters to shorten network paths
- Cache-friendly architecture to reduce duplicate backbone traffic
- Predictable performance across high stream counts
Designed for sustained, high-volume ATMS deployments.

Built for Scalable, Efficient ATMS Video Infrastructure
Modernizing ATMS Infrastructure Without Replacing Cameras
Transportation agencies often need to upgrade performance, security, and automation without destabilizing existing camera investments.
Wowza functions as the media normalization and distribution layer between field capture and ATMS application logic.
