Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A system for controlling at least one of a traffic infrastructure device and an actuator of a traffic participant based on enhanced traffic data, the system comprising:
a trigger processor configured to monitor an area, to generate trigger data in case a trigger event is determined in the monitored area, and to provide the generated trigger data indicating an area-of-interest to an image data source, wherein the area-of-interest is a portion of the monitored area,
wherein the trigger processor is configured to generate the trigger data based on telemetry data acquired by at least one traffic infrastructure device and/or data on mobile wireless devices in the monitored area by calculating at least one of a mean traffic density value and a mean velocity value,
wherein the trigger event is determined:
in case of a difference of the calculated mean traffic density value from a predetermined traffic density value exceeds a predetermined traffic density threshold, or
in case of a difference of the calculated mean velocity value from a predetermined mean velocity value exceeds a predetermined velocity threshold, and;

the image data source configured to obtain image data captured by a capture device on the area-of-interest based on the trigger data, and to transmit the obtained image data to a traffic evaluation processor; and
the traffic evaluation processor configured to evaluate the image data to generate enhanced traffic data on the area-of-interest; and
an output device configured to output the generated enhanced traffic data in a control signal, wherein the control signal controls the traffic infrastructure device and/or the actuator of the traffic participant.
