But assembling the right people together has always been the first challenge. Together, one plus one does not equal two but a successful multiple effect. We are grateful for our partners, the Public Transit Division and the University of Hawaii. To advance operations, traffic cameras were first installed in 1994. During 2001, the number of cameras will increase from 88 to 135 cameras providing video coverage on Oahu from Hawaii Kai to Ewa.
Traffic cameras are valuable tools providing factual information for traffic decisions.
This is particularly true for traffic control responses in reaction to incidents, special events, and roadway construction. Signal adjustments are an effective counter measure with the use of traffic cameras. But another resource for the traffic cameras is traveler information. Take a look at trafficam.hawaii.edu . In partnership with the University of Hawaii, the website presents current traffic conditions in Honolulu.
