Fort Wayne approves $340K for Miovision traffic cameras, replacing in‑road sensors
Fort Wayne City Council approved just over $340,000 to buy Miovision traffic detection cameras that detect vehicles approaching intersections to help signal timing. City officials say the cameras cannot read license plates, store video for roughly a week, and will replace in‑road sensors to avoid tearing up streets.
The Fort Wayne City Council approved more than $340,000 to purchase Miovision traffic detection cameras. Traffic Engineer Philip LaBrash said the new system detects vehicles approaching intersections so traffic signals can adjust in real time; WANE‑TV reported the Miovision units do not perform the same functions as the previously used Flock system. The council’s move follows its earlier decision to reject a contract renewal with Flock over surveillance concerns.
City officials emphasized the cameras cannot read license plates or collect personal vehicle data. Video is stored for roughly a week and is accessible only by traffic engineering staff. Officials also said replacing in‑road sensors with camera technology is more efficient and prevents crews from having to tear up roads for sensor work.
