Overview

The Visual Road Summary Report displays:

  • Road images across a 24-hour time period

  • Images organized hour-by-hour

  • A snapshot of conditions using:

    • The first image captured during each hour

This provides a clear visual timeline showing how conditions change throughout the day.

How the Report Works

For each selected road and time range:

  1. The system gathers all images captured by cameras.

  2. Images are grouped by hour.

  3. The report displays:

    • The first image taken during that hour

    • The last image taken during that hour

This creates a quick visual comparison showing whether conditions improved, worsened, or remained stable during that period.
