From Daily Commutes to the Masters Tournament: How Augusta Scaled Smart Traffic Management with Nx Go and Intel
Last Updated: Aug 19, 2025
The Traffic Engineering division of the Augusta Engineering Department (AED) oversees more than 275 signalized intersections and an ever‑expanding fleet of traffic cameras across Richmond County, Georgia. Each spring, tens of thousands of visitors descend on the city for the Masters Tournament, turning routine congestion into a high‑stakes logistical puzzle. AED needed a visual‑infrastructure platform that could simplify everyday operations yet flex instantly for event‑level surges. They chose Nx Go — built on the Nx Enterprise Video Operating System (Nx EVOS) and deeply optimized for Intel® edge‑AI silicon — to transform their existing camera network into a real‑time, data‑driven traffic‑management engine.
