Grounded in the 8-camera town blackout outage case study
In the Winona model, eight license plate reader nodes monitor arterial corridors. Each active sensor projects a calibrated sight cone across traffic lanes. When a vehicle traverses the route under nominal conditions, intersecting field cones record plate hits, maintaining eighty-seven point five percent grid continuity. Triggering an eight camera blackout disconnects all detectors. Sight cones turn red and collapse, dropping grid coverage to zero and expanding the blind spot radius to nearly four kilometers.
