2077 Digital Ally has begun production of its new DVM-250 Digital Event Recorders, and has also won its first order for 65 of the units from one of the largest ambulance service providers in the United States.

The device automatically records and stores video and audio from inside and outside vehicles. Thus, in the case of an abrupt change in acceleration/deceleration, such as during a vehicle accident, sudden stop or other violent manoeuvre, the event is automatically recorded, including one minute prior to the event. Other possible triggers for automatic recording include specific speeds and GPS coordinates, and an optional Interface Box can provide additional possibilities, including shifting the vehicle into reverse, emergency lights, door sensors and more. Users may also start recordings manually, for instance to record the criminal actions of passengers.

    Canadian researchers Olivier Quirion-Blais, Martin Trépanier and André Langevin have developed an algorithm to determine the most efficient routes for snow ploughs and gritters. Snow plough routing has always been something of a ‘black art’: to direct a fleet of show plough to clear priority roads without having the same road cleared several times while others are left untreated. Increasingly, GPS is being used to track the routes the clearing vehicles have taken but until now it has not been possible to ta

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

    Inherent weaknesses in satellite communications are leading several countries to re-evaluate terrestrial-based backup systems. There is a tale frequently told in satellite navigation circles, of how landing systems at Newark Airport were disrupted by a truck driver using GPS jamming equipment as he drove along the New Jersey Turnpike. While there was no threat to flight safety as the interference to GPS reference stations being tested, the story highlights how apparently benign threats have the potential t
  • Increased automation is already improving road safety

    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc
