Cohort business and road technology specialist 662 SEA has been awarded a further contract by the City of Cardiff Council to help the Welsh capital to reduce the congestion impact of traffic growth.

SEA’s ROADflow technology will be used to provide nearly 30 Flexi and Motion road traffic camera systems,  plus Vision vehicles, to enforce yellow box-junctions and bus lane regulations.  

This latest order will double the number of bus lane cameras to about 20 and deploy a further five yellow box-junction cameras. There will also be an option for the SEA technology to be deployed to several other junctions. The Council hopes that its Moving Traffic Offences scheme will help persuade more commuters to switch from cars to buses.

SEA’s ROADflow Motion provides monitoring of yellow box junctions and enforcement elsewhere, as it tracks vehicles continuously through junctions. The cameras use an in-house rules engine software component which categorises vehicle movements and allows detection of specific behaviours. The compensates for losing sight of vehicles for short times, which often occurs during heavy congestion and achieves high detection rates under all conditions, whilst minimising incorrect captures.

    June 7, 2012
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
