7513 Videalert’s new fully hosted civil enforcement solution, which enables local authorities to outsource the hardware and software required for civil enforcement, has gained Department for Transport (DfT) Manufacturer Certification.

Videalert’s hosted solution makes it easier for councils to rapidly deploy the latest unattended digital CCTV enforcement systems, enabling them to speed up the deployment of systems to enforce the full range of moving traffic offences including banned turns, yellow box junctions and bus lanes. It also allows the enforcement of parking offences on keep clear zones outside schools, one of the exemptions detailed in the recent Deregulation Bill, without needing a major IT infrastructure project.

As part of this hosted solution, enforcement systems using Videalert's WAN 3G/4G cellular units can be installed for video processing at the network edge. The hosted servers within Videalert’s virtual server farm retrieve evidence packs from the RDS units allowing trained council operators to access and review them using standard web browsers, before confirmed offences are transmitted to the back office PCN system. Each council has a dedicated virtual server, so security and integrity is fully guaranteed with cloud storage used for backup.

According to Tim Daniels, sales and marketing director of Videalert: “This new hosted solution requires no ICT involvement from councils and can be delivered through a variety of flexible commercial models. It enables councils to respond rapidly to operational and strategic requests for deployments over both the short and long-term. Our first customer will be going live with the new system shortly.”

    The transportation sector is set to benefit from a far wider range of machine vision technology. While machine vision techniques have been applied to traffic management applications for some years, in some areas there can still be a shortage of knowledge about what the technology can offer transportation professionals. The image processing and interpretation functions of machine vision enables control room staff to be immediately alerted to occurrences requiring attention which, in turn, enables each person

    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
