5574 Traficon has unveiled Viewcom/E Max, its latest innovation for the US market. This module performs all primary functions for communication and transmission of traffic data and alarm events issued by VIP vehicle presence detectors.
New for this communication module is its more powerful processor, bringing higher computing performance and the addition of MPEG-4 video streaming functionality.
Bill Klyczek, VP of Traficon USA, explains: "Although our customers are very satisfied with the detection performance of our video detection products, an increasing number of people are also requesting MPEG-4 compression to view live video on their PC displays and video walls. Bringing in high-quality images at the TMC simply makes visual verification much stronger and allows the operator to take quick decisions to better monitor and control multiple intersections across the city."
This Viewcom/E Max module in operational mode provides streaming video at 30fps using a relatively small bandwidth. Multiple clients are able to view the streaming video simultaneously. Using a standard Internet browser, the module can easily be managed over the TCP/IP Ethernet network, thereby facilitating remote administration. This means users have easy access to a number of functionalities such as streaming video, real-time traffic data reports and can accomplish set-up right from their desks.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
