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.

    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

  • Wireless bridges widen options for ITS upgrades
    December 9, 2014
    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.
