UK-headquartered 558 AMG Systems has supplied its AMG3700 series transmission solution for the integrated security and surveillance solution at the newly opened Woodsville Tunnel in Singapore. According to Sartah Bullock, the company’s international sales and marketing director, the CCTV surveillance solution for the tunnel complex is engineered to give maximum resilience and performance. The solution operates within a dual redundant configuration with video insertion points providing analogue video, data and Ethernet capability.

“The solution operates with two singlemode fibres in ring configuration,” Bullock explains. “The benefit of this system is that operations are robust and resilient and no signals are lost in case of a failure or a fibre breakage. All signals are routed to the main ITS centre (ITSC) control room as well as to the control room in the facility building on-site.”

The solution has been implemented by Singapore’s oldest engineering company, Guthrie Engineering on behalf of the Land Transportation Authority.

The Woodsville Tunnel, which opened for traffic at the end of January, 2012,  is part of a massive US$100 million upgrading project for the Woodsville Interchange that began in 2008, consisting of three new road tunnels. These are expected to significantly ease congestion and reduce commuter travel times, in some cases by half during peak hours.

    Do Advanced Driver Assistance Systems represent a positive step forward for safety, or something of a safety risk? Jason Barnes discusses the issue with leading industry figures. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are already common. Anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control are well understood and are either fitted as standard or frequently requested by new vehicle buyers. More advanced ADAS features are appearing on many top-end vehicles and the trickle-down has already started. Adaptive

    AMG Systems has launched 90W Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches aimed at assisting demanding video surveillance applications. PoE is intended to allow power and data to pass over twisted pair Ethernet cabling. The company says that Ethernet cables help to remove the costs associated with hiring electrical installers and allow powered devices to be deployed at almost any location with an Ethernet presentation. The low voltage, according to AMG, helps to lower the risk of electrical hazards. The company’s
