A new technology partnership between UK traffic enforcement systems supplier 7513 Videalert with digital video recording and video management software provider 7923 Wavestore will add to the level of interoperability between Videalert’s intelligent digital video platform and Wavestore’s video management software.

Developed for civil traffic enforcement, traffic management and community safety applications, Videalert’s intelligent digital video platform combines ANPR with video analytics using additional intelligence to track moving objects but only capturing those vehicles committing an offence.

The data is relayed to traffic control centres where operators can view live video images or review recorded images of any incident, using the Wavestore VMS. Data from the cameras can also be sent in real time to the traffic management control system for predicting average journey times and/or to the police via a certified BOF2 interface for crime prevention activities.
 
“The integration of our technologies fully complements and enhances our strategy for enabling the running of multiple CCTV applications using a single platform to preserve budgets,” commented Tim Daniels, sales and marketing director of Videalert.  “This new partnership will provide added value to our customers seeking an integrated approach for improving road safety and traffic flows as well as helping to reduce crime in our cities.”

    Cost-benefit analysis invariably finds highly in favour of speed and red light enforcement, particularly so in Edmonton in the Alberta province of Canada, where authorities need no convincing of the merits of road safety engineering. Justification of enforcement efforts on economic grounds has been reinforced this year, by a study of the costs and benefits of red light enforcement.

    A combination of technologies is leading to major congestion and cost reductions during roadworks on the UK’s motorway network. Innovative construction programme scheduling technology and the deployment of moveable barriers has achieved substantial savings of money and time on UK motorway roadworks managed by the Highways Agency (HA). This combination has set the scene for a new generation of road usage analysis tools. The HA’s objective was to reduce the congestion caused by lane closures during roa
