Swedish network video supplier 2215 Axis Communications has acquired intelligent real-time video monitoring company 371 Citilog, adding advanced surveillance technology to Axis’ product offering and expanding its opportunities in the fast-growing traffic analytics market. The two companies have worked together for several years to provide integrated solutions for mutual customers.

Based in Paris, Citilog’s advanced video analytics and surveillance products are used to identify traffic incidents and deviations in real time to help traffic management centres improve the traffic flows and shortening response times. The company also offers solutions to analyse advanced traffic statistics and provide solutions for traffic lights and intersection control. Its products are used worldwide to monitor roadways, tunnels, bridges and other infrastructure, as well as city traffic operations. Alarms can be generated for numerous incidents and traffic saturation detection and enables traffic operators to redirect traffic and thereby adjust efficiency on the fly.

“Citilog’s proven products are well known to the traffic sector, and complement our solutions for the most demanding requirements in that market, said Axis CEO Ray Maurittson. “The company offers a suite of video analytics tools and sensors for transportation monitoring, such as automatic incident detection, traffic data collection and intersection control. Its products improve road safety, limit risks and help reduce travel time.”
