US security systems provider ONVIF is to provide 8101 Highways England with an open standards CCTV management system for the continued expansion and management of its national highway CCTV and traffic system. The use of an open, standards-based system allows the national transport organisation to support existing CCTV cameras while providing a pathway for adding new, ONVIF Profile S conformant cameras from a variety of different vendors to the system.  

In addition to enabling continued control of existing CCTV assets and an incremental migration from legacy analogue to IP, a standards-based approach offers Highways England the ability to use new innovative CCTV technology as it appears on the market.

According to Jason Moss, technical director of intelligent transport for 499 Mouchel, the consulting group assisting Highways England with its CCTV system, this approach allows Highways England, with help from its system integrator 2002 Costain, to migrate to an open standards-based system incrementally as bespoke cameras reach their end of life.

While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
