Siqura partners with Transcore on Riyadh mobility project

Dutch company Siqura recently partnered with US-based Transcore to supply the government of Saudi Arabia with an IP video surveillance system for the capital, Riyadh. Siqura will install digital speed-dome cameras at 350 intersections to monitor traffic, all linked to each other via an IP fibre optic network and monitored from a central control room, allowing operators to regulate traffic remotely. The project is due to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.

    Road tunnels are a particularly dangerous environment. Not only do fires burn more violently in enclosed environments, as happened in the 1999 Mont Blanc tunnel disaster, the low lighting and confined reaction space mean accidents are more likely to happen. Authorities must, therefore, be easily and quickly alerted to accidents, breakdowns and equipment must be working at all time.

    All encompassing, city-wide transport monitoring and control systems are beginning to make their way onto the market, as Colin Sowman hears. The futuristic vision of cities where everything is connected and operated with maximum efficiency by a gigantic computer remains a distant prospect but related sectors and services are beginning to coalesce: transport monitoring and control for instance.

    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.
