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.

    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a
