Dynniq and Ultimate Visual Solutions (UVS) say they have gained the first control room contract win of their new partnership - the unnamed client is an English local authority.
 
The firms got together to offer a turnkey solution incorporating a UVS video wall solution with Dynniq’s urban traffic management control system, ImCity.
 
The cloud-based platform has been designed to enable different roadside assets, such as CCTV, to be combined into a single graphical user interface. 
 
ImCity will be displayed using a UVS Lucidity video wall system in which a controller is configured to decode and display over 110 HD resolution IP streams collected from traffic cameras and multiple HDMI encoded data sources. 
 
The firms say this enables local authorities "to effectively control various roadside assets from one integrated free-standing LCD video wall display, ensuring enhanced road safety and improved traffic flow without the need for significant infrastructure changes".

The control of the video wall layouts is provided within ImCity via a desk mounted touch screen controller. 
 
“The project was won after an extremely intensive tender process during the heart of the Covid pandemic, when Dynniq and UVS combined to provide a comprehensive tender response," explains UVS MD Steve Murphy.
 
The companies provided remote, online live demonstrations of the integrated solution.

Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o

    Although urban traffic control and parking management are inextricably linked in so many ways, there remain fundamental differences which undermine closer integration. Car parking guidance systems can have a significant, positive impact on congestion in town and city centres, however conflicting business models still stand in the way of the more profound integration of car parking management and Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems.
