Vivotek cameras monitoring traffic in Phoenix

Some 96 traffic signal intersections in Phoenix, Arizona, have deployed closed circuit surveillance cameras to supervise traffic, of which 88 intersections use Vivotek cameras. AJP Electric was the programmer and installer of the project covering deployment of Vivotek SD8313E cameras which integrate wide dynamic range (WDR) pro technology and offers a high-performance speed dome network ideal for outdoor surveillance applications.

Some 96 traffic signal intersections in Phoenix, Arizona, have deployed closed circuit surveillance cameras to supervise traffic, of which 88 intersections use 5195 Vivotek cameras. AJP Electric was the programmer and installer of the project covering deployment of Vivotek SD8313E cameras which integrate wide dynamic range (WDR) pro technology and offers a high-performance speed dome network ideal for outdoor surveillance applications.

According to Michael Paganik, project manager of AJP Electric, the Vivotek SD8313E “has performed exceptionally well, reliably delivering remarkably clear video footage of traffic at 88 of Phoenix‘s busiest intersections around the clock. Furthermore, the city is looking to install additional Vivotek cameras at other intersections.”

The IP66-rated weather-proof SD8313E camera provides 90° tilt and 360° pan; 36X zoom; and can function in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 55°C. AJP Electric chose Luxriot open architecture video management software (VMS) as the traffic monitoring platform.

    McCain has announced its latest partnership with Phoenix Pacific to supply the Honolulu with island-wide local firmware updates. Upgrades to local intersection control software will extend the functionality of their entire traffic infrastructure. McCain has been awarded the contract, which includes updates to approximately 800 intersections’ traffic signal controller firmware, from Program 200 to Program 233. The update will ensure that the entire island’s traffic system runs on the same software. Honolulu’

    Jason Gomez and Daniel Mondesir describe how passenger disruption was minimised during a major upgrading of the control room of Miami-Dade’s Metrorail. In 1984 when the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works’ (DTPW) Metrorail system was launched in southern Florida, trains ran 18km along a single line and stopped at 10 stations.

    Road authorities have a lot to gain from high-resolution traffic data, argues Pravin Varaiya. Traffic engineers have traditionally been forced to operate with limited data regarding the performance of their arterials. Traffic studies are often commissioned once every three years, over a few days, to get an updated estimate of utilization.
