5574 Traficon has announced the Viewcom/E Max+, a communication board for intersection control. Its task is to transmit traffic data and alarm events issued by VIP (video image processor) vehicle presence detectors. This new module provides H.264 compressed video, which guarantees best quality video while consuming minimal network bandwidth.

It offers quad view functionality that allows an operator to quickly see the whole intersection in a mosaic of four streaming videos.

The dedicated serial communication port makes it possible to send data directly to an SDLC interface board that can connect to a TS2 controller. The support for simple network management protocol (SNMP) allows this board to be managed by any standard network management software.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c
