5947 DERSA, the national roads company in Brazil, has awarded 4015 HTS a contract for over 30 licence plate recognition (LPR) systems to be deployed on seven coastal ferry crossings in order to monitor vehicles as they pass in and out of the entry and exit gates. The company will supply the entire project turnkey which includes LPR cameras, security cameras, video analytics, electrical infrastructure, and communications.

Desenvolvimento Rodoviário S/A (DERSA), is a partially state owned-company, responsible for delivering the best solutions in transportation infrastructure and logistics, and contributing to the development of São Paulo and Brazil.

The government also mandated DERSA to take over the administration of the coastal crossings which transport large numbers of vehicles on ferries. In order to make the entire process both safer and more efficient, DERSA is upgrading its operational control centre which manages and controls all the vehicles on the ferry as well as those waiting in line to embark. This will include measurement of waiting times, count and classification of vehicles, communications and variable message boards to be deployed across the coastal crossings.

    It would be easy to fall into the trap of seeing machine vision as the vision-based solution for ITS and traffic, however Patrik Anderson, Director Business Development Transportation of Axis Communications, notes that many of the applications which are coming to be associated with machine vision – and, indeed, many of the characteristics, such as at-the-edge analytics and image processing – are also possible with open-standard networked video. Networked video brings a whole host of advantages, such as the

However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre
