Major ANPR camera contract for Siemens ITS

Following more than seven months of trials, Austrian system integration company 7iD has placed an order with Siemens ITS for 175 Sicore automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras. The cameras will be implemented by an international logistics operating company to provide correlated ANPR and RFID data of its approaching vehicles, with the aim of reducing wait times for drivers upon arrival at their logistics facilities before they are directed to their waiting/loading/unloading bay.

    Success of London’s congestion charge scheme
    Said to be the biggest congestion charge scheme to launch in any city, the London scheme got off to a smooth start ten years ago on 17 February 2003, much to the surprise of London's then mayor Ken Livingstone, who ten years later says “it turned out better than I expected.” None of the anticipated pre-7am congestion as drivers attempted to avoid the charge happened, and by the end of the first day 57,000 drivers had paid it. The main problem seemed to be that buses were all running ahead of time and had t

    CMOS cameras used to create video pedestrian crossing
    The city of Cologne, Germany has installed two CMOS-camera based video pedestrian light systems that will recognise waiting pedestrians and extend the green phase if there are still people crossing after the standard time allocation. The system, implemented by Siemens, uses two Flir cameras. The safe walk camera observes the waiting area. A stereo camera with two CMOS 1/3-inch mono sensors and 3 mm lenses is mounted 3.5 metres above the ground to cover an area of 12 sq m. This camera is set to recognise on
