Video sensor system collecting traffic data at service stations in Ireland

Citilog is deploying XCam-td video sensors at Topaz, which has over 300 service stations throughout Ireland, in order to gather traffic data at the entrance and at multiple locations on roads leading to a service station. This gives Topaz accurate traffic counts and comparison data on vehicles traffic passing and entering the service station forecourt.

This gives Topaz accurate traffic counts and comparison data on vehicles traffic passing and entering the service station forecourt.

Citilog is providing its XCam-td video sensor for traffic data collection, while Carra, its local Irish distributor, has developed the turnkey out-station solution, which includes power supply, data collection, and back-office system to provide traffic data access. The XCam-td low power consumption requirements are supplied by solar panels connected to a battery pack. Wireless data communications has been achieved via a GSM connectivity to facilitate flexible deployment in remote locations. The entire solution is hosted by Carra’s event management and maintenance system (CEMMS) which provides the web interface, event alerting, real-time access to the traffic data, configuration management and supervision of the Citilog video sensors from any computer connected to the internet.
