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.
