Autoscope Encore Announced
6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) and its partner 1763 Econolite have announced the Autoscope Encore, the next generation of Autoscope. A true multitasking video detection solution, the new device features powerful network browser navigation, comprehensive data collection, internet access via web server, and software development tools to achieve efficiencies and seamlessly integrate with other ITS systems. According to the partners, this offers unparalleled control, security, and immediate data and video access. Its dual-core digital signal processor with advanced RISC machine (ARM) processing is part of a low-power consumption System-on-Chip (SoC) package. This SoC architecture combined with multi-threaded software enables the Encore sensor to process video images in real time to detect traffic, extract data, identify incidents and transmit detector outputs while simultaneously streaming MPEG-4 video output.

Encore sensors feature what is claimed as a unique lens aperture as part of a newly designed housing assembly that provides the best video detection possible in all weather and lighting conditions while reducing unit weight and end-to-end footprint by nearly 50 per cent. According to Ken Aubrey, president and CEO of Image Sensing Systems, "By simplifying installation and leveraging a new high-integrity enclosure design, Autoscope Encore represents an environmentally secure video detection platform upgrade, providing convenient integration with virtually any network while at the same time reducing overall visual obtrusiveness." Autoscope Encore products will be primarily sold in the North American market, for which Econolite is the exclusive marketing partner for ISS.

    Two decades after the death of the inductive loops was predicted, Matt Zinn, technical services manager at Eberle Design says the technology still offers advantages. More than 20 years ago the emergence of video detection systems led many to foretell the end of inductive loops. In the intervening years advocates of radar, infrared and wireless detection technologies have also claimed that loops were on their way out. But in fact, by all calculations, the use of loops has actually increased and although
