518 Allied Vision Technologies (AVT) has introduced the 2255 Prosilica GT GigE Vision camera series which offers an extended operating temperature range and optimised image processing functions.

Capable of operating at extreme temperatures from -10°C to +60°C and in changing lighting conditions, the Prosilica GT has been designed for demanding outdoor applications such as traffic and security monitoring, surveillance and aviation/space flights.

The cameras feature a host of functions to cope with external weather conditions, as well as the latest CCD sensors, precise iris lens control and image optimisation. Resolutions from VGA to six megapixel and frame rates of up to 119 frames per second are available, allowing for high speed burst images, often required for traffic control to capture multiple images of a passing vehicle and licence plate recognition.

    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    May 9, 2019
    Videalert is launching a refit service for mobile enforcement vehicles (MEV), which it says will allow UK councils to extend the operational life of existing assets. The firm claims that the service will allow councils who obtain MEVs from suppliers such as TES and SEA to replace analogue technology with high-definition cameras which offer capture rates up to 98%. The vehicles achieve this capture rate by making a single pass at normal road speeds rather than having to make multiple passes at speeds
