Enhanced Videology

Videology has announced an enhanced version of its popular 20D389 B&W camera board. An optional fast shutter speed control has been added to make more complex high-speed applications possible, while changes to the shutter speed, which can vary from 1/200th to 1/100,000th of a second, can be implemented within one field.

1047 Videology has announced an enhanced version of its popular 20D389 B&W camera board. An optional fast shutter speed control has been added to make more complex high-speed applications possible, while changes to the shutter speed, which can vary from 1/200th to 1/100,000th of a second, can be implemented within one field.

According to the company, its 20D389FS is an excellent choice for applications such as licence plate detail capture at high speeds, barcode data on ships arriving in ports, or information on special government vehicles. Data is imaged within a small field of view and it is easily achieved even with varying levels of illumination, plate reflectivity or shadows. A specific I²C interface detail is supplied so the OEM can create the appropriate interface schema to optimise the device's capability.

Until we achieve full automation (and that's a debatable prospect anyway) a driver's interaction with the vehicle - all the controls, information and systems - holds a pivotal role in safe driving.

    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.
