IP Network-enabled ANPR Cameras
1977 Microbus has launched its latest IP network-enabled Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras specially developed for ANPR recognition systems over LAN/WAN video networks. According to the company, adding embedded IP encoding inside the Rapier 25 and 50 cameras offers ANPR providers significantly lower implementation costs and flexible networking capabilities whilst maintaining all the remote setup capabilities for camera, lens and IR configuration. A Rapier IP camera can stream images from both the internal ANPR and overview cameras in MJPEG, MPEG4 and/or H.264 formats, and are perfect for locations where users require the ANPR computer to be remote from the camera or direct connection to a laptop/PC without the need for a video frame grabber.

Microbus says its cameras can also be used for statistical analysis and include options for virtual triggers, vehicle counting and vehicle classification. Traffic monitoring features such as direction of travel, stopping, loitering, entering and exiting from view are also able to be configured and flagged through IP messaging (metadata) to the ANPR computer or other devices on the network.

    Are pre-launch trials of charging systems the way to improve public acceptance? Or is the real key a more robust political attitude? Here, leading system suppliers discuss the issue. The use of distance-based Road User Charging (RUC) is now well established, at least for heavy goods vehicles on strategic roads. However demand management for all vehicles, whether a distance-based charge or some form of cordon scheme, has yet to make significant progress. This is in spite of the logic and equity of RUC being

    Optelecom-NKF has released its Siqura S-68 E video server, an easy-to-install encoder that requires very little maintenance while still providing outstanding performance and reliability. With the capacity to compress and stream video in H.264 from 88 analogue cameras per one 19in/3U power supply cabinet, the company claims the S-68 E is now one of the industry's most efficient, high-density solutions, making it ideal for large, professional installations where space and cost per channel are a concern.

    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa

    Despite much research and technological promise, progress towards cooperative infrastructure system deployment is still slow. Here, Robert Cone and John Miles take a considered look at how and when it might come about. From a systems engineering viewpoint it looks logical and inevitable that vehicles should be communicating between themselves and with the road infrastructure. But seen from a business viewpoint the case is not proven.
