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.

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

    Guillaume Ponsar, tunnel safety engineer with Egis Road Operation, writes about the advantages to be gained from the use of tunnel simulators. Major tunnel disasters over the last decade and more have shown how swiftly and badly a simple crash or fire may evolve should the wrong actions be taken by control room operators or traffic managers. Global safety issues and the reactions of operations staff have now become the principal concerns for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service providers. As a result, n

  • ITS homes in on cycling safety
    April 9, 2014
    A new generation of ITS equipment is helping road authorities get to grips with cycle safety – and not a moment too soon as Colin Sowman discovers. Cyclists - remember them? Apparently not. At least not according to the OECD 2013 report Cycling, Health and Safety which contains the statement: ‘Cyclists are often forgotten in the design of the road traffic system’. Looking through the statistics that exist (each country appears to compile them differently) it is not difficult to see how such a conclusion cou
