Spanish company 65 Imagsa Technologies has unveiled several new products in its Atalaya range of traffic cameras. For instance, the Atalaya3D is an innovative high-speed stereoscopic camera that uses parallel computing techniques to successfully perform real-time three-dimensional analysis of road traffic. It provides, in a single unit, a wide range of traffic measurements, such as precise speed and inter-distance measurement or vehicle counting and classification, combining applications as diverse as speed enforcement, journey time monitoring or dangerous goods transport control.

Imagsa has also launched AtalayaCompact, an autonomous (no external trigger) megapixel smart camera to perform ALPR in real time and with top accuracy under challenging traffic, light and weather conditions. It integrates a high-speed megapixel CMOS sensor (250fps) and a supercomputing device (FPGA), to detect and analyse license plates in real time.

AtalayaSpeed+Class is a software module that is used with the AtalayaCompact ALPR camera for speed and classification. According to Imagsa, this enables a great variety of traffic measurements in a single ALPR camera, without requiring any additional investments on inductive loops, radars or lasers.

Another product from Imagsa is MercuryTraffic, an ultra-compact license plate sensor that combines a megapixel high-speed CMOS sensor (able to capture up to 1,000 images per second) with high-performance hardware performing advanced image processing algorithms in real time. The company says that license plate images provided by MercuryTraffic enable OCR software to achieve maximum recognition rates.

    The technical programme of this year’s ITS World Congress in Vienna includes a special session on the image of enforcement. ITS International examines the scale of the problem and what can be done about it. Debate on the merits and difficulties of enforcing speed limits appears centred on a conflict of principles. Put very simply, local communities, people living close to busy or hazardous roads, want to see traffic speeds calmed. Drivers on those roads, on the whole, want their principle of freedom to be m

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe

    March 18, 2014
    Colin Sowman talks to Terry Bergan of International Road Dynamics about the latest uses of weigh-in-motion systems. Raising allowable truck weight limits improve transport efficiency but leaves an ever-increasing number of bridges vulnerable to being overloaded and damaged by vehicles heavier, and in some cases far heavier, than they were designed to carry. The simplistic solution is to impose weight restrictions and erect appropriate signs - but this could have severe knock-on effect on trucking operations
