Visitors to ITS America 2016 San Jose will be the first to see a new product from 69 International Road Dynamics – the company’s very recently announced light-weight, cost-effective, portable UVAS under-vehicle surveillance system.

The real-time UVAS system is designed to provide an affordable, robust and dependable under-vehicle inspection process for all vehicle check points in any terrain – day or night.

Global weigh-in-motion technology specialist IRD says it provides the perfect solution to scan, inspect, and digitally record the underside of any road vehicle.

The UVAS system is mainly for 24/7 remote or temporary service applicable to checking for hidden explosives or other suspicious packages. The system produces a full-colour image of the entire underside within seconds of the vehicle passing over the scanning unit. Images are captured and displayed in real time on a high-definition display and stored for archive on a large-capacity hard drive.

The IRD package includes all the necessary components to set up a temporary vehicle check point. Mounted in a ruggedised fibre case, the main computer elements include a high-performance processor with a large-capacity hard disk drive. Attached to the hinged top is a 22” LCD display supporting resolutions up to 1920x1080. The case is mounted on heavy-duty casters and includes AC outlet plugs supporting operating voltages at 110-240VAC, 50-60Hz.

Included with the system are two separate cameras – one for the driver image / scene camera and the second one for LPR. The camera housing contains high-intensity LEDs with a high-speed scanning camera that is programmed to capture the undercarriage of a moving vehicle up to a speed of 30 km/h.

Images are instantly displayed and processed in real time for analysis.

Based on the Xilinx Zynq 7030 image processing architecture, the camera includes a Kintex7 FPGA with 125,000 elements which is said to enable images to be acquired and pre-processed at high speeds. A Cortex-A9 dual core 667MHz processor processes and transmits the data while an integrated SD card can increase the image storage capability to 32GB. Features inclu
  • Faster more flexible ANPR from Imagsa
    November 22, 2012
    Imagsa’s latest Atalaya automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera is more flexible and has more processing power, thanks to the company’s proprietary FPGA processor coupled to a CMOS sensor which allows the camera to operate at 270 frames per second. Although Imagsa say this isn’t necessarily needed for ANPR, the camera works under any conditions and at this frame rate can accurately detect a vehicle ten times in three metres at speeds of up to 250 km/h, even in heavy rain or in direct sunlight.
