Traficon shows Eye-D and VIP-PTZ products at ITS World Congress

Traficon has brought several exciting new technologies to the ITS World Congress. Earlier this year, the company acquired Sumit, a provider of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology. Traficon has been working ever since to incorporate the Sumit technology into its own portfolio and visitors to its stand can see the result here – Eye-D, a dedicated Traficon camera product for intersection enforcement.

Earlier this year, the company acquired Sumit, a provider of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology. Traficon has been working ever since to incorporate the Sumit technology into its own portfolio and visitors to its stand can see the result here – Eye-D, a dedicated Traficon camera product for intersection enforcement.

The company has also expanded its AID portfolio with the new VIP-PTZ, VIP-TX, and Trafibot. VIP-PTZ which has been designed to add automatic incident detection (AID) to pan-tilt-zoom cameras in order to improve road safety and mobility over a much longer viewing range than is possible with fixed cameras.

Typical applications for this product include hard shoulder monitoring and highway incident detection. The versatile VIP-PTZ can be combined with PTZ cameras that work either with or without preset positions. In the latter case, VIP-PTZ features automatic smart configuration of detection zones, which results in high detection performance, regardless of camera position.

Another innovation is the new VIP-TX solution that extends the functionality of Traficon’s field-proven VIP-T incident detection board for analogue cameras with powerful video encoding/streaming. VIP-TX can stream H.264, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and MJPEG simultaneously.

Following this demand of decentralization even more, Traficon is also launching Trafibot, an all-in-one AID camera that combines high-performance camera optics and powerful video encoding/streaming with field-proven incident detection algorithms from Traficon.

    In-car automatic emergency braking systems with pedestrian detection mostly fail to avoid hitting pedestrians - and are “completely ineffective at night”, according to new research. In shocking findings, the American Automobile Association (AAA) revealed that most systems hit a simulated pedestrian target at 30mph. A collision also occurred 89% of the time when a vehicle operating at 20mph encountered a child darting between two cars. In tests, all vehicles collided with an adult pedestrian immediately fo

Tim Baker, Think&Go NFC Marketing and Communications Director, believes his company’s double win says a lot about the credibility of the SESAMES Awards and of CARTES itself. “We are not an exhibitor at CARTES,” he laughs. “We are a very small company.
