Econolite installs Autoscope Vision in Anaheim

1763 Econolite has announced here at ITS America Detroit that the company has installed Autoscope Vision at more than 40 intersections in the city of Anaheim, California, overcoming  unique challenges for a detection solution to help drive the city’s leading-edge ITS programme.


The approaches in Anaheim are often five lanes wide, or even wider in some cases, creating a detection challenge that many standard types of detectors simply cannot meet. As a result, in the past, the city has had to rely on multiple detector sensors to obtain the lane-by-lane detection and data collection for stop bar and advanced detection that is needed for their ITS programme.

With Autoscope Vision, Anaheim is now able to use a single sensor for each approach. Stop bar, advanced vehicle detection, surveillance and turning movement counts are now obtained through one camera, while pushing HD video to the traffic management centre. This flexibility increases the city’s ITS capabilities to optimise roadway efficiencies, while saving the city both time and money.

Autoscope Vision was designed from the beginning to provide a wide field-of-view and ultra-clear, unparalleled high-definition video clarity and ease-of-setup/use while delivering stop bar and advanced detection. The result is industry-leading detection for multiple objectives with a single sensor per approach.

    Q-Free’s Marco Sinnema looks at how the commoditisation of high-quality vision-based solutions is widening their application. Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi

In order to manage this level of traffic growth, traffic management centres (TMCs) will need to both increase their monitoring capabilities and be able to detect traffic problems quickly, efficiently and r

    Machine vision - cameras for intelligent traffic management
    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
