Product includes real-time vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle detection, as well as classification, full-screen object tracking and counting

Econolite has launched Autoscope OptiVu, the latest addition to its Autoscope line of high definition (HD) video detection solutions. 

“Autoscope OptiVu is designed to provide superior detection capabilities and gather real-time traffic data in support of emerging predictive and smart city applications,” explains Sunny Chakravarty, Econolite’s vice president of engineering. 

The manufacturer says flexible and robust single-point edge processing enables high levels of performance and ease of integration "into future connectivity and ITS upgrades, including predictive safe system applications". 

The new Power Over Ethernet HD camera and video processor are designed for accurate real-time vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle detection, as well as classification, full-screen object tracking and counting.

“By leveraging advanced detection AI algorithms and deep machine learning to perform image classification and detection of objects and to track those objects through time, OptiVu delivers the critical situational awareness and resolution needed for current and future dynamic multimodal network operations,” Chakravarty says.

Econolite, part of Umovity, also has Autoscope Vision and Evo Radar above-ground sensors in its portfolio. OptiVu integrates with Centracs +Detect for advanced, cloud-based data reporting, analytics, and monitoring capabilities.
