At this year’s Intertraffic exhibition in Amsterdam, 6778 FLIR Intelligent Transportation Systems will showcase ThermiCam, an integrated thermal camera and detector for vehicle and bike presence detection and counting at signalised intersections.

ThermiCam detects vehicles and bicycles at and near the stop bar, based on thermal video images, allowing traffic lights to be controlled dynamically. The device is based on FLIR’s vast experience with integrated solutions that combine a traffic camera and video analytics for traffic applications. The ThermiCam sensor has the same housing as the well-known TrafiCam and TrafiCam x-stream video sensors, but the camera core is a thermal one. The company says that, unlike traditional CCTV video cameras, ThermiCam is able to detect vehicles and bikes in the darkest of nights over a long range. As a result, it gives traffic managers uninterrupted, 24-hour detection of motorised vehicles and cyclists, regardless of the amount of light available.

In addition to ThermiCam, FLIR will focus on its full range of thermal imaging cameras and Video Image Processing boards (VIP) for traffic monitoring and incident detection. The company’s thermal imaging cameras are commonly integrated in traffic video detection and monitoring solutions. Needing no light at all to produce an image, they can be used for a wide variety of traffic applications. FLIR’s VIP series offer multi-functional Video Image Processing modules for traffic control. VIP boards integrate automatic incident detection, data collection, recording of pre and post incident image sequences and streaming video in one board.

    Citilog's new CamEdge expands smart sensor series
    Citilog, a global leader in AID (automatic incident detection), is here at Intertraffic to introduce XCamEdge, a new innovation in the company’s XCam smart sensor series. Initially developed and designed for intersection control applications such as presence detection with XCam-p, the XCam range quickly expanded, with the XCam-ng, to smart detection for intersections with queue monitoring and anti-gridlock applications. Indeed, the latest success for the XCam-ng is the smart traffic control system in Sochi

    Citilog shows new version of XCam-p sensor
    Citilog is introducing a North American-compliant version of its XCam-p video detection sensor. The new version of XCam-p – the ‘p’ stands for presence detection – follows an agreement with Signal Group, the parent company of Peek Traffic. Peek manufactures the cabinet interface unit for the system. Citilog’s previous version of XCam-p is used internationally but does not conform to US standards. “We’ve always made the camera head sensor but until this collaboration we didn’t have an interface board t
