7313 Qvision made the use of video easier for transportation agencies with the introduction of two new technologies at the ITS America Annual Meeting and Expo.

Qvision offers a low-cost alternative to streaming by providing live video updates of traffic conditions on highways, bridges, tunnels, cargo areas or any congestion points – and now the Qvision Hybrid Option enables agencies to utilize both live video streaming and video clips on the system depending on the need.

Live streaming can be used when sharing video with other agencies, such as police or fi re departments, while video clips are more practical to deliver up-to-date traffic information to the public. These clips take up only 5-10% of the bandwidth that streaming video consumes, resulting in a significant resource and cost savings.

The company also introduced the Qvision Plug- In, allowing agencies to integrate cell modem connected cameras with traffic management systems. Previously, these cameras required totally different systems from traditional hard wired traffic management cameras. Incorporating cell modem cameras into a TMS enables live video from virtually any location regardless of Internet availability.

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni

    Telematics Technology's Peter Billington describes the effort to give English local authorities and police forces a UTMC ANPR open communication protocol. The story of the impact of communication protocols on the development and utilisation of intelligent equipment is a familiar one both inside and outside the ITS industry. At the outset, a company pioneering its latest technology invariably develops a proprietary protocol. This enables the company's products to talk to the customer systems which need to a

    April 23, 2013
    What started out at the turn of the millenium as a simple dial-up travel information service has grown out of all recognition in the digital age. Pete Goldin surveys the development to date of the US 511 traveller information system. In a little over a decade, 511 has gone from its original intent – a collection of recorded messages accessible via phone for pre-trip planning – to a network of dynamic traveller information services provided by states and cities throughout the US, offering access to a wide v
