6574 Wireless Technology, Inc. (WTI) introduced a new Sidewinder H.264 high definition camera with a 30x optical zoom. The new camera also offers electronic image stabilization, de-fogging feature and wide dynamic range. The Sidewinder H.264 supports 1080p, 720p, Standard Definition, and below standard definition resolutions.

The Sidewinder H.264 camera series offers 360 degree continuous rotation in both the pan and tilt axes; specially designed Hydrophilic “self cleaning (maintenance cost lowering)” glass; and thermostatically controlled electrically conductive windows. The entire camera is IP67 with or without pressurization. To eliminate preset drift, WTI designs and manufactures its own stepper drivers for the stepper motors, resulting in a .05 preset repeatability — meaning the camera remains dead on its preset. The Sidewinder H.264 HD30 camera allows for easy integration into existing analog and IP infrastructures, supporting ONVIF, NTCIP and many other protocols.

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry

    Guillaume Ponsar, tunnel safety engineer with Egis Road Operation, writes about the advantages to be gained from the use of tunnel simulators. Major tunnel disasters over the last decade and more have shown how swiftly and badly a simple crash or fire may evolve should the wrong actions be taken by control room operators or traffic managers. Global safety issues and the reactions of operations staff have now become the principal concerns for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) service providers. As a result, n

    Azure Photonics says its zoom lenses and IR-corrected lenses are optimised for long working distance of 1m~ infinity. The zoom lenses cover different focal lengths ranging from 4-60mm with low distortion and high definition. The IR-corrected lenses are expected to cover 2/3”, 1/1.2” and 1” image circle with the design wavelength of 400-950nm at the resolution of 3MP, 5MP and 10MP. The company says the lenses are suitable for vision applications such as traffic laws and rules enforcement, security, parking

It utilises the Manto pattern recognition tool, which is part of the company's Common Vision Blox hardware-independent machine vision toolkit. Potential applications for the systems include congestion charge monitoring and other road toll
