Innovative products for road safety, civil security and ITS projects

Cutting edge design allows number plates to be captured and read across two lanes in the most challenging of conditions.

VECTOR combines decades of ANPR experience into a single, highly capable and compact integrated unit. Two high resolution cameras provide ANPR and scene overview images, including day/night mode allowing capture on a completely dark road. Images can be transferred via a wide range of communications media, or stored on local high capacity memory.

A GPS clock, compass, accelerometer, and two light sensors allow VECTOR to dynamically adapt to a changing operational environment, supporting even the most challenging enforcement applications.

Benefits

• VECTOR can be configured to read characters in the formats issued by almost all countries, with software licenses available for countries with known number plate syntaxes, including more challenging number plates such as Arabic and Cyrillic.
• VECTOR works in all weather and lighting conditions and is able to read plates at high vehicle speeds, so is suitable for use when stationary or travelling on high speed roads.
• VECTOR read rates have been tested in the most challenging ANPR applications and it has achieved the UK’s NASP standard.
• VECTOR is IP67 rated + IK10.

VECTOR provides a common platform for multiple advanced ANPR applications, including:

• Police ANPR
• Tolling
• Journey time measurement
• Speed enforcement
• Congestion charging
• Access control
• Security cordons
• Parking management

SPECS is a speed enforcement system, which uses linked automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras to monitor the average speed of traffic over a section of road, or network of roads. It has been used in the UK to control speeds on routes with a collision history and at major roadworks since achieving UK Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) in 1999.

Each SPECS camera continuously captures images of vehicles as they pass through the field of view. The number plates are read using ANPR and, when the same vehicle is recorded by any other camera connected to the system, the average speed of the vehicle is calculated over the known baseline distance. If this speed exceeds the police threshold, an offence record is created and violation images and data are logged.

Cameras can be installed in front or rear-facing orientation and violations can be recorded between multiple locations and multiple lanes within the system.

Each camera unit has an infrared ANPR camera and an infrared illuminator, which enables number plates to be read, regardless of light or weather conditions. A colour day/night overview camera is also included, which enables overview images to be captured in daylight and in most street lit environments. Infrared floodlights can be installed where street lighting is not available and visible lighting is undesirable, making overview image capture possible in complete darkness.

Temporary SPECS installations are used by highways contractors to manage traffic speeds through roadworks where narrow lanes and contraflows affect safety.

Permanent SPECS installations are used by the police, local authorities and strategic highways authorities to improve safety and to encourage smoother traffic flows, amongst other benefits.

Features

• No need for a cabinet
• Lower power consumption
• High resolution cameras
• Day/night mode operation
• Large operational envelope
• Multiple mounting options

VECTOR SR is a fully self-contained traffic enforcement system and holds current HOTA for unattended operation to capture red light, spot speed and speed on green offences. The system is easy to install and is suitable for use on any road type, from urban to highway.

VECTOR SR uses tracking radar for spot speed enforcement, or to identify when a vehicle crosses a white line at a traffic signal. A powerful and proven instation solution is also used to present speed and red light offence data to the back office.

Based around the proven VECTOR ANPR camera platform, VECTOR SR can unobtrusively gather rich ITS data for all passing vehicles, both for civil and security/policing applications.

Compact and lightweight, it can be installed on passively safe columns, fitted to existing street furniture or infrastructure such as gantries.

• Speed-on-green
• Level crossing enforcement

Using the tried and tested VECTOR camera with class leading deep learning ANPR and video analytics, TraffiMove provides automated data capture from suspected contravention events relating to bus lane violations, yellow box junctions and moving traffic offences, without the need for operator input.

The TraffiMove enforcement management system is a cloud native system using the latest Microsoft Azure Technologies. TraffiMove can be fully hosted meaning no on premises costs, where users can securely administer whitelists, scheduling and management dashboards remotely.

The cloud hosted TraffiMove review client, enables enforcement operators to intuitively and efficiently adjudicate an offence using clear images, night and day, with video playback and quick accept or reject functions.

Workflow rules allow administrators to determine how an operator interacts with the data and ensure key deadlines are met so that enforcement packs can be transferred to your charging system of choice.

TraffiMobile is a versatile ANPR alerting and searching application, designed to run on a hand-held touchscreen, or it can be mounted in-vehicle.

TraffiMobile‘s intuitive interface enables the monitoring of carefully selected cameras and locations, optimising the data presented to the operator. Alert criteria can be configured using pre-defined hot lists and filters, then matched against data from on-board cameras which is synchronised with Jenoptik’s TraffiData back office system. When an alert is presented to the operator, a stopped vehicle status can be recorded and an associated report text can easily be added via the touchscreen keyboard. TraffiMobile provides a full audit trail of the operators’ actions.

When vehicle-mounted, the application is able to link to the on-board cameras, providing live images and ANPR data on-screen. Video recording can be tagged for uploading to the central back office for evidential purposes.

Features

• Portable ANPR alert reporting and searching, based on established touch screen mobile device technology
• Suitable for in-vehicle solutions, providing live ANPR capture and alerting
• Synchronisation with TraffiData

Applications

• Police
• Bailiff
• Parking enforcement
• Traffic survey
• General security
