Vivotek cameras help control traffic in Argentina

A scheme has been developed in which the Vialseg red light application system uses the high resolution images taken by the IP9171-HP cameras and with custom designed software this image is delivered to the Neural Labs LPR software to analyze the status of the traffic light and the position of the vehicles..

Before the project carried out by Vialseg, The use of traffic lights in Argentina depended on devices that operated based on underground physical inductive loops and physically connected to the traffic light controller.. This system suffered constant delays, which prevented the recording of images of violations due to street maintenance or disconnections with the same traffic lights.

Vialseg suggested combining two cameras and a license plate recognition solution (LPR), so they combined forces with Selnet, local distributor of Vivotek, y Neural Labs, LPR software partner.

This company designed the system and software based on the technology provided by Vivotek and its H.265 box-type network camera. 3 IP9171-HP megapixel (AB6117-HP). In joint work with experts in license plate recognition (LPR), Neural Labs, Vialseg and its partners developed a scheme in which Vialseg's red light application system uses the high-resolution images taken by the IP9171-HP cameras (AB6117-HP). With custom-designed software, this image is delivered to the Neural Labs LPR software to analyze the status of the traffic light. (red/yellow/green) and the position of the vehicles allowing to detect when a vehicle does not respect the red light.

Traffic officials automatically receive all images to use as evidence in corresponding legal actions against violations.

Red light application systems are already used in the cities of Escóbar, Moreno, Necochea and Colonel Pringles, all in the province of Buenos Aires, the largest in size and population in Argentina, and the system is expanding. Plans to continue the implementation of the system in the city of Buenos Aires and other major metropolises are underway, estimating more than one hundred systems to be installed this year.

Acting as the eyes of the system, Vivotek's IP9171-HP camera (AB6117-HP) is a box-type H.265 network camera that offers excellent quality images up to 30 fps con 3 megapixels and provides accurate license plate identification under any conditions.

Features why Vialseg chose this camera

• Corridor view. This function allows you to capture panoramic images of the traffic light and the intersection efficiently.
• Day and night function and camera zoom allows vehicle identification using LPR and infrared illumination to improve license plate reading under poor lighting conditions and at night.
  Remote back focus. Helps installers adjust it precisely without the need for ladders or other lifting means.
• The combination of WDR Pro and Supreme Night Visibility technologies (SNV) allows you to adjust and capture high resolution images in both high contrast lighting conditions, characteristic of a day with bright sun, as in lower light conditions, typical of the darkness of the night.

These features allow the camera to provide high video quality, very similar to the capabilities of the human eye, and offer optical technology that guarantees the application of traffic lights throughout the country.
