Hikvision helps small municipalities with Smart Towns intelligent traffic solution

Mobility improvements, Safety and sustainability is what the Smart Towns solution provides. Hikvision, composed of license plate recognition cameras, based on AI and deep learning, offering real-time traffic data.

The smart traffic solution Smart Towns of Hikvision offers a new concept of smart city for medium and small towns. This is a traffic control solution designed for city councils., very easy to install and use, with low maintenance cost, that solves problems associated with traffic or difficulty in access, inter alia.

Smart Towns is based on vehicle access control with license plate recognition cameras (LPR) that are installed on the main entry and exit routes of the population.

These cameras, with a resolution of 4 MP, incorporate deep learning technology (deep learning) that offer a level of precision in reading license plates above the 95%. Besides, thanks to technology DarkFighter provide a quality image and clear captures, even in the dark and in adverse weather situations.

Thanks to these devices it is possible to control vehicle access, providing information about reading the license plate (or the detection of vehicles without license plates), if it is dangerous goods, the classification, vehicle color and manufacturer, and even the detection of the direction of traffic.

One of the most notable aspects that the solution provides is the incorporation of software embedded in the camera itself., which facilitates consultation of a global database of the vehicle fleet, with detailed information to check relevant data in real time, such as the condition of the vehicle (high/low), information about ITV, possible incidents (stolen car, in search situation,…), owner's details, insurance status, etc.

All information generated by LPR cameras is managed through a centralized software platform, HikCentral, intuitive and easy to use (more data in Digital Security). Desde aquí, in addition to being able to configure a series of alerts that allow quick and proactive management, It is possible to search by vehicle and filter the information as required.

The platform also includes the function of business intelligence to incorporate the analysis of all the information and different reports, allowing users to make effective decisions in real time.

HikCentral has Web Client access, Control Client y Mobile client. Thanks to the latter, Real-time viewing possible from iOS and Android devices with live views and playback.

Thinking about the needs of any type of population, Hikvision has also incorporated the wireless option into the solution, for those areas where there are incidents in terms of connectivity, as well as an option with solar panels to solve possible power problems., offering a sustainable solution from an energy perspective.

For David Gomez, business development Hikvision director, “The Smart Towns solution brings intelligent traffic systems closer to small and medium-sized towns, with a simple and economical proposal that is easy to implement that will provide an obvious improvement in terms of security, mobility and sustainability”.
