Hanwha Vision improves traffic management with Road AI and RoadWatch

The Czech city of Brandýs Nad Labem-Stará Boleslav has expanded its municipal surveillance system with twenty cameras Hanwha Vision, which incorporate Roas AI and RoadWatch functions for license plate recognition and traffic management.

In order to improve the safety and quality of life of its citizens, the city council of Brandýs Nad Labem-Stará Boleslav, known as 'the city of two cities', because of its history as two towns spread across both banks of the Elbe River, began a few years ago the construction of the municipal camera surveillance system (MKDS).

Now, in order to further enhance public safety, The city council has installed license plate recognition cameras to better understand vehicle flow and inform traffic management.

For this project, a total of twenty cameras of the PNO-A9081RLP and XNO-6123R/RW models of Hanwha Vision, with the functions Road AI and RoadWatch with artificial intelligence have been deployed, together with a SSM recording server, decodificadores, he TID-600 intercom and other equipment.

This new facility provides control room staff, city police officers, and Czech crisis management authorities with high-quality images of vehicle markings, models, colors and license plates.

The PNO-A9081RLP cameras offer Brandýs Nad Labem-Stará Boleslav a all-in-one solution, with automatic license plate recognition, model, brand and color (MMCR) y análisis de clasificación de vehículos, fully pre-installed and fully licensed, that cover a traffic lane at speeds of up to 70 Km/h.

since eyewitness statements are often inaccurate or incomplete, particularly regarding vehicle license plates, the ability to search cars by brand, model, and color is a great help for investigation teams if an incident occurs.

In the same way, as criminals often change car license plates to prevent automatic reading from identifying them as stolen, the police can use brand search criteria, model and color to cross-reference with stolen vehicle reports.

Vehicles are also classified into seven different types (passenger cars, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, light commercial vehicles (LCV), trucks, buses or motorcycles), which allows operators to provide faster responses to traffic incidents and generate reports of dangerous driving.

Besides, operators can obtain long-term information on the use of roads and parking lots, and planners to have data for road expansion or the creation of new lanes for buses and bicycles.

For your part, The Hanwha Vision XNO-6123R/RW cameras come pre-installed with Roadwatch ANPR, an all-in-one direction detection and automatic license plate recognition function.

These devices are specially suited for monitoring urban traffic and can cover a lane at speeds of up to 90 km/h and at a distance of up to 30 meters with infrared.

Ambos modelos de cámara comunican con las bases de datos policiales para mejorar aún más los tiempos de respuesta de incidentes y dar apoyo a las investigaciones, ya que la policía local puede ver lo que está sucediendo en tiempo real en un videowall en la sala de control o con imágenes remotas en sus teléfonos y tabletas.

Las autoridades de Bandýs Nad Labem-Stará Boleslav planean realizar una futura expansión del sistema de cámaras e invertir en Wisenet Wave para mejorar aún más la conectividad móvil de quienes responden en primera instancia.
