Video Incident Detection System
We cannot afford to sit more and more people watching traffic. There is a need for systems to assist video surveillance operators and signal incidents occurring on the road. Most of the information provided by CCTV cameras is under-used or not used at all because traffic operators are not aware of it in good time.
Behavior studies clearly show that the ability of an operator to focus on his traffic monitoring task decreases with the time and with the number of screens to monitors. Therefore, all the information available from these PTZ cameras is either not presented to operators or not seen in good time.
The “plug and detect” technology provides a true flexibility of the system and makes it insensitive to PTZ cameras movements. However, operators tend to focus on different cameras depending on:
- The time of day: morning and evening rush hours, night, etc.
- Day of the week: weekdays or week-ends
- Holidays
Therefore, the system needs to be flexible so as to change the cameras fed to the system depending on these various criteria.
Plug and Detect systems provide hassle free cameras operations and monitoring. This new concept of Active Video Surveillance then consists in a system working in the background on all pictures while the operators are focusing on other tasks and are ready to take over in case of incident signaled by the system.
This results in a better use of our resources enabling operators to concentrate on true security and safety issues instead of monitoring screens. This technology allows conciliating the growth of our traffic monitoring systems while keeping their efficiency at the highest level.
Features:
- Provide the operator with an alarm quickly after the event occurs, even before an operator or a traditional surveillance system can notice the consequences of the incident.
- Enable users to be warned in good time and reduce the risk of multiple accidents.
- Are modular and flexible and get rid of the constraints imposed by the use of roadway sensors: closing lanes for repairs, deterioration of the road surface.
- The CMS VID system can automatically detect the following incidents, on every lane type (traveling lane, emergency lane, parking, ramp) and under any traffic configuration: Stopped vehicle, Traffic congestion, Slow vehicle, Pedestrian, Wrong way vehicle, Debris.
