Data Center

Traffic Flow

A traffic flow survey is used to survey traffic flows within a closed area, also known as cordon. The basis for this are cross-sectional counts where vehicles with license plates are recognized by BCAs. The images and license plates are only processed on the device and linked to traffic flows using a hashing algorithm, fully GDPR compliant. Source, destination and transit traffic as well as traffic flows at selective nodes or relationships are available for data analysis. Traffic flows can be segmented by traffic classification, travel time and origin by country and region.

Further improvements

• The Data Center can now be used with devices from all Control Center instances

Control Center & Device Update

Counting Line Support for BMC

With this release it is possible to switch dry-contacts of the BMC (and Quido) with Counting Lines in addition to Region of Interest.

For counting lines, the configured dry-contact is closed for a short time interval (approx. 150 ms) as soon as the configured rule is fulfilled, e.g. a vehicle passes the counting line in the “In” direction. E.g. this allows to count the number of passing vehicles by triggering a dry-contact.

Further improvements

• Number plate detection (Parking Mode ANPR)

  • Umlauts such as Ö were output twice under certain circumstances

  • If the “Attach image to event” option is activated, images are always attached to the event as payload even if the license plate was not recognized

  • The event format has been extended and now includes the coordinates of the detected vehicle and the license plate

• Speed Estimate - Accuracy has been improved

• Live Calibration - The visual representation of the object detection (colored outline around the object) is correctly displayed
