Cameras have always been an element in Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS). But over time, the role of cameras in these systems has changed. In the beginning, cameras only served as a simple monitoring or capturing device for observing traffic flow. Today, the camera in an ITS system is the optimized "eye" of the system itself, contributing high quality images that are used for demanding traffic control applications.
Basler's IP cameras are designed to meet the needs of all mainstream traffic applications. Among their many other features, they offer:
- Resolutions from VGA to 5 megapixels at frame rates of up to 100 fps
- Very sensitive CCD sensors to yield good image quality in low ambient light, even at high frame rates
- High tolerance for back light situations (CMOS sensors)
- Highly efficient compression algorithms, e.g., MJPEG, H.264 High Profile
- Real-time trigger functionality
- Global shutter technology
- DC auto-iris control
- Day/night functionality
Typical applications include:
Enforcement (e.g., speed enforcement, red light enforcement, and lane violation detection)
Tolling (e.g., Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) and toll enforcement to prevent fraud)
Traffic Monitoring (e.g., monitoring traffic flow, road, and weather conditions, and looking for accidents or other incidents)
