Traffic violation detection and fine ticketing system is one of the most important parts of ISS comprehensive integrated SecurOS ITS solution. To solve these problems, ISS has a special integrated solution—SecurOS TrafficScanner.

Note: Traffic violation detection and fine ticketing systems are government-regulated and require local certification. The implementation of these solutions should be carried out according to a special business process in compliance with local regulations and in consultation with ISS expert teams.

SecurOS TrafficScanner key features

The following are the key features of the SecurOS TrafficScanner solution:

• Detection of traffic violations
• Automatic license plate recognition of violator vehicle
• Round-the-clock video recording and storage during a specified time for a subsequent analysis
• Reports on the passage of vehicles
• Detecting vehicles on the wanted list (subject to provision of the respective database)
• Traffic overview video surveillance

The following types of traffic violations can be detected:

• Running red lights
• Crossing a stop-line when red traffic light is on
• Bypass of closed or closing railroad crossing gates or entrance to railway crossings during prohibitory signals (typically red flashing lights); crossing the railway track outside the permitted zone
• Driving in lanes designated for public transportation, bicycle lanes or pedestrian paths, and sidewalks
• Driving against traffic or driving in prohibited areas
• Turn or U-turn violations of the traffic signs or markings on the speedway
• Movement in the opposite direction on one-way roads
• Failure to let pedestrians cross the road on a crossing
• Exceeding vehicle speed limit

SecurOS Crossroad is an edge-to-edge solution for traffic violations detection. It combines custom ruggedized hardware components and software for high precision detection and automatic license plate recognition (ANPR).

The solution is supplied with weatherproof processing units, environmentally protected ready-to-mount cases, and complementary illumination. The crossroad system is designed to monitor multiple vehicles and pedestrian behavior at crossroads or in potentially dangerous streets and automatically detect suspected traffic law violations.

SecurOS Crossroad automatically detects a wide range of traffic violations at crossroads including a violation for failure to give way to pedestrians at zebra crosswalks.

The primary advantages to the introduction of video monitoring system for traffic offenses are:

• Monitors roads 24/7/365 by allowing operators to record all cases of offenses in the area of video monitoring.
• Increases efficiency by issuance of citations with minimal human interaction; allowing law enforcement to dedicate more time to more critical activities.
• Generates a high percentage of positive violation detection results: a minimum number of missed violations and a minimum number of false positive detections.
• Yields an exceptionally high-quality proof of violation under any weather conditions (due to the use of video data and specifically engineered hardware).
• Provides scalable solution suitable for every possible road configuration.
• Supports integration with violation processing software.
• Supports integration with external databases to enable automatic vehicle data search.
• Generates reports of vehicles which passed traffic check posts.
• Allows Internet Protocol (IP) cameras of SecurOS Crossroad to be used as a part of a safe city or an urban surveillance system.
• Records video 24/7 in automatic mode for further detailed analysis.
• Assesses the vehicle paths, vehicle speed changes, movement of pedestrians, possible obstacles in the frame/scene, such as foliage, snowing, and other weather events using the SecurOS Crossroad algorithms.
• Supports configuration of separate violation detection scenarios for each individual system.

SecurOS Crossroad provides a highly accurate evaluation of the traffic situation and minimizes the number of undetected violations or false detection events.

SecurOS Crossroad algorithms assess the vehicle paths, vehicle speed changes, movement of pedestrians, and possible obstacles in the frame/scene, such as weather-related events like foliage or snow. Configuring separate violation detection scenarios for each individual system is supported.

Detection of traffic violations ends with the formation of a special packet of violations and is transferred to the fine ticketing processing system. Fine ticketing processing is an external system, which is under the control of the city transport authority.

The fine ticketing processing system generates the tickets in paper and electronic form and notifies the violator of the violation.
