Traficon provides traffic video detection. The principle is to install a video camera at a certain height for monitoring the traffic. Its video signal is used as input for the detection unit. In a typical Traficon installation, a detection unit consists of a number of VIP (Video Image Processor) boards integrated into a standard 19" rack (together with 1 communication board). During set-up of a VIP, detection zones are superposed on to the appropriate position in the video image. As a vehicle crosses these detection zones thus activating them, the vehicle is being detected. Application specific algorithms provide different types of traffic information Traffic data for statistical processing, incident related data, presence data. The Traficon PC Software (TMS, Flux) monitors the video detection system in the traffic control center.
