Houston, TX – Traffic engineers can now provide smart and affordable video detection at large traffic intersections like those above or below freeway interchanges with a new dual-camera system from Aldis Corp.
The GridSmart 720 system networks two 360 degree view cameras together to provide detection on an entire large intersection or interchange, a task that usually requires several directional-view cameras.
The dual-camera system is the result of requests from traffic engineers across the nation looking for a better, less complicated way to manage traffic at larger, more complex intersections says Bill Malkes, Aldis President.
“This system will save cities money and eliminate the hassle associated with having multiple cameras at each intersection. The GridSmart system’s ability to do more with fewer cameras reduces procurement, installation and maintenance costs.”
GridSmart traffic solutions include the Spectra 360, designed for intersection traffic management utilizing video tracking and the Optima 360, which adds support for vehicle counting data and pedestrian handling. Ultra 360, which will be available this year, will provide a complete intersection management solution including such features as vehicle pre-emption and dilemma zone functionality.
