Parking and traffic regulations become much easier to enforce with the application of VCAsys, saving valuable staff time and avoiding disruption or dangerous situations due to speeding or illegal parking.

No parking zones may easily be marked out in the camera images, causing the operator to be alerted whenever a vehicle has stopped in this area for longer than a defined period. A compatible Video Management System can use the indexing information generated by the VCAsys to immediately display video of the car stopping, allowing the driver to be identified and appropriate action to be taken swiftly. This technology can support the enforcement of parking regulations such as no parking zones, drop-off zones, pedestrian crossings and bus lanes.

Dangerous driving can also be dealt with rapidly, avoiding potential accidents and injuries. One-way systems can be monitored for ‘wrong way’ traffic and security staff alerted immediately if a vehicle is reversing or driving the wrong way. Additionally, a speed limit can be set and alarms sent when a vehicle breaks this limit.

Vehicles can also be counted, allowing the monitoring of traffic levels throughout the day. This could be used to measure usage of a car park or number of customers visiting a drive-through business, or used in conjunction with speed measurements to measure traffic bottlenecks.
