Is the next decade the decade of intelligent video surveillance? From the emancipation and increasing diversification of this technology, it would seem so.Beyond the simple surveillance of citizens for public security purposes, intelligent video surveillance is aimed at other sectors and revealing its range of potentialities. This is particularly true in terms of urban planning (territory management, smart cities) and mobility.
Traffic monitoring and video engineering
In Switzerland, the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), for example, has a video surveillance system for highways that allows the detection of incidents and the reading of license plates to facilitate the work of the police in case of an accident. The system, which operates on a private network, is totally isolated from the Internet. A first security layer to protect the collected data. Softcom contributes to the development of these technologies. For more than ten years, we have been developing custom software for video surveillance of highways.
In 2017, our experts developed the modular and scalable solution called Expic. This offers a wide range of tools for monitoring motorized traffic. But how? Expic is based on a distributed architecture using all the tools and software components of the Microsoft Orleans solution.This framework allows us to build video management systems (VMS), as well as AS-VTV software. The latter have a double function. They allow to send the datas of the motorway cameras, as well as the detected incidents, to the superior system used by the concerned territorial unit.
