Description

The invention relates to a mobile electronic control system (Mobile ECS) and is designed as an alternative technology in order to realize the following in areas that are impossible to be monitored continuously and that are out of the fixed traffic violation detection system spots,

to avoid traffic problems caused by parking violations,
to avoid accidents caused by yellow box (scanned area) crossroads security control and overspeed in certain spots,
to protect the security of life and property of pedestrians and vehicles,
to avoid traffic problems caused by emergency lane and red light violations, and to measure surface roughness and quality of the road.

Operation Structure of the Mobile Electronic Control System

The mobile system catches images where a parking violation is done.
The Mobile Electronic Control System processes the camera images on vehicles and detects parking violations.
It detects certain violations on spots where there does not exist any Emergency Lane violation detection system.
It catches and follows the image in crossroads where the Yellow Box (Scanned Area) or crossroads control is not available or no application is realized.
In the system the speed measurement is done through RADAR (Laser, Doppler, RF) or Image processing technology. With the laser-based speed measurement device in the vehicle, vehicle speECS can be detected. If desired, speed violation detection can be realized through video cameras. In case of a violation, license plate reading process is provided through the camera or video camera image in the system.
All the equipment belonging to the Mobile Electronic Control System functions for 12 hours uninterruptedly, even if the vehicle is locked and in addition by the addition of energy it operates and be monitored for 7/24.
The system is resistant to high heat and tough air conditions, and is able to catch images at night with the support of 4 video cameras in the special design infrared high speed PTZ mobile system.
The vehicle in which the system is installed can be monitored live and real time via the satellite internet or GPRS EDGE connection on the electronic control system spots by the centre.
8-channel real time (30/25 IPS) recording, compatible with Mobile DVR cameras is possible.
The Mobile Electronic Control System vehicle has a hydraulic lever which enables getting images even as high as 4 meters high with the video camera above.
The Mobile Electronic Control System has a sensor that enables getting meteorological data and transmitting these data to the centre when needed.
The roughmeter measures surface roughness, and the portable device measures the quality of the road.

The Communication System

The systems to be installed can realize the recording process in the local system as compatible with the systems in the present traffic control centre, and can be monitored and controlled on the Electronic Control System spots or from the traffic control centre with the GPRS ROUTER.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS;

GPRS ROUTER

High speed UMTS technology realizes the data transfer up to 384 kb/h. This speed is the effective speed for image transferring in the traffic cameras (traffic density, crossroads cameras etc.) or security and monitoring sector (building control etc.).
In addition, High Speed Downlink Package Access Technology increases the speed for downlink up to 3.6 Mb/h. This extra downlink speed enables video recording. If there is no UMTS or HSDPA available, it utilizes the EDGE technology with speed up to 236 Kb/h or the GSM-GPRS technology with speed limited to 85.6 Kb/h.
The main advantage is the extra-high communication speed. Router is designed in a way to operate in professional applications that requires high volume data transfer through mobile wireless networks in short time intervals and is ideal for all camera applications.
Another advantage is that it can be configure on the user-friendly, password-protected web interface (HTTP). In other words, it is possible to configure the parameters of a router on a web browser (MS Explorer, Mozilla-Firefox etc.) anywhere in the world.
