An integrated and customised video analytics solution for traffic monitoring
Accidents, gridlocks, speed-drops, road-works and dangerous behaviour often impact heavily on road, motorway and tunnel efficiency and safety. AiVu-Smart AID is Aitek’s video-analytics solution to real-time detection of threats to traffic and infrastructure safety.
AiVu-Smart AID processes live or recorded footage from IP cameras positioned in key traffic areas, both in town and along road routs. By integrating existing video-surveillance systems, through a set of smart traffic monitoring functionalities, critical situations and on-going traffic changes can be managed promptly and effectively.
Video Content Analysis and Automatic Incident Detection algorithms supply users with real-time alerts to traffic anomalies as well as significant statistical data – such as vehicle counting or size classifying – that aid traffic-flow analysis. AiVu-Smart AID is able to integrate asset monitoring and management systems.
Thanks to know-how matured from the development of applications able to accommodate the needs and requirements of our domestic and international customers, AiVu-Smart AID is a video-analytics solution best-suited to toll-road operators and large system integrators managing large volumes of data and video.
The benefits of AiVu-Smart AID
- Customised video-analytics algorithms
- Easily expandable with new functionalities
- User-friendly web-based configuration interface that does not require specific know-how
- In case of variations in video camera positioning, full functionality may be restored simply by re-defining the virtual sensors
- 24/7 monitoring of complex and extended road networks
- Real-time detection of critical situations and support with decision-making aimed at pro-active problem-solving
- Increased operational efficiency, minimal operational stops
- Reduced turn-around response times
- Supports the control centre and emergency intervention teams
- Automatic forwarding of alarms and relevant recordings to the control centre and to hand-held devices
- Acquiring and processing statistical data for reporting and business intelligence purposes
User interface
A web-based configuration interface allows users to draw virtual sensors (rules) that activate on all or part of the camera frameshot. Sensor number and type on cameras are easy to modify. A number of sensors can be configured on a single camera to simultaneously detect different events without altering processing performance.
Video analytics solutions for road and motorway security
AiVu-Smart AID-Stop
Detecting stationary vehicles and/or spilled loads
An alarm signal is generated each time stationary objects or vehicles are detected within a configured sensor area for longer than a defined time. AiVu SmartAID-Stop detects vehicles or objects stationing on carriageway and/or inside tunnels.
AiVu-SmartAID-Position
Detecting vehicles in lay-bys or other non-entry areas
An alarm signal is generated each time a person or vehicle transits through a monitored area. This module is best suited to the surveillance of no- or restricted-access areas, such as parking-lots, operations and road-works.
AiVu-SmartAID-Direction
Detecting wrong way vehicles
Detects vehicles transiting in a chosen direction. An alarm signal is generated each time a vehicle transits the wrong way through a sensor-defined area. AiVu-SmartAID-Direction detects vehicles and/or people accessing a monitored area from the wrong way.
AiVu-SmartAID-Queue
Detecting vehicle queues
Generates an alarm signal each time traffic within a sensor-defined area exceedes a configured threshold. This module is best suited to monitor vehicle queues and detect gridlocks or accidents.
AiVu-SmartAID-Speed
Detecting speed drops
Detects speed drops within a sensor-defined area. An alarm is generated each time the average speed of vehicles transiting through a sensor falls below a configured threshold for longer than a defined time. This module is best suited to manage vehicle flow and detect gridlocks or accidents.
AiVu-SmartAID-Smoke & Fire
Smoke and fire detection
Verifying the presence of smoke in the monitored area. This module is best suited for the monitoring of roadway tunnels.
AiVu-SmartAID-Count
Counting vehicles
Counts vehicles transiting through a sensor-defined area. This newly devised technology replaces existing, easily-damaged, induction-coils embedded in the tarmac. This module is best suited for counting transit flows along a selected lane or through a selected access-gate.
AiVu-SmartAID-Ranger
Interdistance measurement
Automatic estimation of the interdistance between vehicles (in metres). This modules allows to acquire data about traffic conditions along a road infrastructure (real-time measurement of the interdistance between two vehicles, minimum and maximum interdistance values detected by the virtual sensor and average calculation).
AiVu-SmartAID-Metric
Classifying vehicles by size
Automatic classification of vehicles by size. This module is best suited to classify vehicles transiting through a defined virtual sensor (up to 7 vehicle categories, from motorcycles to trucks).
AiVu-SmartAID-Cover
Camera covering
Detects camera obscuration incidents (vandalism, dirty lenses and obstructions) that prevent video-analytics.
AiVu-Smart AID-Tamper
Camera moving or tampering
Detects camera movements that prevent video-analytics. This module is best suited to detect vandalism.
