Spotlight on the Vector Integrated ANPR Camera

Posted on 24th April 2014 at 10:23 am.

The Vector Integrated ANPR Camera from MVIS is a highly innovative, industry-leading product.

The camera integrates the pioneering ANPR processor with an advanced imaging system, giving users one, single product and getting rid of the need to separately house a processor at the job location.

The product components, like the pulsed LED illuminators, overview cameras and ANPR processor are capable of combining in a number of flexible variations. As a result, the camera system can be modified to perfectly meet the needs of the client and the job at hand. This flexibility includes any pairing of colour, day-night or monochrome cameras with infrared or illuminators.

The Vector camera can be set up to operate in a number of different ways. It can be programmed to work automatically, which allows it to auto-detect vehicles as they pass the camera’s view. Alternatively, it can be linked to a trigger system, so that the client can record weight in motion capture or only specific types of vehicles.

In addition to offering supreme flexibility, the system is also highly durable, allowing it to operate to the full in all types of weather and lighting conditions. For instance, if the camera is needed to operate when it is dark, pulsed LED illuminators can be set up, in either a visible or covert mode.

The Vector Integrated ANPR Camera comes with the Solar 2014 multi-use trailer platform. This facilitates the flexible combination of a range of our other products and also allows for the mobile transportation of the camera.

A-One+ purchase 10 more signs following previous success

MVIS are delighted to announce that A-One+ have purchased 10 new variable message signs (VMS’s) following our successful partnership in 2013. During A-One+’s recent refurbishment of the A1, there were zero standing traffic related incidents, a result that was squarely attributed to the success of the VMS signs supplied by MVIS.

The operation ran from July-August 2013, with 10 VMS-C variable message signs operational during the A-One+’s refurbishment of the A1 western bypass between Newcastle and Gateshead.

A-One+ credited the highly visible pictograms with ensuring that there were no incidents during the entire 6 week redevelopment. When they had used fixed frame signs during a similar project in2009 there had been several incidents, which is why they turned to us.

The firm have purchased 10 more VMS signs for ta similar project, for use in a semi-permanent capacity on the same stretch of road. This repeat purchase is a testament to the customer’s belief in the capacity the hire signs demonstrated last year and their ability to ensure the safety of road users.

MVIS is delighted that Nottingham City Council has purchased three of our VMS signs to use help manage traffic in their ongoing £1billion infrastructure redevelopment project.

Nottingham has become one of the first European cities to integrate ITS traffic management solutions, incorporating a number of different products and control room service. They have reported that the solution has been exceptionally well received by Nottingham road users.

Our ITS traffic management solution has been implemented to help reduce congestion and delays to journey times during Nottingham’s £1billion redevelopment, which includes major improvements to both the city’s railway station and major junctions on the A453.

Our VMS signs help to inform road users of upcoming road works suggest alternative travel routes so that they can reach their destination on time. Our ITS solutions also incorporates CCTV, so that traffic levels can be monitored throughout the area affected by the road works. All of this equipment is solar powered, which helps to keep maintenance costs down by getting rid of the need for preliminary groundwork.

The purchase of three additional VMS signs indicates the Nottingham City Council have been delighted with the efficacy of the hired signs used to date. We’re happy to have another satisfied customer and we are thrilled with the results we have achieved so far.

For more information on our VMS signs, you can send us an email through our contact page or call us on 01629 580 570.
