Turkish traffic management

by Mark Rowe

A case study of cameras in support of a traffic management system in the city of Izmir in Turkey.

The Full Adaptive Traffic Management system provides real-time integrated traffic management as a means of reducing traffic jams and increasing road safety.

The Samsung SNP-6320H Full HD 32 x optical zoom PTZ speed domes installed at key locations around the city are providing high definition images in support of field devices such as detectors, signal transmitters, traffic signals and control devices. Collectively, they provide the ability to measure the volume of traffic at crossroads and enable signal times to be adjusted in real-time in order to minimise traffic congestion.

The domes, which have an auto-tracking feature, are weather-proof and have heaters powered by PoE+ to withstand low temperatures, as well as a Digital Image Stabilization feature which negates the effects of vibration. Images are recorded onto Samsung’s SRN-4000 64 channel Network Video Recorders (NVRs). These are able to simultaneously record and multi-stream the transmission of images at a high bandwidth speed of 400Mbps and have an onboard storage capacity via 12 hot-swappable internal hard drives.

Images are sent to a control room. They can also be viewed by the public via the web, TV, Internet and social media channels.

The speed domes are also helping Izmir to monitor public transport and emergency service vehicles. In total,1,500 buses as well as 100 ambulances and 164 fire trucks will wirelessly communicate with signalised crossroads and their movements will be monitored with the help of the speed domes, as part of a traffic priority system. The traffic management system has been fitted by EDS Elektronik, a Samsung distributor, with the systems installer, Mavi Güvenlik.
