During PARKEX 2015, the parking product and services show at the NEC, Videalert, a UK supplier of digital traffic enforcement and management products, has announced a new strategic partnership with Imtech Traffic & Infra UK (Imtech), a European provider of technical service products to the traffic and infrastructure markets. The two companies are working with Bristol City Council and on several other joint projects.
Tim Daniels, Sales and Marketing Director of Videalert, says: “This partnership extends our reach into the broader traffic management market, further differentiating us from traditional suppliers of inflexible, single point civil traffic enforcement systems. With a proven track record of successful deployments for civil enforcement, traffic management and police VRM surveillance applications, this partnership will provide Local Authorities and Police Forces with a unique proposition to maximise the effectiveness of CCTV and traffic infrastructures, further reducing costs.”
Videalert’s describes its Digital Video Platform as an multipoint solution that uses standard off-the-shelf equipment and integrates with analogue and ONVIF compliant digital megapixel cameras and infrastructure. It delivers the firm claims cost savings to councils by enabling other civil traffic management and enforcement to run at the same time, without having to procure multiple legacy points. This combines ANPR with video analytics to enforce moving traffic offences such as bus lanes, banned turns and box junctions. It can meanwhile provide vehicle plate read data to Police ANPR databases (BOFII) and traffic management systems (UTMC).
Daniel Ruiz, Managing Director of Imtech, says: “Partnering with Videalert will add value to our customers by enabling them to leverage their investments in CCTV and traffic infrastructure, and it provides a valuable addition to our portfolio of intelligent traffic management solutions. The company’s Digital Video Platform gives us the ability to reduce infrastructure complexity, thereby enabling councils to run multiple traffic enforcement and management applications simultaneously. It will allow councils to drive cost out of their operations and increase efficiency.”
