Advanced Camera Solutions has launched the Autofocus NNP (Number Plate Processor) which has been designed to allow number plate recognition from any existing analogue cameras, whether black and white or colour. The company says this provides existing CCTV systems with a powerful added function at low cost with virtually no added infrastructure costs.

Genetec has released a new version of its IP video surveillance solution, Omnicast. The company says that with this latest release of Version 4.4, customers will experience the advantages of integration with the AutoVu Sharp, Genetec's license plate recognition device, full support of Axis's H.264 product line and Sony's fourth generation of IP cameras. Customers will also benefit from the integration of many other fully supported hardware extensions from numerous technology partners such as Optelecom-NKF,

ODIN is claiming a first in automated technology for tracking critical assets with the launch of the ODIN self-inventorying SMART Container. The company claims the system goes beyond basic security and location tracking for a given container by providing detailed visibility of items inside the container via passive UHF RFID. It can transmit item-level data to any ERP system over various communications media, including satellite, cellular and active RFID.

Tego has announced the availability of its XM high-memory RFID solution, claiming it is the first complete high-memory tag solution that enables asset management over its entire life, including configuration, maintenance and sensor integration for a range of industries.

Daktronics has announced the addition of a new ITS LED display to its current line of widely used Vanguard Dynamic Message Signs (DMS). The Vanguard VM-1020 Dedicated Dynamic Message Sign, or DDMS, is designed to provide a reliable signage solution dedicated to travel time, toll rate (such as high-occupancy toll lanes) and other managed lane applications.

Germany-headquartered PTV claims that the current version of map&guide professional sets new standards for green logistics and transports and provides a wide range of additional useful features. Version 2009 offers what PTV claims is an extremely significant innovation, the emissions calculator, which allows dispatchers to calculate emissions, such as CO2, based on routes. The software uses official data provided by the German Environment Agency for the calculation process. PTV says map&guide professional i

SensorDynamics has launched the SD755 micromechanical combisensor which integrates an automotive integrating gyrometer and accelerometer in a single package. Both sensors transmit their signals over a shared SPI interface that facilitates further processing as well as minimising development time and system costs. The device is ideally suited for applications such as electronic stabilising systems in cars that match the actual road curvature with the angle lock. When there is a difference detected, single wh

Trimble has introduced the Resolution-SMT GPS receiver, a new embedded GPS receiver for timing applications to enable system integrators to add precise GPS to provide location, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and synchronisation to many products or systems where cost or size had previously been a limitation. The device is a complete, ready-to-go timing receiver in a 19x19x2.5mm shielded module. A Starter Kit from Trimble provides everything a designer needs to begin adding state-of-the-art GPS timing capab

RealTraffic Technologies has launched RTTNet, a new video analytics software that allows any surveillance video camera to function as an accurate and reliable traffic sensor

High Sierra Electronics is claiming a unique approach to Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) with the launch of its newest product, the Model 5470 NTCIP Mini-RWIS Remote Processing Unit. This device is the heart of a non-proprietary, open architecture NTCIP-compliant Environmental Sensor Station (ESS), designed for primary deployment within existing or new ATC cabinets and Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) cabinets. The company says this approach allows simpler implementation at a lower cost than traditional i

Optelecom-NKF has announced the Siqura C-60 E-MC, its new flagship encoder, as the world's first hardened, multi-format quad-streaming video server. The Siqura C-60 E-MC is capable of streaming H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MJPEG simultaneously. Each stream is optimised for its purpose, for example using high-quality H.264 or MPEG-2 for live viewing, low-bandwidth H.264 or MPEG-4 for storage and low-resolution MJPEG for web applications or mobile devices such as PDAs.

Mott MacDonald has launched its next generation Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) common database system called Osprey. The company says its extensive experience in UTMC has shaped the Osprey product to meet the challenging demands placed on transport operators in terms of network management. The software is designed to be an end-to-end offering to help local authorities deliver their transport plan objectives. The three main Osprey modules support control room staff in network management, promo

STMicroelectronics has introduced a world first - the market’s first 3-axis digital-output gyroscope that meets the industry-standard qualification for automotive integrated circuits (AEC-Q100). ST’s A3G4250D gyroscope newest angular-rate sensor aims to add positioning accuracy and stability to a wide range of automotive applications, including in-dash navigation, telematics and vehicle tolling systems.
