Luas Portable Junction CCTV System

Tender description

TII has a requirement for a portable junction CCTV system. The system is envisaged to take the form of a camera which would incorporate intelligent video analytics to recognise when a traffic light is showing a red aspect and which can detect when a vehicle enters particular zones of infringement at the junction. Such an installation must not require a wired connection to the road traffic controller and shall also be battery powered so as to be easily moved from one junction to another, greatly improving the range of information gathered for Luas road intersections. Moving the camera to a new location will require recalibration of the software to recognise the different positions of the road traffic lights and to redefine the zone of infringement. It is a requirement of the system that such recalibration be capable of being performed in-house by TII’s own systems engineers. Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) is the operational name of the merged National Roads Authority and the Railway Procurement Agency. TII is the infrastructure provider for Luas – Dublin’s light rail system – which commenced operations in 2004.
