Vialseg, the leading provider of traffic speed enforcement systems for the private and public sectors in Argentina came up with the innovative idea of combining two cameras and a robust license plate recognition (LPR) solution - and as a result they combined forces with Vivotek´s local distributor Selnet and LPR software partner Neural Labs to intelligently solve the issue. Vialseg then developed the system and software based on technology provided by Vivotek, and its revolutionary H.265 3-megapixel box type network camera IP9171-HP (AB6117-HP).

Working hand in hand with experts in License Plate Recognition (LPR), Neural Labs, Vialseg and its partners developed a system in which the Vialseg Red-Light Enforcement system utilises high resolution imagery taken from the IP9171-HP (AB6117-HP) cameras and using Vialseg custom made software apply this image to Neural Labs’ LPR software to analyse the traffic light status (red/yellow/green) and vehicle position in the intersection to detect whenever a vehicle violates a red light. Traffic officials will then receive all imagery automatically to use as evidence in the prosecution of such violations.

The red light enforcement systems are already applied in the cities of Escobar, Moreno, Necochea and Coronel Pringles, all in the Buenos Aires Province, the largest both in size and population in Argentina, and the system is expanding continuously. Plans to continue deploying systems in the city of Buenos Aires and other major metropolis are underway, with estimation for over 100 systems to be installed during 2017.

Acting as the system’s vital eyes, Vivotek’s IP9171-HP (AB6117-HP) is a brand-new professional H.265 box network camera offering up to 30 fps at 3-megapixel with superb image quality and provides accurate identification of license plates in any conditions. Its unique Corridor View function allows capturing panoramic images of the traffic light and intersection in a much efficient way. The IP9171-HP is a true day & night Zoom camera; it supports to point at a smaller area of the intersection to identify the vehicle using LPR and with infrared lighting feature to improve license plate reading under bad lighting conditions and overnight.
