With its hard shoulder module in the Argoscan
MS multi-static range of detection software,
ARGOVISION has extended the means available
for
video detection in traffic management from static cameras to dynamic
cameras.
Argoscan "keeps an eye" on the
sections that have already been checked by
the operator until the visual analysis stage
has been completed.
Thus, Argoscan supports the operator perfectly in the decision
whether the all-clear can be given or not.

The release of the hard shoulder for moving
traffic is one ofthe most innovative and workable concepts
for thestandardisation of trans-European transport.
It has beenrealised successfully in combination with
Argovisioncomponents in Germany and other countries for
more than15 years.With Argoscan, plettac now releases the logical softwaresupport for this method.The first scan software for multistatic applications
allows,in combination with dynamic cameras, a large
and variable
number of individual positions to be analysed. Argoscan bridges the time gap during the
operator's visualcheck by analysing the pictures digitally
in the
background, therefore Argoscan is the optimal support for the operator to check the hard shoulder before
giving theall-clear for it to be used by moving traffic.

Live view on a working monitor
Gappless reproduction of the motorway section
for means of visual detection and remote
control (duration depending on the length
of the section, up to 30 minutes).
Intelligent
scanning in the background
-
Periodical scanning of sections that have
already been checked by the operator until
the visual check is finished (duration ca.90
secounds per one camera tour)
-
Video detection and automatic image evaluation
-
Sorting out of irrelevant "problems"
(umbra shadows, lane infringments e.g. by
trucks etc)
Event presentation
- Presentation of detected problems
- Display with event pictures and/or event
list
- Additional information (camera number, section
kilometers, date and time)
Event evaluation
- Selection of the alarm triggering picture
- Free navigation within the video recording
(forward/backwards, first/last picture etc)
- Parallel live and past view
- Control of the visual field of the dynamic
camera (zoom, focus) to allow an assessment
to be made
Argoscan at-a-glance:
- Greater saftey thanks to minimised constant
"time gap" of ca.90 sec
- Less strain on the operator, meaning that
the operator is free to analyse detection
results without pressure of time
- User friendly presentation with parallel
live and past view
- Optical zoom for verification purposes
- Drastic reduction in hardware requirements
by the application of dynamic cameras
- Drastic reduction in associated cost of infrastructure
- Potential for additional use for further
traffic analyses and monitoring
