NVA Analytics Features
NVA offers several analytic enhancement solutions designed to provide comprehensive data about vehicles and traffic. Whether you need to identify a particular vehicle’s license plate or its characteristics for security, law enforcement, or record-keeping, NVA’s analytics can be an ideal solution.
Additionally, their technology extends to traffic monitoring with features like traffic light compliance and speed detection. This allows for effective enforcement of traffic policies, whether during construction periods with temporary traffic lights or in areas with frequent traffic violations.
Take a look below at some of the video analytics technologies available…
Traffic Analytics - Average Speed
Traffic Analytics –
Average Speed
NVA Speed Detection is a standalone licensable product designed to accurately measure the average speed of vehicles across one or more areas. This advanced solution can operate using a single camera to track speed within a scene or can integrate multiple cameras to calculate average speed over time. For optimal performance, the system works best with a front-on view of vehicles, allowing precise comparison to the road surface.
This technology is highly effective in Smart Cities and large industrial areas, where it plays a crucial role in enforcing speed limit policies and enhancing traffic management.
Features & Benefits
- Average Speed Over Time From a Single or Multiple Cameras
- Single Pass Calibration
- 90%+ Accuracy
- Multiple Integration & Reporting Options
- Bi3 Dashboard & Data Engine Compatible
Traffic Analytics - Instant Speed
Traffic Analytics –
Instant Speed
NVA Instant Speed Detection is a standalone licensable product designed to accurately measure the speed of vehicles at a single point. This cutting-edge solution uses advanced technology to provide precise speed readings instantly when a vehicle passes a specific spot. For optimal performance, the system works best with a front-on view of vehicles, allowing for an accurate comparison to the road surface.
This technology is highly effective in Smart Cities and large industrial areas, where it plays a crucial role in enforcing speed limit policies and enhancing traffic management.
Features & Benefits
- Instant Speed From a Single Camera
- Single Pass Calibration
- 90%+ Accuracy
- Multiple Integration & Reporting Options
- Bi3 Dashboard & Data Engine Compatible
Traffic Analytics - Vehicle Recognition
Vehicle Analytics –
Vehicle Recognition
NVA Vehicle Recognition technology allows you to collect, measure, and track various data points of vehicles, including make, model, and colour. This versatile tool can also classify vehicles into categories such as van, truck, car, motorcycle, and bicycle. As a separately licensable analytics feature, it can correlate license plates with vehicle make, model, and colour to detect false plates, making it a powerful tool for identifying stolen vehicles or suspicious behaviour.
Additionally, the classification feature is invaluable for tracking vehicles and supporting data-driven decisions related to roadworks and clean air zones. This comprehensive solution enhances traffic management, security, and urban planning initiatives.
Features & Benefits
- High Accuracy Identifies 7500 Models
- Zero Calibration
- High Speed Operation
- Real Time Reporting
- Bi3 Dashboard & Data Engine Compatible
Traffic Analytics -Traffic Light Compliance
Traffic Analytics –
Traffic Light Compliance
The red light detection is conducted through CCTV image recognition, eliminating the need for a wired connection to the traffic lights. This makes it ideal for use with temporary traffic lights, enhancing worker safety. Additionally, the solution can be configured to operate over multiple lanes, with the ANPR camera positioned behind vehicles to capture clear pictures and evidence.
Features & Benefits
- Opto-isolated Red-light Detection
- Multi-lane Support
- ANPR of Violating Vehicles
- High Accuracy, Multi Camera Support
- Bi3 Dashboard & Data Engine Compatible
Traffic Analytics - ADR
Vehicle Analytics –
ADR – Dangerous Goods Detection
ADR stands for “Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route,” the European standard that mandates the display of orange ADR plates on the front and rear of vehicles transporting dangerous goods.
NVA’s ADR Recognition system identifies the Hazard Identification Number (HIN) and the 4-digit UN Kemler Code, significantly enhancing site safety and emergency response on motorways and in tunnels. By accurately and automatically identifying vehicles carrying hazardous materials—such as radioactive, corrosive, and flammable substances—emergency responders can quickly understand the potential risks and respond appropriately, ultimately saving time and lives.
Features & Benefits
- High Accuracy Ready Two-Line Plates
- Complex Scenario Support
- High Speed Operation
- Multiple Integration & Reporting Options
- Bi3 Dashboard & Data Engine Compatible
Optical Character Recognition
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an advanced AI algorithm designed to identify irregular text on various surfaces, even in inconsistent locations. Once grammar rules for the text you wish to detect, track, and record are clarified to the algorithm, you can set up a camera to consistently identify, isolate, and record this information.
OCR is a versatile solution with hundreds of practical applications for streamlining and optimising processes, as well as tracking people, vehicles, and objects through a non-intrusive CCTV-based AI algorithm.
OCR – People & ID Badges
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is an ideal solution for detecting ID badges and uniform markings. When a person or badge passes through a camera zone or funnel point, OCR can identify, register, and record this information, allowing for efficient tracking of personnel across a site. Additionally, this technology can be integrated with booking systems for seamless operations.
Furthermore, NVA’s OCR solution excels in low-light scenarios and on non-conventional surfaces, as demonstrated in the cow tag tracking example below. This versatility makes it a valuable tool for various applications, ensuring accurate and reliable data collection in diverse environments.
OCR – Vehicle Tracking
OCR is particularly powerful because it can accurately identify tracking codes on irregular surfaces such as containers or vehicles, ensuring reliable data capture regardless of the surface type. This technology enhances operational efficiency by providing real-time tracking and traceability of assets throughout their journey.
OCR – Object & Material Tracking
OCR’s ability to extract and interpret text from camera scenes enables seamless integration into logistics and inventory management systems. It ensures accurate data capture and real-time visibility of material movements, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs associated with manual tracking methods.
