Seaway International Bridge Corporation operates the international toll bridge system linking Cornwall, Ontario, Akwesasne and Massena, New York. It handles more than 2,400,000 transits annually and is a vital transportation route in the region. Bridge operators faced drivers traveling at high speeds through toll lanes, as well as vandalism of security lighting used for surveillance monitoring. They required a solution to help deter unlawful activity and improve safety for all drivers and bridge personnel.
Infrared illuminators enable PTZ domes to provide night-time video of restricted areas without visible light – discouraging vandalism
Problem: Unlawful activity risks safety and security
- High-speed drivers moving through toll lanes create unsafe conditions for other travelers
- Bridge operators must provide police with irrefutable identification of license plate and driver for prosecution
- Vandals disabling flood lights hinders surveillance monitoring of restricted areas with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) domes
Solution: Bosch REG-L1 License Plate Capture cameras and Aegis SuperLED Illuminators with PTZ Domes
- REG cameras provide high-resolution plate images from vehicles moving at speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour – day and night
- Ambient Rejection technology overcomes reflectivity, glare, headlights, darkness and speed
- Facial recognition cameras capture drivers through the windshield
- SuperLED Infrared Illuminators with 3D Diffuser and Constant Light technology supply even lighting with reliable illumination levels for installed pan-tilt-zoom domes
Results: Reliable plate capture and night surveillance
- Cameras capture plate and driver images to help identify Highway Traffic Act violators
- Successful prosecution deters other drivers from unlawful activity, virtually eliminating erratic behavior
