Tricity, in Polish Trójmiasto, is an urban area consisting of three major northern Polish cities —  Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot, situated adjacent to one other on the coast of the Gdansk Bay, Baltic Sea; covering an area of 414.81 square kilometres, accommodating nearly 1 million commuters each day. These three cities are tagged with multiple identities, such as modern metropolis, busy harbour and amazing resort. As cities keep expanding and naturally, their rising obesity leads to a major traffic concern — congestion. Its urban inner highway, which is the transport backbone, accommodating nearly 1 million commuters every day and people are spending more and more time on the road. In order to better manage the city traffic needs and solve out the congestion, the local authority decided to use intelligent traffic system (ITS) to better improve traffic in the city and also people can have better efficiency of their work and life. The project started in 2010, Dahua’s customisation satisfied the end-user since it is quite suitable for the local market because of its great performance, easy installation and good price. The adopted ITS systems integrate Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPRs), red light enforcement, speed systems, green waves as a whole in order to regulate driving behaviours and fight against traffic jams. For ANPR systems, Dahua 1.4-megapixel and 11-megapixel HD traffic cameras are adopted at intersections on main roads, taking care of the snapshot of front and back side of the vehicle respectively. Moreover, both loops and video detection are used to improve accuracy. As for speeding violations, speed systems are installed and approved by metrology law to make fines to control urban driving speed and improve road safety. "With Dahua's good quality and services, all the projects we have done proven its stability and greatly facilitate cities’ traffic, leading people a better life" Additionally, to further improve traffic efficiency, green waves are adopted on lights intersection, allowing continuous traffic flow smoothly over several intersections in one main direction, which not only reduces the length and frequency of congestion, but also cuts co2 emissions and improves fuel efficiency of the vehicles, meanwhile, buying more time for pedestrians at crossings. “We already assured different customers in Poland and neighbouring countries to work on ITS projects based on Dahua cameras and detectors,” said Piotr Wisniewski from Radar system, a local distributor in Poland. “With Dahua's good quality and services, all the projects we have done proven its stability and greatly facilitate cities’ traffic, leading people a better life.” “It is a great example that a European city uses Chinese ITS deployment, we appreciate our partner’s trust and the effort they have made,” said Bill Zhou, Senior ITS Engineer at Dahua Technology. “Traffic problem is a common issue for many expanding cities, and our ITS is only helping the city reinforce but also giving a better, smarter and more efficient city.”

Dahua’s DH-ITC304 can cooperate with the all-in-one camera for parking guidance and card finding systems Dahua Technology, a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance products headquartered in Hangzhou, China is proud to announce that its 3.0 megapixel intelligent video spot detector (DH-ITC304) was awarded ITS Golden Lion at ITS 2014; in addition, Dahua Technology, the corporate itself continued to win “China Top 30 ITS Brands” and “China ITS Recommendation Brand” for a third time. ITS 2014, held from 10th to 12th June in Shenzhen, China, gave the highlight on advanced technical equipment and overall integration platform of intelligent transportation as well as system Integration both at home and abroad. Dahua 3.0 megapixel intelligent video spot detector (DH-ITC304) adopts super low illumination sensor, which is perfectly suitable for working at dark or bad lighting environment, its built-in high performance processor satisfies parking spot detection, vehicle recognition and other intelligent functions without additional processing devices. One single DH-ITC304 spot detector is able to detect three standard spots at the same time, which greatly increases efficiency. The device is Wi-Fi or SD card optional, which means that it can cooperate with the all-in-one camera for parking guidance and card finding systems when it has access to internet. Moreover, the seven-colour light is at customer’s choice to easily indicate whether there is any vacant spot or not. “Dahua Technology is not only a world leader in video surveillance, and actually, we’ve started our intelligent traffic business from 2006,” said Bill Zhou, Senior ITS Engineer at Dahua Technology. “Being backed up with strong company strength, Dahua ITS solution and products have a lead on easy installation, configuration and integration with multiple functions provided such as video and image collecting, license plate recognition, rule violence analytics and etc., this award is exactly a good proof to the point.”
