Application Cases

Traffic Management Surveillance System

System Requirements The ITA-3 series is a new traffic management product from Xinmai, designed to meet the demands of road surveillance applications. With the development of urbanization, the importance of this application has increased unprecedentedly. As urban populations and vehicle numbers continue to grow, traffic accidents and crime rates have also risen. Consequently, road surveillance has become a crucial part of municipal infrastructure development. Taking China as an example: the value or demand for road surveillance in 2,000 cities and towns has reached 10 billion USD. Xinmai and its industrial alliance partners have foreseen the immense business opportunities in this vertical market and have developed corresponding solution packages. In surveillance applications, the ITA-3 series excels due to its vibration resistance, wide temperature support, and tolerance for harsh operating environments. Its image processing performance is also particularly outstanding. Furthermore, the ITA-3 series' flexible I/O design enables global system integrators to achieve rapid customization, thereby meeting their localized requirements.

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Systems

System Requirements Transitioning from manual to electronic toll collection, the intelligent, high-performance ITA-3 series systems significantly reduce labor requirements and ensure smooth highway traffic flow, thus playing a crucial role in highway systems. The ITA-3 series already boasts numerous successful ETC cases, particularly in China and Europe, which have not only addressed highway toll collection issues but also improved traffic operational efficiency. The ITA-3 series features an anti-vibration design, supporting operation in wide temperatures and extremely harsh environments. Its ruggedness ensures stable ground control operations while meeting the requirements of partners and system integrators. In addition to stability, the ITA-3 series' advanced computing and image processing capabilities also make it an optimal solution for electronic toll collection applications. Cameras can detect and record license plate numbers of vehicles operating on highways and tag them electronically, then transmit the data to a processing center that calculates tolls and related fees. The ITA-3 series is designed for the ETC market, providing an ideal solution.

License Plate Recognition (LPR) Systems

System Requirements In traffic management, high-performance integrated systems capable of license plate recognition are indispensable tools for traffic information centers. Accurately detecting the license plates of every passing vehicle is key to future electronic toll collection implementation. This can reduce labor requirements, decrease traffic violations and accidents, and effectively resolve these issues when they occur. Therefore, it is crucial for the system to accurately detect, record, process, and transmit large volumes of license plate data 24/7 without interruption, especially during peak hours. Furthermore, during heavy rain or snow, license plate recognition becomes even more challenging, yet effective traffic management control is particularly critical at such times. The high-performance design of the ITA-3 series overcomes these natural challenges, enabling accurate license plate information recognition at all times.

PoE Managed Switches for Road Surveillance

EKI-7000 Series For deploying IP cameras across wide areas, diverse terrains, and strategically important regions, and ensuring secure, high-speed data transmission, Xinmai's Gigabit managed redundant industrial PoE Ethernet switches and wide-temperature support switches are the most suitable solutions. PoE devices provide centralized power, supporting up to 15.4W per port for IP-based surveillance systems. Full managed functionality allows network administrators at the control center to view device status and manage multiple switches, while Gigabit transmission rates ensure high-quality and high-speed image transmission. The Xinmai EKI-7659CPI supports 8 Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports and 2 Gigabit combo ports. Its proprietary redundant network protocol provides advanced ring topology, which reduces communication failures and accelerates recovery, thereby offering higher network reliability.
