T-RED

Red light enforcement system

SWARCO is one of the leading companies worldwide in the development, production and sales of traffic management systems. T-RED is the most innovative and complete monitoring system for red light enforcement. It is completely based on video-cameras in free-running mode, so it does not require magnetic loops, visible flash or analogue film management.

T-RED: POWERFUL – FAST – COST EFFICIENT

T-RED digital system simply detects every vehicle passing at the red light, recognizes its license plate, and stores the compressed video sequence of the passage. The stored colour video ensures complete evidence of the red light violation. T-RED is centralized over TCP/IP to the police control room for easy and fast data collection.

OPERATION

T-RED represents an advancement in red light enforcement. Neither radar, laser or inductive loops are used to measure the vehicle speed. Just simple video technology is required, though simplicity is only found on the front end. The underlying back end is complex and utilizes advanced components including sophisticated algorithms, precise device mechanics, and reliable electronics.

The detecting unit uses two video cameras: a colour camera frames the intersection and monitors the red light status. An infrared camera is responsible for licence plate rendering.
T-RED Server only runs during the red light phase for the recording of violations and to scan the vehicles license plates (50 times a second). The program automatically selects six photos for violation evidence.

When you choose T-RED, you get a reliable solution.
