IP Video Provides Backbone for Bangkok’s Traffic Monitoring

Bangkok’s outer ring road and toll plazas being monitored from the new control room

IndigoVision, the leading supplier of end-to-end IP Video solutions, is providing its technology as a backbone for a new integrated traffic monitoring system for Bangkok’s outer ring road network. Existing toll plaza CCTV surveillance systems located across 45 miles of the ring road have been integrated into a new central control room. Staff in the control room can now view high-quality video from inside and outside of the four toll plaza complexes, providing central monitoring for traffic management and staff safety.

Analog video feeds from the 64 existing dome and fixed cameras are connected to IndigoVision’s 8000 transmitter/receiver modules locally at each toll plaza. The 8000 converts the camera signal to DVD quality, high-resolution digital video for transmission over the newly installed gigabit Ethernet LAN. IndigoVision’s advanced MPEG-4 compression technology ensures that the control staff receive CCTV images that are indistinguishable from analog while minimizing bandwidth on the LAN. Further 8000 modules are installed in the control room to convert selected camera feeds back to analog for display on one of the 16 wall mounted monitors. The system was supplied by Industronics and their partners in Thailand, Smart Traffic Co. Ltd.
