2018: Expansion of presence in Russian regions

On November 28, 2018 the Vokord company reported that it increased the presence in Russian regions, having integrated the systems of intellectual control of traffic VOCORD Traffic and weight and dimensional control of trucks. According to the company, in 2018 the quantity of the posts of control equipped with VOCORD Traffic in the Kaliningrad region increased by 9. Federalnaya Highway "Caspian Sea" is equipped with 5 complexes in the Astrakhan region. 6 posts appeared on the highway "Vyatka" in the Komi Republic and 6 more - on the Volga highway in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The VOCORD Traffic complexes are set on federal highways with high intensity of the movement. Consolidation of two systems – photovideo fixing and weight and dimensional control - provides ample opportunities of control of traffic flows, interferes with destruction of a roadbed and increases traffic safety.

The integrated solution for dynamic weighing of cars constructed based on functionality of the VOCORD Traffic system successfully is applied on the backup Belarus MoscowMinsk of the route M1 "-". Further implementation of ITS will make the solution Vokorda a part of future intelligent transport system Moscow region.

The VOCORD Traffic system controls traffic flow, tracing maximum permissible load of a roadbed which is defined by regulations of the Russian Federation. Lump of the moving car and an axle load is automatically determined. The acquired information is transferred to the ASUDD managing block. If the vehicle is overloaded, it goes for control weighing. After that the instruction about a penalty or prohibition on the further movement is on site taken out.

The integrated solution for fixing of the overloaded vehicles based on the VOCORD Traffic system works at roads of Russia not the first year. The unsatisfactory road condition increases accident rate. Our solution helps to prevent destruction of a roadbed and by that to increase safety of participants of the movement.

The processed interface for remote setup

Completely processed system interface Vokord-Traffic has a number of fundamental differences from the previous versions and allows to perform tuning of the intersection remotely – from the remote workstation. Setup is made via the central server, and its parameters are applied at all intersections which are in an area of responsibility one CAFAO (The Center of the Automated Fixing of Administrative Offences) at once.

Essential advantage of the new interface is also the uniform editor of export which allows to generate any kinds of reports on violations. The different document formats of evidential base, fonts, signatures, etc. which, depending on the region, have a number of distinctions are also provided in it and can change over time. Thus, making changes in templates is made once on all points of control at the same time.

In the new system interface Vokord-Traffic is not required to create manually additional configurations for setup of the equipment. Loading of a tree of devices which includes the controller, survey cameras, cameras of recognition of numbers of vehicles and an input distribution equipment is made automatically.

Let's especially note that now functions which were implemented in separate applications and utilities, for example, setup of a zone of intersection of the stop line, a zone of driving through red light or a lane earlier are entered to the single interface of setup. Management of scaling of the image is supported.

Unified register of the Russian programs

All product line of Vokord company is included in the Unified register of the Russian programs for electronic computers and databases (the register of domestic software). The systems of security VOCORD FaceControl, VOCORD FaceControl 3D, VOCORD Traffic and the software products VOCORD Tahion, VOCORD Phobos and also the first universal specialized software for detailed systems analysis of a photo and video content of the VOKORD Video expert, were recognized conforming to the requirements approved by order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1236 of November 16, 2015.

2016: Vokord-Traffic A

On July 29, 2016 the Vokord company announced certification of a product for fixing of violations of traffic regulations Vokord-Traffic A.

The hardware-software complex of control of traffic for measurement of average speed under the name Vokord-Traffic A is intended for measurements of average speed of the movement of the vehicles (V) on sections of roads^[1].

At the heart of a complex operation principle - measurement of motion speed of the CU on rectilinear segment of the road between two cameras mounted consistently at the beginning and the end of section. Cameras will recognize number of the CU, fix time of entrance and departure then a system calculates the average speed of its movement on this section.

Developers characterize Vokord-Traffic A as the system of high accuracy of measurements (limits of the allowed relative error of measurements of motion speed of the CU of ±1%, limits of the allowed absolute error of determination of time of fixing of the CU ±1 milliseconds) at the range of the measured speeds - from 1 to 300 km/h.

Today Vocord is the only producer offering a complete line of control systems of traffic and violations of traffic regulations. Measurement of average speed is the most effective method of fight for decrease in accident rate and death rate on roads, especially on such difficult sections of roads as platforms, bridges and tunnels. The social importance of the work done by us is very important for the company: on the sections controlled by systems Vokord-Traffic, the total number of violations of traffic regulations decreased several times, and accident rate – more than by 25%. Systems Vokord-Traffic successfully work in different regions of the country and thanks to our algorithms of recognition do it with a high accuracy and reliability.

Thus, we managed to reduce significantly such critical parameter for investors and owners of systems as total ownership cost the photovideo fixing equipment. All this promises to make this solution the leader of the Russian market of fixing of traffic regulations. Will not be exaggeration to tell that we came to absolutely new qualitative technology round".

The Vocord Traffic R and T systems on two and on four bands of traffic are available in execution, traditional for this type of the equipment, - in the form of a set of components and in the monoblock solution.

VOCORD Traffic fixes the weight of vehicles

On April 27, 2015 the Vokord company announced VOCORD Traffic upgrade - a system learned to fix vehicles which weight exceeds maximum permissible loads of a roadbed, according to regulations of traffic regulations of the Russian Federation.

The functionality of a system of photo and video fixing of violations of traffic regulations of VOCORD Traffic is implemented within integration of the product VOCORD Traffic with the systems of dynamic weighing of cars (Weight-in-motion) set on the roads Russia, including on one of the first toll highways of M1 Belarus MoscowMinsk"-".

According to specialists of Vocord, VOCORD Traffic integrated with Weight-in-motion systems represents the innovative solution opening new opportunities in the field of traffic control. The functionality of the VOCORD Traffic system in completely automatic mode helps to identify the vehicle, to determine its lump and an axle load without the need for a car stop at a speed more than 200 km/h.

A system also creates penalties for exceeding of admissible weight parameters.

As a part of the integrated solutions functioning on the basis of the VOCORD Traffic system and Weight-in-motion technology the specialized cameras VOCORD NetCam4 which are specially developed by Vokord company for recognition of car numbers are used.

All information on the identified vehicle is transferred to the ASUDD managing block then the car exceeding maximum permissible loads of the road goes to the special platform for control weighing and decision about a penalty or withdrawals of the car from traffic flow.

For April 27, 2015 the integrated solution for weight control of cars created on the basis of functionality of the VOCORD Traffic system found application on one of the first paid roads in Russia – route M1 Belarus Moscow-Minsk. A system helps to control 99% of traffic flow regarding exceeding by transport of an allowable load on the road that considerably reduces the probability of emergence of the road accidents, protects a paving from premature wear.

"The new integrated solution for fixing of the overloaded vehicles constructed on the hi-tech Russian equipment of Vokord company will allow to increase significantly security on roads and also to reduce costs for expensive repair of a paving, - Alexey Kadeyshvili, the technical director of the company of Vocord told. – It is promoted in many respects by unique features of the VOCORD Traffic system, including high reliability of recognition of car numbers in dark and daylight and also in difficult weather conditions".

VOCORD Traffic identifies the CU in night-time

On July 9, 2015 the Vokord company announced additional functionality of the VOCORD Traffic system - identification of vehicles in night-time and difficult weather conditions.

The technology of hands-off processing of images allows to recognize numbers of the car, to receive well distinguishable image of the vehicle in night-time and difficult weather conditions.

The received high-quality photographic materials can form evidential base for confirmation of the fact of the violation of traffic regulations made at night day or in difficult weather conditions.

Operation of the VOCORD Traffic system at night day does not require additional installation of special lighting and integration of the third-party equipment.

VOCORD Traffic is simple in installation and system maintenance, provides recognition of numbers of vehicles of the different countries and formats. VOCORD Traffic effectively identifies the "hidden" license plate numbers: a system it is impossible to deceive, having stuck number with an infrared film, a bliker or a special grid.

"For the Russian market of video surveillance the problem of high-quality identification of the vehicle in night-time and also in difficult weather conditions is extremely relevant. The modern systems of photo and video fixing working in night-time fix only number of the vehicle while the car in the picture is almost indiscernible that often does not allow to call for responsibility of the violator. Now thanks to our system any machine will not remain unnoticed", - Alexey Kadeyshvili, the technical director of the company of Vocord said.

Results of work of complexes of photo and video fixing Vokord-Traffic

For 2015 the geography of presence of intellectual complexes of photo and video fixing of violations of traffic regulations Vokord-Traffic extended on a third. Road infrastructure of the country in 2015 was equipped with more than 200 boundaries of control of traffic flow and automatic recognition of numbers of vehicles, photofixings of traffic offenses (traffic regulations) at intersections and on straight sections of roads.

Complexes work practically in all territorial subjects of the federation – from the western borders till the boundaries of the Far Eastern Federal District: in Kaliningrad and the Moscow region, in Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Veliky Novgorod, Syktyvkar, Vladikavkaz, Saransk and Omsk, in Novosibirsk, Gorno-Altaysk, Chita, Yakutsk and others. In the most different climatic zones the Vokorda complexes show stable work and save complete functionality in difficult temperature conditions.

Also in 2015 complexes Vokord-Traffic were successfully put into operation in the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Astana – within the program for complex ensuring life activity of the city (SKOZh).

According to the statistical data collected by Vokord's specialists, everywhere where multifunction automatic systems of control of traffic Vokord-Traffic are installed – and it is nearly 30 regions of Russia – the accident rate and death rate among participants of traffic decreased more than by 25%. Total number of violations on some sections decreased more than twice in the first months of system operation, and cases from the death is not registered in general.

2014: Vocord Traffic. Description

VOCORD Traffic is a full-function control system of traffic which allows:

• Recognize numbers of cars (GRZ CU)
• Detect violations of traffic regulations:

- Speeding
- Exceeding of average speed on road section
- Journey on a red signal traffic light/departure out of the stop line
- Intersection of a solid line
- Driving into the oncoming lane
- The parking and a stop in not put place
- Violations at journey of intersections and moving

• Messages automatic search in bases of search and other databases of traffic police
• Export data to the IC traffic police for the statement of penalties or create penal receipts directly in a system
• Collect statistics for management of traffic

The system of video fixing of violations of traffic regulations VOCORD Traffic at the same time solves 3 problems: recognition of numbers, fixing of violations of traffic regulations and analyst of traffic. All these functions are implemented in the uniform hardware and software system made by one producer. You should not integrate the equipment and the software of different suppliers or to buy in addition add-on modules for each task.

Advantages

• Analytics of traffic flows and matrix of correspondence
• The VOCORD Traffic system in the automated mode collects statistics:

- Average speed of a flow
- Average flux density
- The number of the cars which passed through boundaries

Unlike other systems of photofixing of violations of traffic regulations which are in the Russian market VOCORD Traffic not only collects statistics of road flows, but also detects "incidents" on the road:
- Accidents
- "Traffic jams"
- Stops of vehicles
- Pedestrians on the road

These data allow to build matrixes of correspondence of traffic. With their help it is possible to construct the intelligent system of management of traffic capable to quickly monitor and predict traffic congestion.

• Adaptation under work on high-speed roads
• Specialized cameras for recognition of numbers
• It completely blocks up to 4 lanes without "blind zones"
• High reliability of recognition
• Convenience of installation and maintenance

Intellectual complexes of photo and video fixing of violations of traffic regulations Vokord-Traffic work at road intersections in the cities and settlements practically of all territorial subjects of the federation – from the western borders till the boundaries of the Far Eastern Federal District. Vokord-Traffic fixes such violations as journey on an inhibit signal of the traffic light, driving into the oncoming lane of the movement, arrival for the stop line, the turn from the prohibited row, not admission of the pedestrian and others.
