Pedestrian crossings with machine vision appeared in Novosibirsk

2024: Pedestrian crossings with machine vision appeared in Novosibirsk

The first pedestrian crossings using machine vision technologies were introduced in Novosibirsk. This became known on June 25, 2024. New intellectual complexes installed in the Oktyabrsky and Kalininsky districts automatically respond to the approach of pedestrians, ensuring their safety on the roads.

According to the online edition NGS, these complexes are equipped with an artificial intelligence and computer vision system. When a person approaches the roadway, light boards with the inscription "Pedestrian," illumination and horizontal projection of the markup are activated. This allows drivers to notice the pedestrian in a timely manner and reduce speed, especially in the dark.

Anton Loshakov, Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the Novosibirsk Region, noted that such complexes are especially relevant in microdistricts where the installation of traffic lights is inappropriate. He stressed that "such systems are a positive global practice aimed at reducing road traffic injuries."

Three pilot complexes have been installed in Novosibirsk. In the future, their number is planned to increase. According to the online publication NGS, the project is being implemented on behalf of Governor Andrei Travnikov as part of the state program "Construction and development of the hardware and software complex" Safe City "in. The Novosibirsk region " Ministry of Digital Development and Communications of the region together with the Main Directorate MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Russia for the Novosibirsk Region are participating in the implementation of the project.

The use of recordings from CCTV cameras installed at these crossings will also be used in operational-search work, which will increase the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies and general security in the region.^[1]

2023: Equipping buses with AI video cameras to detect debris and holes on the roads

In the Novosibirsk region, buses were equipped with AI video cameras to detect garbage and holes on the roads. On October 31, 2023, the Minister of Digital Development and Communications of the region, Sergei Tsukar, spoke about this pilot project.

According to him, on buses running on the roads of Novosibirsk, Berdsk and Novosibirsk district, autonomous mobile complexes of neural network analytics were installed for visual monitoring of urban facilities and landscaping. The equipment in real time analyzes the state of the road, markings, curbs, the presence of garbage, the content of road signs, the subsidence of sewer hatches, idle lights, overcrowding of garbage containers, illegal graffiti, air conditioners on the facades in the wrong places.

According to Sergey Tsukar, it is planned to create a "personal account" for the heads of municipalities of the Novosibirsk region in the information system "Safe City." According to the results of the analysis of the state of roads and urban facilities, the head of the administration and employees of specialized divisions will be able to quickly respond to alerts in the system and plan repair and restoration work. The launch of the project into mass operation in the Novosibirsk region is scheduled for 2024.

In October 2023, in the region, photo and video cameras began to be mounted at illegal landfills - the equipment fixes the license plate of violating cars, which are issued a fine. Video recording is installed on poles with a permanent power source. The video stream from two entrances is broadcast through a customized personal account, access to which is provided to employees of the regional Ministry of Natural Resources. If they find transport waste in the wrong place, the Ministry of Natural Resources specialists form a statement to the police, in which they attach photos and videos.^[2]

Presentation of the square with elements of "Smart" and "Safe City" in Novosibirsk

The Sitronics expert office in Novosibirsk, deployed in the spring of 2019, on September 5, 2019 presented the first pilot - a square with elements of the Smart and Safe City in the Dzerzhinsky district. Through the joint efforts of the city, municipal authorities and Sitronics as a technology partner, an innovative urban space was created: a green, functional, safe place for comfortable recreation in the center of a rapidly growing district.

Public Wi-Fi, integrated smart video surveillance and video analytics systems, alert systems, emergency communication and charging terminals for electric scooters - in the original green zone plan with Wi-Fi Sitronics integrated Smart and Safe City digital services. In September, on the site of a wasteland near the metro, at the intersection of a number of pedestrian routes at once, a demo zone of a multifunctional public garden was launched: this is a green recreation place for residents of the district, and a pedestrian section safe at any time of the day, and a well-equipped platform for events - an example of creating a high-quality urban environment in a big city.

Sitronics has invested in a flexible infrastructure that will allow you to change the set of services without replacing the main equipment, the city will be able to use the supports for decades. With the help of technologies, we combined the administration's desire to give the district more green areas, the desire of residents to have a recreation area within walking distance, and young people to get city services like Wi-Fi or charging for electric transport, "said Alexey Marukhin, President of Sitronics JSC.

The supports installed in the square on Koshurnikov are a universal multi-module solution, optimal taking into account the tasks set by the city. A "smart" video surveillance system recognizes violators, notices orphaned things and notifies the police, an intelligent lighting system reacts to the weather and saves electricity, emergency communication terminals help to instantly get help in the event of an incident, and color and sound accompaniment - to navigate in the event of an emergency.

The immediate plans of Sitronics in Novosibirsk include the implementation of an intelligent transport system pilot in one of the busy areas of the city by the end of the year.

In the spring of 2019, Sitronics was chosen as a strategic partner of the city of Novosibirsk for the implementation of digital solutions. Together with the city, Sitronics is working on the creation of a unified urban management platform and the implementation of the Smart City project roadmap. At the regional level, Sitronics is a partner of the Novosibirsk region in the implementation of the digital component of national projects.

Agreement on strategic cooperation in the framework of the implementation of national projects

April 8, 2019 Sitronics announced that the President of Alexey Marukhin Sitronics and the Mayor Novosibirsk Elbow Anatoly signed an agreement on strategic cooperation. Sitronics became a strategic partner of the city of Novosibirsk as part of the implementation of national projects. The first step of the partners will be the introduction of a unified urban management platform and the implementation of the project roadmap.

The expert office of Sitronics assigns an important role in the implementation of the project to local companies: within the framework of the forum, an agreement was also signed with the Novosibirsk Institute of Software Systems (NIPS), a resident of Akademgorodok and a company with its own large technological base and production resources.

Alexey Marukhin, President of Sitronics noted:

{{quote 'Sitronics and the city of Novosibirsk signed an agreement on strategic cooperation, which affects a wide range of the company's interests in the implementation of national projects with the participation of investment capital, including the Smart City program.
