Citilog's Real Time Automatic Incident Detection System Has Been Deployed for Traffic Management at World's Longest Sea-Crossing Hangzhou Bay Bridge.

Citilog and Chinese Partner - Beijing Navigator Technologies - to Provide the Video-based AID System to Monitor Bridge Traffic, Traffic on South and North Links Leading to Bridge

HANGZHOU BAY, China -- Citilog, a world leading provider of intelligent real time video monitoring and surveillance solutions for traffic, transportation, security and safety management, today announced its MediaRoad[TM] product has been selected by the Hangzhou Bay Bridge operator to provide real time traffic monitoring and management. Spanning 36 kilometers and making it the world's largest sea-crossing bridge, the bridge connects Cixi City, west of Ningbo, to Jiaxing, south of Shanghai. Citilog's automatic incident detection (AID) system is used to monitor traffic on the bridge and on the South and North links that lead to the bridge.

Processing the CCTV videos of the fixed cameras along the bridge, the MediaRoad system is providing real time alarms for stopped vehicles, pedestrians and debris. MediaRoad provides proactive video image processing that identifies incidents when they happen. This allows proactive and more immediate responses to prevent further escalation of the incident or correct incidents rapidly to restore optimum operations. MediaRoad processes analog or IP-encoded video streams and can be used with standard deployed video cameras - color or black and white - with fixed or Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras. It can use existing deployed cameras and therefore does not require camera infrastructure modifications. The monitored area covers up to 400 meters. Using a simple-to-use graphical user interface (GUI), setup, configuration and modifications can be performed quickly. Alarms can be tailored to fit relevant needs, for example on one or several traffic lanes or on a group of cameras.

"Our selection by the Hangzhou Bay Bridge operator to use Citilog's MediaRoad product for this world's largest sea-crossing bridge is continued testament of our ability to meet the largest traffic management needs of any operator around the world," commented Christian Girardeau, CEO of Citilog. "Safety and security requirements that include video-based monitoring and management on such a critical infrastructure as the Hangzhou Bay Bridge are of course of utmost importance, and Citilog has proven time and again it is capable of meeting these requirements around the world."

Opened to traffic on May 2, 2008, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge connects Cixi City, west of Ningbo, to Jiaxing, south of Shanghai. Whereas previously the trip from Ningbo to Shanghai and southern Jiangsu involved a detour of around 400 km, the bridge reduces that distance to 80 km. The S-shaped bridge has three lanes of traffic in each direction and is designed for a 100 km/h speed limit. The bridge is seen as a critical infrastructure within the highway network of the so called 'Golden Triangle.' This golden triangle made up of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo, is considered as one of the hottest economy zones in China. The area of the Yangtze River delta contributes 21 percent of the national gross and has eight percent of the total population in China.
