Public Transit bus monitoring system solution and case study

1. Public Transit bus monitoring system solution and case study

Public buses, being a major part of public transportation system, is closely related to the safety of the people’s lives and the development and stability of the social economy. Nowadays it is also a public social security issue that is highly valued. We ICarVisions, based on more than a decade of experience in developing and implementing video surveillance for public transportation, have developed a wide series of powerful solutions that can solve many potential issues which had troubled the fleet operators, drivers, and passengers, to offer a more secure, more efficient and more profits environment for the whole society.

What challenges our mass transit solutions can solve?

• Security Concerns: prevent crime and accidents like vandalism, pickpocketing, traffic incidents; And can also monitor and warn drivers irregular driving behavior like fatigue driving, distracted driving, over-speed, sharp turn, idling, etc.;
• Management Efficiency: real-time GPS tracking, historical tracking data, vehicle Geo-fence on the map, data analyzing from platform reports, arranging more effective bus scheduling;
• More Profit: prohibiting driver abnormal driving habits to save extra oil consumption; controlling measures of fare fraud; reduce network traffic cost for data uploading.

4. How does the system work?

• Real-time data from recorder installed on each vehicle will be transmitted to the central server system via 3G/4G when the bus is running on the road. People can have access to the recorder real-time data remotely via the IVMS platform and App.
• The central server ( including the WiFi downloading server where the recorded files will be uploaded ) is installed at the facility where the vehicles return and park overnight. And a wireless network is set up at this place which has configured to connect to the central server and provide access points in the bus lot.
• When a vehicle returns to the facility and is in the wireless network range, the Wi-Fi radios on each vehicle automatically connect to the access points - directly transmitting any scheduled, automatic event-based, or end-user requested video contents to the WiFi downloading server wirelessly and cost-effectively.

Computers connected to the server via Cellular/Wi-Fi and using the IVMS client software or MDVRPlayer playback software can quickly and easily search the video database on selected criteria. Besides the basic video contents, end-users can also get extensive email alerts and MDVR system reports like the mileage report, alarm reports speed report, etc., recorder health reports based on the operator’s requested.

Fuel sensor for oil management

——> Advantage of Ultrasonic fuel level sensor

High accuracy：

Resolution of sensor’s measurement for fuel height is 0.1mm.And its measurement accuracy is ±0.5%. It keeps higher accuracy even in highest or coldest outside environment.

Excellent stability：

Being different from direct-contact measurement like float-type,pressure-type,magnetic sliding-type, untrasonic fuel level sensor adopts non-contact measurement, which can avoid pollution and corrosion from fuel and keep stability in a long period of time.

Easy installment and maintenance：

Users only need to install the sensor probe on lower surface of fuel tank,don’t need to change its original measurement system or punch hole for it. Its original fuel meter operates as usual.

——> Technical parameters

——> Application range

The ultrasonic fuel level sensor is used for digital recording vehicle refueling, to prevent driver stealing oil , avoid the waste of resources, improve operational efficiency, and improve the traffic safety, strengthen the operation and management level.

This sensor is applicable to various types of vehicles ,especially for long-distance buses/coach/

Tour bus.

Police Car monitoring system solution and case study

Why do we need MDVR security management for the police vehicle ?

Police vehicle MDVR monitoring solution with the basic functions for example vehicle tracking and record video in the entire process of the operation. In this way, it can prevent the police from breaking the law and regulations when they handling the incident. All the data can be used as evidence to distinguish responsibilities when police officers conflict with the crowd thus to supervise police officers so it can build a good reputation of the government. With the 4G wireless monitoring system, police officers centre room can check the geographic location and operation status of police cars in real-time through the software, but also have notification when emergencies happened.

4 channels is important for the police vehicle

The first camera JA-MC900 with dual lens will be use to record of the driver and forwarding. It can be used to trigger recording and take the photo. MDVR will upload the data to the system through 4G. so that the police car is no longer just a separate vehicle, but also a temporary command centre. The first camera plays an important role when identifying pedestrians and vehicles around. The intelligent forensics has greatly released the pressure of traffic law enforcement.

The second camera JA-MC510 is focusing on the cabin area where we have to monitor the prisoner.

The 4th channels camera JA-MC018 is take care of the rear view area.

Hardware Configuration

Configure the WiFi automatic download server in the parking lot, which the MDVR can automatically upload the video to the server storage.

WiFi auto-download is a perfect wireless solution to store the video data. In this case, the user doesn’t need to go to the parking lot and take out the HDD or SD card from the MDVR.

About Platform monitoring center software management

The server monitoring centre composed of the IVMS server group, IVMS management software, client software.

The monitoring centre software platform composed of the IVMS server software, IVMS client software, and App. It will work through the public or private network as the data source which can realize real-time monitoring remotely. Include recording, and snap picture of multiple vehicles at the same time. Also you can do video search, download, analysis playback. The control centre can get useful alarm information, combined with GIS electronic map quickly. It can realize the intercom between the driver through the platform after configuring the digital intercom.

MDVR Player software

Similar vehicles security management

4 channels MDVR solution not only can be used for police vehicle but also can be use for below similar vehicles which need 3/4 channels or 5 channels cameras.

MDVRs models for police or similar vehicle

JS2-HD-GFW is SD card model which can support 2 pcs SD card and allow you to connect 4 pcs 720p AHD cameras.

JH0-GFW is a mini SSD MDVR with waterproof IP67 function.

JH4-Hybrid-GFW HDD MDVR can support 4 pcs 1080P IP cameras.

JH4-HD-GFW HDD MDVR support 4 channels 1080P AHD cameras.

Most of the clients prefer HDD Mobile DVR than SD card MDVR. They may need to restore more than 20 days video when the SD card MDVR with memory capacity limited. But the SD card MDVR with a smaller size than HDD MDVR so it could be an advantage for these police vehicle with limited space to do MDVR installation.
