IT-enabled smart traffic management and smart transportation solutions can prove to be game-changers
A
ccording to statistics, India’s urban population could increase to 814 million by 2050. Currently Indian cities have poor infrastructure, excess population and citizens majorly undisciplined added to the low level of urban infrastructure investment. India spends about $17 per capita annually on urban infrastructure projects, against a global benchmark of $100 and China’s $116. Three years in, India’s smart city program has a long way to go. The Smart City projects include smart transportation, energy-efficient buildings and robust digital connectivity, as well as adequate water and electricity supplies, sound governance and affordable housing. The demand now is for global connected vehicles and improved transport systems for the public. There has never been a more exciting time for India’s artificial intelligence and deep tech ecosystem. Owing to the extensive and swift adoption of intelligent mobility solutions across major cities the smart transportation market has been experiencing lucrative growth in recent years. Several companies are now offering a wide range of security and fire safety equipment design and manufacturing solutions for implementing ‘Smart Transportation’, for upgrading the automotive, highways, tunnels, airways, railways, waterways and metros too. So from conventional transport, India can leapfrog to a shared, electric, and connected mobility future, with huge energy savings. We take this opportunity to thank all the security, safety and fire protection ecosystem partners, professionals and business leaders, who have supported us through our journey. We will continue our media initiative to spread awareness and evengelise innovation.

Come 2024, the travel time between Mumbai, the financial capital of India to Pune, a leading manufacturing & IT hub will be drastically shortened to just 14-25 minutes. What’s more the cost of travel will be pegged at almost the same price as travelling in a cab or airplane. Virgin Group Founder and Chairman Virgin Hyperloop One Richard Branson signed the framework agreement with the Maharashtra government in the presence of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to initiate the development of the route under the auspices of the Magnetic Maharashtra event to build a hyperloop between Pune and Mumbai beginning with an operational demonstration track.
What is interesting is India may well be the first market for Hyperloop One and will debut even before Middle East, Northern Europe or United States of America, where Hyperloop One is considering rolling out its service. These tubes will operate autonomously and will be electric powered. Virgin Hyperloop has a capability of going up to 1000 kms per hour, but the study done currently has been based on an average of 350 kms per hour. In time, with the evolution of infrastructure the speeds can be taken upto to 600-1000 kms per hour.
Mumbai-Pune is one of the most busiest routes in the world, anybody who uses it regularly knows it can be unpleasant route to travel on. The study just shows that the opportunity is enormous and the government is welcoming it with open arms and they are working very closely with us to make it happen. Three years from now we will finish the test run on this route and six to seven years from now the route will be commercially opened Richard Branson Founder Virgin Group & Chairman, Virgin Hyperloop One Reference: Economic Times

Smart Cities begin with Smart Transportation T
he smart transportation market was valued at USD 67.15 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach a market value of USD 189.28 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of 18.68% during the forecast period (2018 – 2023).
AUGUST 2018
www.asindia.in
Smart transportation has been implemented by nearly all major smart cities in the world. Smart transportation includes smart parking, intelligent transportation systems, autonomous vehicles and vehicle sharing. Smart transportation includes the use of several technologies, from basic management systems such as car navigation; traffic signal control systems; container By a&sINDIA Team

management systems; automatic number plate recognition or speed cameras to monitor applications, such as security CCTV systems; MAAS(mobility-as-a-service) and to more advanced applications that integrate live data and feedback from a number of other sources. Smart transportation mainly results in a highway designed to monitor itself, send information to drivers and predict traffic to ensure lanes stay clear of congestion, ensures traffic flow, reduces roadside incidents and provides a centralised view that includes road conditions, traffic, construction and transit information of highway systems.
Smart Transportation Transforming the Cities According to Robbin Shen, Managing Director, Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd., “Smart Transportation will transform cities in a much better way hitherto unthought-of. 1. It will make transportation in cities faster, better, cheaper, flexible, safer, cleaner and pollution free. There will be fewer accidents, more optimisation of vehicular spacing on the roads and less or controlled traffic. 2. Cheap flexible transportation should make it easier for people to access career centers and work-based learning opportunities. Some well -to -do communities will invest in affordable housing clustered around public transportation hubs leading to small urban villages with a concentration of students requiring schools. 3. Multi-modal fare integration can help citizens to use multiple modal options without hassle of purchasing different tickets at different locations thus saving time. Smart Transportation solutions will help efficient traffic flow. 4. Autonomous transportation will soon be common place. As cars will become better drivers than people, city-dwellers will own fewer cars or avail of cars when needed, live further from work, and spend quality time differently leading to an entirely new urban organisation. 5. The World Economic Forum estimates that the digital transformation of the automotive industry will generate $67 billion in value for that sector and $3.1 trillion in societal benefits. That includes improvements from autonomous vehicles, connected travelers, and the transportation enterprise ecosystem in smart cities as a whole.”
The ITS offers a fresh approach in providing different transportation modes, advanced infrastructure and traffic and mobility management solutions Robbin Shen Managing Director Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd.
According to Aditya Khemka, Managing Director, CP PLUS, “The global smart transportation market is projected to reach $237,701 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 18.6% from 2016 to 2022 with a key emphasis on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), an advanced transportation infrastructure that aims to provide innovative transport and traffic management systems. Transportation systems in the cities and suburbs face multiple challenges such as poor road safety; traffic congestion; lack of last mile connectivity; inadequate parking spaces; and pollution with annual losses of up to $21.3 bn due to additional fuel consumption, poor road conditions and traffic congestion alone. The pollution levels are also steadily rising with an increase in the number of vehicles being used and the continued decline of use of public transport on a daily basis. Smart Transportation can help provide solutions to tackle these challenges through an integrated approach that is multi-modal, accessible and intelligent.” According to Ashish P. Dhakan, MD & CEO, Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd., “Smart Transportation is the need of the hour in any big city, where traffic congestion creates a bottleneck for entire city’s commuters. With the introduction of latest Electric Buses, pollution can be reduced. These Buses are highly comfortable for commuters, it has modern seats, infotainment, CCTV and Panic Switch. The introduction of Electric Buses for urban mobility will encourage people to
21
use public transport. The mass use of public transport vehicles will reduce the number of private vehicles and pollution. One CARD for all modes of transport will be integral part of Smart Transportation, Single card can be used for Buses and Metro both. With a focus on making ease of life in urban areas, all smart cities can plan for elevated or underground metro.” According to Sudhindra Holla, Sales Director, India and SAARC, Axis Communications, “Cars getting stuck in traffic in cities is not a new-age travel issue. With cities expanding and an increase in purchasing power. We see a trend of a family having more than one car.
AUGUST 2018

Smart Transportation can reduce travel delays and reduce emissions released by the vehicles which get held up in road congestion. Apart from traffic, street lighting and parking are the common woes of citizens and smart transportation can devise solutions to tackle these problems. Vehicles with built in cameras and sensors are a critical part of smart transportation. Cameras with facial recognition features will help save time, as the car’s system will have pre-configured customised settings of the driver, and all he has to do is get in the car and drive. Sensors attached to the car will be able to identify objects within a certain radius of the vehicle, which should help in parking, as well as ensure safe driving.” He continued, “At Axis, we follow a camera-focused approach. Our cameras have advanced to solve multiple smart-city issues, which include gathering data related to traffic and crowd management. Axis’
22
solutions include vehicle counting, average speed per traffic lane, traffic lane occupancy and vehicle classification.” According to Eunice Chan, Director Sales Asia Pacific, Identiv Inc., “Smart transport is all about providing efficient urban mobility and public transport system. India plans to build National Highways, Expressways, Mass Rapid Transport (MRT), Bus Rapid Transport (BRT), pedestrian skywalks, walkways, and cycle tracks, in cities. Government has plans to develop 200 low-cost airports in Tier-II and Tier-III towns across the country. Plans are also in place to develop 111 river-streams as waterways for coastal shipping
to achieve the twin purpose of reducing freight costs and as well as the road congestion. Connectivity across India will be smooth and fast and in turn this will lead to faster urbanisation and economic growth.” Role that Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) play in a Smart City According to Robbin Shen, “The ITS or the Intelligent Transportation System will become more pervasive in the coming years as smart cities adopt new and advanced modes of mobility. Currently, cities are the places where a large portion of the world’s population lives and works. People need to commute daily to their workplaces and return home. To ensure that people arrive
in time and safely to their workplaces and homes, smart transportations systems are imperative as they play a vital role in dense urban environments.” He mentioned, “The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) can really revolutionise and transform the way people commute in metros and smart cities. The ITS offers a fresh approach in providing different transportation modes, advanced infrastructure and traffic and mobility management solutions. It uses number of electronics, wireless and communication technologies to provide users an access to a smarter, safer, and faster way to travelling.” He continued, “The ITS offers real-time information about traffic flow to passengers/commuters, monitors traffic, averts road accidents, diverts congestions, reduces vehicle emissions, and so on. Passengers are able to make informed decisions with respect to transport requirements through its intermodal connectivity. The ITS through IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity between vehicles and devices, along with GPS satellites offers precise navigation for vehicles. This connected navigation will be highly beneficial for various modes of transport as well as different industries, due to savings in cost and time and the need for real time data.”
The private sector is a potent source of finance and management for development of the urban transport services. Owing to the scarcity of public funds and technical expertise, the PPP route needs to be pursued Aditya Khemka Managing Director CP PLUS
He further continued, “In short, the ITS will play a significant role in the smart city in improved safety, reliability, emergency response and in decreasing travel time/costs, Smart cities will experience increased productivity as a result of improved vehicle and freight service. There will be less air pollution, reduction in traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities. Saving fuel, raising average highway speeds through Autonomous Vehicle (AV) and expanding the capacity of parking facilities with self-parking (through AV) will be achieved through the increasing role of ITS in smart city.” According to Aditya Khemka, “Smart Cities require Smart Transport service. Hassle free movement of people and goods and services are vital to the growth and development of a region. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) play an important role in facilitating the efficient functioning and management of smart transportation by deploying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) interventions such as Multi-level parking/ real time parking management; smart cards as a universal payment mode across all public transport systems; RFID-based electronic toll collection systems for better traffic management; smart parking assistance for efficient use of parking space; automated speed enforcement systems; RFID-based freight movement and tracking; integrated airport safety and surveillance system, etc.” According to Ashish P. Dhakan, “The Intelligent Traffic System (ITS) plays a pivotal role in managing any Smart City’s traffic. In this context, Hikvision’s Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) offer Safe, Smooth and intelligent traffic management solutions. These solutions, include Video Surveillance, Speed Detection, Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD), Highway Event Detection, Illegal Parking, Mobile Enforcement and Traffic Volume Detection. We have implemented these solutions in Assam

and West Bengal states and Vizag city. We also offer E-Challan System for Traffic Violations like Red light violation, triple riding, driving without helmet, driving without seatbelt, wrong-side driving, etc.” According to Sudhindra Holla, “One of the keys focuses of smart cities is smart travel, which can only be enforced through Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). ITS has revamped the idea of travel to mean more than simply getting from Point A to Point B. It ensures getting there in a safer, convenient and more environment-friendly way by getting the whole travel framework involved. A smart city is citizenfriendly, and ITS ensures effective
travel in all forms of transportation which empowers citizens to stay connected on the go through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth services. By staying connected, citizens and tourists alike, will be informed of the traffic blocks on their route and the built in GPS that ITS will re-route on its own.”

He continued, “Another benefit is the system will be able to keep a track of low fuel levels and instantly look up nearby gas stations. Vehicles will likewise have cameras installed with facial recognition capabilities, with which the system runs on the customised settings of the driver including his/her seating, temperature and audio requirements. Outside of a vehicle, there would be sensors attached which would be able to identify potential dangers and assist in parking as the sensors can detect objects ahead, behind and on the sides of the vehicle. He further continued, “Additionally,
24
when cameras are strategically placed on roads, they would be able to identify road accidents, which would automatically inform emergency personnel as well as re-route other vehicles away from the scene to avoid congestion. Another aspect is the installation of intelligent traffic signals which will be able to identify real time traffic from all directions, which would consequently change the signals to enhance the flow of traffic. This distributed intelligence across the transport infrastructure make for an Intelligent Transportation system, and, therefore, a smart travel induced smart city.” According to Eunice Chan, “ITS makes travel convenient for
people. Systems provide real time information to passengers using a public transport system. Some of the other features are Parking management system or Smart parking, Automatic Toll collection system, getting information over phone through app, automated speed enforcement, Traffic management, usage of RFID in the transportation sector etc.” Challenges and Threats to move into an Era of Smart Transportation in India According to Robbin Shen, “The challenges are lack of quality and safe public transportation, road safety concerns, poor traffic management system, inadequate road conditions, insufficient capacity of public
transportation, numerous regulations, poor or inadequate infrastructure, lack of connectivity, human resources deficit, lack of comprehensive design standards for transport infrastructure, very high costs of land acquisition along with arduous and time-consuming processes. Other challenges include absence of reliable transport data, air pollution and accountability.” He continued, “Threats include terrorism, militancy, anti-national and anti-social elements, political unrest, communal conflicts, rise in crime in urban areas and natural disasters like floods, landslides etc.” According to Aditya Khemka, “India is faced with some inherent challenges in the way of smooth development of smart transportation such as inefficient and inadequate public transportation; parking problems; outdated emission standards; deteriorating road safety and plummeting air quality. To facilitate smart transportation there needs to be a greater thrust on improving transport infrastructure; augmenting urban mass mobility schemes and promoting its use; encouraging the use of CNG based vehicles; and improving legislative provisions towards sustainable fuels.” According to Ashish P. Dhakan, “There are multiple challenges to implement smart transportation projects. One of the key challenge lies with limited infrastructure available for the roads. In India most of the land is in the Brownfield category, so it becomes more difficult to create an Elevated Highway Road or Underground Road. The cost, time and process of land acquisition remain a key challenge for smart transportation projects.”
Smart Transportation is the need of the hour in any big city, where traffic congestion creates a bottleneck for entire city’s commuters Ashish P. Dhakan MD & CEO Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd.
According to Sudhindra Holla, “The biggest threat of entering a smart transportation era is increased level of cyber threat. Expansion of digital architectures creates more areas of vulnerabilities since it is an interconnected system and could suffer from cyber-attacks, if not properly secured. This could affect the public safety services, disrupt data records and shake the confidence of citizens.” He continued, “The blurring boundaries between private and public companies could only accentuate the risks of attacks, which will affect smart cities at large. Due to the partnerships there is a greater possibility that the private companies may try and embezzle some of the public-sector information as they gain access to them.” He mentioned, “In India, another threat that the smart transportation sector faces are that of National highway security. Since there are many cross-city road travels, road safety should extend beyond the limitations of the smart ‘city’. A Surveillance installment on the highways between cities is a national priority in India securing states on the borders.” According to Eunice Chan, “The biggest challenge and treat is increase in pollution and which will lead to health issues. Carbon dioxide regulation is likely to continue to tighten, not just in Europe; China, the US, and Japan have also enacted laws to reduce emissions. One immediate result will be higher costs. Because the easy things have
25
already been done, the price of cutting future emissions is rising. As per a Mckinsey report on ‘The road to 2020 and beyond’ on automotive industry, in Europe, the 2020 target might be reached with the help of advanced conventional technologies, but to meet the overall fleet targets, more electrification could be necessary (especially for premium players). This will push OEMs to invest more in e-mobility, meaning electrical/hybrid powertrains, lightweight batteries, advanced internal combustion engines, including cylinder deactivation or variable valve timing, etc. On the other hand, they need to invest in alternative powertrain technologies to meet future emissions targets.”
Ways in which the Smart Transportation is being leveraged around the world
AUGUST 2018
www.asindia.in
According to Robbin Shen, “Smart Transportation is being intelligently leveraged in a number of ways around the world. They include resource optimisation, long-term planning, better traffic management, better parking systems, swifter and safer travel and efficient toll management. The IoT has been assisting travelers with the estimated drive times from one point to another point. Smart cities have been implementing this function by providing heat maps of congested or busy locations. This can be integrated into the GPS for realtime travel recommendations. Latest technologies in smart transportation are getting increasingly leveraged in saving time, cost and fuel and in promoting safer, faster, convenient and hassle free travel.” He continued, “According to the UN, 1.3 million people are killed
26
on the roads each year and if given no attention, this number could reach an estimated 1.9 million fatalities by 2020. The advent of smart transportation will surely help reduce or avert such tragedies.” According to Ashish P.Dhakan, “Smart Transportation across the globe is the way forward. The cities like Shanghai, London and Tokyo have elevated roads, metro and bullet trains. Smart Transportation not only is about all these but also people using it personally. As it is said that a country is rich, when rich people also use the public transport. It is the ease and comfort which these types of infrastructure and facilities can provide to the commuters.” “The most common trend that
we see around the world is the co-operation between the private and public companies for mutual benefits. By breaking down the silos, traffic management centers can have access to more cameras which enables them to have a widened monitoring capability and even track down undisciplined drivers. Sharing their everyday security monitoring experience improves the management of the city’s most critical issues related to, traffic, environment and security. Live video and automatic incident notifications can significantly help city officials with faster response time,” mentioned Sudhindra Holla. He continued, “Globally, many cities use state-of-the-art IT systems to remove congestion to achieve a
cleaner and conformed transportation framework. There are systems in place to obtain information about train, metros and bus timings via GPS. Even the Smart Card system has been introduced for transportation – one prepaid card for all transportation; buses, metros and taxis. Traffic Management systems are also in place, in which traffic is monitored through cameras and sensors and the information is then disseminated to all the drivers.” According to Eunice Chan, “The global smart transportation market is characterised by the presence of both major market players with diverse product portfolio and start-ups that offer niche products, solutions, and services. The key players operating in the market include Accenture PLC, Cisco Systems, Inc., Cubic Corporation, General Electric Company, IBM Corporation, Siemens AG, Thales Group, and WS Atkins. These companies are collaborating with government agencies to achieve the smart transportation vision of the government. Smart transport expected to cross USD 130 billion by 2024; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc. The smart transportation market growth is attributed to the worldwide government initiatives for the smart city development. Around USD 1 billion of connected things are mounted across the globe under the smart cities projects.” Government Policies paving the way for reforms in Transportation Sector
Expansion of digital architectures creates more areas of vulnerabilities since it is an interconnected system and could suffer from cyber-attacks, if not properly secured Sudhindra Holla Sales Director – India and SAARC Axis Communications
According to Robbin Shen, “Yes, government policies in India have played an important role in giving a real push to the reforms in the transportation sector. Post liberalisation of economy in India -that is after 1991- had brought many improvements. For example, the airlines industry was allowed to have many private operators which made the Indian aviation market fiercely competitive. Consequently, the airfares had come down enabling more people to travel by air. According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the passenger traffic during the JanuaryJune 2018 period grew by 22 per cent. Clocking over 11 million in each of the last three months of April, May and June 2018.” He continued, “Reforms in the rail sector have made installation of CCTV cameras mandatory. The present government has taken up redevelopment of 600 major railway stations, electrification of around 4,000 km of railway tracks and building eastern and western dedicated freight corridors. Also, India is setting up a dedicated institute to train manpower required for work on high speed rail projects in Vadodara in India's Western State of Gujarat. Reforms have paid way for the introduction of bullet train. A hyperloop project is also under consideration which will make travel between Mumbai and Pune in flat 25 minutes. New airports, seaports, metro railways and highways are being constructed to ease congestion.” He further continued, “High-speed rail corridor projects to play a critical role in revitalisation of Indian Railways. The Indian Railways’ VISION 2020 envisages the development of at least four corridors of 2,000 kms and planning for 8 other corridors will be in different stages of progress by 2020.
27
Government policies have made 100% FDI under automatic route in the transportation sector like construction, operation and maintenance of sub-urban corridor projects through PPP, high speed train projects, dedicated freight lines rolling stock including train sets and locomotive/coaches manufacturing and maintenance facilities and Mass Rapid Transport Systems.” According to Aditya Khemka, “From capacity building to reform implementation; employment generation; skill development; emission control; and adoption of eco-friendly vehicles, government initiatives such as Smart Cities
Mission; Make in India; National Urban Transport Policy 2014; Automotive Mission Plan 201626; FAME India Scheme; etc. have paved the way for significant reforms in transportation sector and are likely to give it a big boost in the coming years. A combination of strong policies, regulation, public and private sector investments and public awareness will bring the desired change for implementing and executing the dream of smart transportation in the country.”

According to Ashish P.Dhakan, “The government has taken several initiatives like Developing BRTSBus Rapid Transit System, Metro, Monorail and Electric Buses. These are some of the revolutionary steps, which will bring huge reform. The central government is expected to launch seven Greenfield projects to construct 3,000km of expressways under the ` 5.35 trillion Bharatmala scheme. In the first phase, the road

network is set to connect DelhiVadodara, Chennai-Salem in Tamil Nadu, Kharagpur-Siliguri in West Bengal, Delhi-Bilaspur, DurgAurang in Chhattisgarh, MangaluruChitradurga in Karnataka and Ambala-Kathputli in Haryana. The longest stretch of 1,000km will be built between Delhi and Vadodara.” He continued, “According to the road ministry’s estimates, the Greenfield projects would cost 40-60% less than the expansion of Brownfield projects, given that land prices in Brownfield projects are over twice the cost of land elsewhere.” Public-Private Partnership model in the Transport Infrastructure to benefit security industry According to Robbin Shen, “The PPP
is expected to play a pivotal role in the transport sector and in sustaining India’s GDP growth rate of 7%-8% over the next decade. The PPPs in rail line projects have been on the rise for last few years. The transport infrastructure in India is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.9%, easily becoming the fastest expanding component of the country’s infrastructure sector.” He continued, “In fact, India presents the case of largest number of Public and Private Partnerships (PPPs) both at the central and state government levels in providing infrastructure and public goods. According to the reports of Department of Economic Affairs, the Government of India, the four major sectors where PPP projects are allocated are Energy,
Social and Commercial Infrastructure, Transport and Water Sanitation. Majority of the projects (69%) are in the transport sector comprising of airports, inland waterways, railways and roads.” He further continued, “The Indian Railways (IR) is one of the largest transport networks in the world running more than 19,000 trains over 66,687 Route km. It runs about 12,000 trains to carry over 23 million passengers per day connecting about 7,216 stations spread across the sub-continent. It runs more than 7,000 freight trains per day carrying about 3 million tonnes of freight every day. All these trains and stations, existing and new airports, seaports, highways need to be safeguarded. So, the security industry in India is poised to play a major role in protecting the critical national assets and infrastructures. CCTV and Network Cameras, Video Surveillance equipment, Access Control Systems, DVRs, NVRs and other security devices are needed to ensure passenger and property safety and security. As per a World Bank study, by 2031, roughly 600 million people are expected to live in India’s cities. In order to support the growing number of people living in cities, India will have to build two cities the size of Singapore each year. And these cities need many transportation networks which in turn need security.”
The key players operating in the market include Accenture PLC, Cisco Systems, Inc., Cubic Corporation, General Electric Company, IBM Corporation, Siemens AG, Thales Group, and WS Atkins Eunice Chan Director Sales Asia Pacific Identiv Inc.
According to Aditya Khemka, “The private sector is a potent source of finance and management for development of the urban transport services. Owing to the scarcity of public funds and technical expertise, the PPP route needs to be pursued. However, the PPP approach should be treated with caution as the bargaining power of private players could result in a “regulatory capture” without a strong regulatory framework in place. Ideally, a PPP regulatory body supported by a panel of experienced advisors with technical expertise should be set up to effectively regulate these projects so as to ensure transparency and value addition.” According to Ashish P.Dhakan, “The Private Public Partnership (PPP) Model is hugely successful globally. So far five airports have been developed under this model – Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Kochi. While Delhi and Mumbai were brownfield projects, the airports in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Kochi were Greenfield. The other examples include, Hyderabad Metro, Delhi Airport Metro Express Line and many highway projects are built on PPP Model. The security industry can be hugely benefitted by the Private Public Partnership (PPP) Model.” According to Eunice Chan, “With Public partner partnership the investment will increase by many fold and new projects will kick start. Also the demand for smart technology will be very high and simultaneously the acceptability of state of the art technology in new project.”

rbanization is an inherent part of economic development. As more people move into cities, more cars are also on the streets, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. The incidence of which not only poses a huge consequence on human lives, but also a burden on a country’s health, insurance and legal systems. This inadvertently takes a huge toll on the country’s economy as well, typically costing countries 3 percent of their gross domestic product (or up to 5 percent in low- and middleincome countries) as stated by a report by the World Health Organization (WHO). Due to these widespread adverse implications, countries are now waking up to the importance of improving road safety and are making it a high priority in their development agenda. This holds particularly true for the Middle East region. In previous years, this part of the world has been listed as having the second highest road traffic fatality rate in the world after Africa, with reports stating that car accidents are the leading cause of mortality among the younger population. A WHO report classified most of the East Mediterranean countries as having poor traffic data collection and accuracy, another even ranked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) 23rd globally in terms of deaths due to road accidents. This poor road safety performance has become a
31
critical issue for local governments. “Speeding, reckless driving, distracted drivers and not using seatbelts continue to be the main concern for most law enforcement authorities in the Middle East. The main consideration is to ensure that the public is using national roads responsibly and that measures are in place to enforce the same,” said Ettiene Van Der Watt, Regional Engineering and Training Manager for Middle East and Africa in Axis Communications. Many countries in the region have clearly stepped up their national road safety campaigns, coordinating efforts to set speed limits and raise awareness of safety measures as well as the consequences of not following driving regulations. “Initiatives within the framework of traffic law enforcement focus on traffic safety — in general terms — as well as driver education. The aim is to achieve greater awareness of proper and courteous behavior in road traffic — for example acting correctly at traffic lights. This aspect also includes appropriate consequences of non-compliance with traffic regulations,” said John Yalda, Sales Coordinator for Sales Traffic Technology in the MENA Region for VITRONIC. Effective Traffic Enforcement is Key Nonetheless, awareness and education programs, albeit important, are only part of the whole equation. Basic human nature dictates that people who
get the impression that they will be caught and punished are more likely to deter from doing the act in the first place. E a r l i e r t h i s y e a r , P w C (P r i c e w a t e r h o u s e C o o p e r s) Middle East, in partnership with Loughborough University, published a report entitled “A Guide for Policy Makers: on Reducing Road Fatalities” aimed at assisting governments in the Middle East, and the rest of the world, develop strategies to improve road safety. It proposed that countries adopt a mixed approach: using a “3 E’s” strategy (education, enforcement and engineering) as well as a “safe system approach” (safer people, safer vehicle and safer speeds). In both of these strategies, one essential aspect stands out — the need for effective enforcement. The traditional way to achieve this would be through police visibility, increasing road patrols and establishing a constant presence on the roads to deter would-be offenders. However, this would necessitate a significant increase in manpower and resources, which isn’t ideal in most cases.

As such, many countries are looking to invest into other means, and this is where technology increasingly becomes an important part of the whole picture. Technology, mostly video-based, is now being widely leveraged to aid law enforcement officials keep the roads safe through either determent of potential traffic violations or catching violators in the moment and automatically issuing tickets and sanctions.

The SAHER (meaning “watchful” in Arabic) traffic monitoring system, also known as the Automatic Traffic Violations Administering and Monitoring (ATVAM) program, is an initiative launched by the Ministry of Interior in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The intelligent traffic system designed to aid traffic officials in mitigating incidents and accidents was launched initially in 2009 in cities such as Jeddah, Dammam, Riyadh and has since expanded to cover all major cities as well.
identify stolen cars. The system requires no human intervention, automatically issuing tickets and fines to motorists in any case of traffic violations. Upgrades to the system over the years have also enabled it to identify each vehicle’s size class (e.g., passenger cars vs. bigger trucks) and apply respective speeding limit rules. Other risky and banned driving behaviors in the country such as passengers not wearing seat belts or texting while driving can also be caught via the cameras.
Leveraging high resolution 360-degree cameras, the system can monitor traffic and vehicle speeds, lane changes and cases of tailgating on highways, off-roads and roads. Red light violations are immediately captured on camera and a ticket sent to the driver’s registered place of residence. The SAHER system can also track any vehicle with its license plate recognition software, allowing database searches for previous traffic violations or to
It seems that the pro-active actions of the government have paid off. In May 2017, findings from a report by Riyadh-based King Abdullah International Medical Research Center (KAIMRC) showed that there was more than a 37-percent drop in death rates across Saudi Arabia following the implementation of the SAHER system.
a key indicator in its Vision 2021 National Agenda. Several measures in Dubai, including an amended federal traffic law that came into effect in July 2017 which reexamined traffic violations and raised penalties, were also implemented to enhance road safety and get UAE closer to its goal of reducing traffic casualties from about 6 per 100,000 people in 2016 to 3 per 100,000 by 2021. Local news sources reported that Dubai launched a “comprehensive and integrated speed management strategy” in 2014 to improve speed
limit compliance. Apart from increasing enforcement patrols, the plan entailed the addition of more devices and technology to aid in monitoring and enforcing sanctions for traffic violations. It is important to note, however, that finding and implementing road rules and corresponding technology is a complicated process in the Middle East as it encompasses a sprawling region consisting of different countries with varying countryspecific practices, traffic laws and requirements. This makes a blanket “one-size-fits-all” solution an impossibility. “The challenge in the Middle East is that various government entities are specifying enforcement solutions which require a high customization effort. As a global trend, the investment in road safety/enforcement technology requires careful evaluation for the local market requirements,” said Klaus Theml, Head of ITS Middle East at Siemens. “As an enabler for change in driver behavior, there are several emerging technologies

not only monitor traffic speeds, but also catch the motorists in the act. The technology needs to be accurate and reliable enough to provide evidence that can stand up in court as well as be tough enough to withstand the dynamic and challenging environments and weather conditions that exist on roads and highways. Other than electronic speed limit signs and the like, video-based technology is rising in popularity and use. When asked about the various technologies that are being widely used in the Middle East region to combat these challenges, Chen Xin, Sales Director for Middle East at Dahua Technology, enumerated the following: “Radar cameras and speed measurement systems are utilized to deter speeding vehicles and thereby reduce accident rates on the road. ANPR is applied to reduce the human resource cost for traffic violation detection. High resolution (4K) Starlight sensor is used to overcome adverse lighting conditions at night and extreme contact under direct sunlight.”
In order to further increase traffic safety on the sprawling road infrastructure in the State of Kuwait, Jenoptik, an integrated photonics group that offers traffic solutions in the mobility segment, is set to provide two non-invasive point-to-point (P2P) systems for section speed control on the “Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Bridge.” The project will also include several TraffiStar S390 speed measuring devices based on radar technology housed in TraffiTower. The average speed enforcement systems will be installed on the Kuwaiti Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Bridge, which, as of the end of 2018, will link the capital Kuwait City with both the Subbiyah region in the north (Subbiyah Link 36 km.) and the Doha suburb in the east (Doha Link 12 km.). The bridge is one of the country’s major infrastructure projects and will be one of the longest sea bridges. The section speed control measurement starts as soon as a vehicle enters the relevant section with cameras reading the vehicle’s license plate at both the entry and exit point. If the vehicle’s average speed over the said section exceeds the maximum permitted speed, the TraffiSection system automatically records all data relevant for prosecuting the violation. The system is further able to classify vehicles. AUGUST 2018

which authorities need to address; a range of problems for law enforcement and traffic efficiency.

In the past, law enforcement relied on a combination including but not limited to devices such as electronic speed limit signs and the so-called “wet film speed cameras,” systems that consisted of a camera attached to a radar unit that measures a vehicle’s speed. Image capture is triggered when it detects a speeding vehicle. Video-based technology at the time required a human operator nearby to monitor the images and videos and pick out traffic violators. However, over the recent years, the equipment used in this field have developed t remendously. Speed detection accuracy grew with the development of advanced radar and LIDAR technology. Cameras are now producing HD/high resolution images and videos, arming law enforcement officials with real-time views of ongoing events on the the roads and are capable of tracking multiple objects at a time. Video analytics, such as automatic number plate recognition
TRACKING TRAFFIC SPEEDS The technology in this field has significantly developed and expanded over the past few years, enabling law enforcement, city and municipal officials to choose from a pretty wide selection of devices and solutions for one that best suit their requirements. There are several ways that a device can measure speed. One of the earlier technologies that is still being used in many parts of the world involves conventional induction loops being installed into or under the surface of roads. The so-called “presence detectors” can detect and measure the speeds of vehicles passing or moving at certain points, like near intersections. As they are embedded in the ground, they have been considered as one of the most reliable methods for speed measurements, since the loops won’t be affected by environmental factors such as challenging weather conditions. However, maintenance and installation can be time-consuming and a hassle, even requiring lane closures. Radar is also one of the most common and readily available technology in mobile or stationary units for speed enforcement globally. Typically, radar devices interpret changes in wave frequencies reflected or generated by a moving vehicle to calculate its speed. However, there are several drawbacks to this technology. Due to its wide beam width and cone-shaped pattern of radio waves, radar can be detected by vehicles equipped with radar detectors, allowing motorists to momentarily slow down to prevent getting fined. Another disadvantage lies in its relative inaccuracy, many studies have demonstrated its less than stellar performance on crowded highways. As it is less focused, there are instances wherein the radar device is reading the speed of a vehicle passing by and the officer ends up reporting

the car next to it as speeding instead. Nevertheless, there are now companies offering dual radar technology and other new developments to increase detection accuracy. Gradually growing more popular than radar in recent years are Laser (LIDAR) devices. LIDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging, utilizes an infrared laser light wave at a frequency that allows for very specific target acquisition. This makes it ideal for use on crowded roads and highways as it can provide evidence more precisely associated with an individual vehicle without interference from closeby objects. As such, it can be used to detect multiple live objects, like pedestrians or motorcyclists, and laterally-moving objects (e.g., cars changing lanes) on the roads with greater reliability. Its small beam width also brings another added benefit — it usually cannot be detected until after a speed measurement is made, especially when aimed properly. Certain cameras take single spot measurements of vehicle speeds, taking digital images of the driver, vehicle and the scene of the traffic violation when a speeding vehicle is detected. Others measure average vehicle speeds over given distances. Furthermore, many of the current LIDAR devices are designed to automate the entire process of speed detection, vehicle identification and driver identification, making it a valuable tool for traffic officials as it provides comprehensive evidentiary documentation for legal proceedings.

Nowadays, the t rend in t r a f f i c enforcement systems involves incorporating different components into one solution; thus multiplying its applications and driving costeffectiveness — offering red light, ANPR and average speed monitoring at one go, in addition to functionalities such as fixed and mobile speed enforcement. Some can even provide officials with other important information like seatbelt violations or tailgating.

Machine vision is slowly but surely making its way into various verticals, the traffic enforcement sector included. However, its progress may be in some ways hampered by difficulties posed by this field, such as extreme harsh weather conditions, constant changes in traffic flow and conditions. The fact that each region or country may have different traffic regulations or speed limits serve to make things even more complicated.

platform from Siemens, Sicore II, is designed to support a host of enforcement applications which are appropriate for the MEA region including emerging enforcement applications such as average speed (point to point), Don’t Block The Box/intersection blocking as well as the traditional enforcement scenarios (red light/speed enforcement, etc.). Siemens previously finished an installment of a combined speed and red light enforcement system on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. Some of the current traffic systems still transmit the captured images and videos to a central control room for processing. But an increasing number of intelligent traffic enforcement cameras and systems are now able to analyze traffic situations, alert officials of important events unfolding on the roads and automatically generate tickets and fines. “Edge analytics on board CCTV cameras have jumped in popularity based on the massive technological advancements we’ve experienced over the past 3-5 years. So have onboard surveillance and real-time processing which enable
Despite this, the many benefits that this can bring are clearly evident, pushing the use of this technology foward. As these devices are able to function by themselves, there will be a decrease in the need to live-stream the video back to the control room; thus dramatically reducing bandwidth. Immediate image processing and interpretation will cut down the need for additional manpower and allow the authorities to focus on timesensitive, critical incidents instead.

However, there is a unique challenge in the region that adversely affects, or may even limit, the wide-spread application of ANPR technology in the region. “For the traffic law enforcement in different countries of Middle East region, such as UAE, Saudi, Oman and Kuwait, the major challenge is that these countries do not share the same or similar plate

number combination system,” said Chen. “This augments the difficulty for law enforcement agencies to track down involved cars accurately and efficiently to impose proper traffic violation penalty. Besides, the current law enforcement system requires too many police force but still delivers a result not plausible enough.” As government agencies are trying to get the most of these systems, this can also lead to a new set of complications. “One of the challenges with these newer technologies is that they fulfill multiple use cases, for example, the Department of Transport is interested in keeping the intersections clear for traffic efficiency purposes; however, the police/Ministry of Interior want to enforce traffic violations for the purposes of traffic contravention/ ticket purposes. This inter-agency working is something that requires close alignment which can be difficult across the world, and is no different in the MEA,” said Theml. GETTING THE BIG PICTURE WITH ITS Traffic enforcement is an essential part of ensuring road safety. However, we would be remiss if we focused on that alone. As the saying goes “Prevention is better than a cure.” If law enforcement agencies can get access to reliable and detailed realtime traffic data and videos or alerts, this will enable better traffic management and, perhaps, decreased cases of risky driving behaviors from motorists trying to rush through traffic. “With intelligent video applications, you can get automatic alerts when the traffic flow deviates from normal. Early detection of congestion, accidents or stopped vehicles makes it possible to quickly bring the traffic back to normal again — so everyone on the streets can get from point A to point B as quickly and safely as possible. As optimized traffic flow systems increase so do the demand for connectivity, getting realtime information and being able to decide on the correct actions has endless advantages,” said Van Der Watt. This is the reason why many agencies are now considering traffic law enforcement as an integral part of intelligent traffic systems (ITS), offering red light
enforcement, speeding detection, bus lane enforcement, parking violations, real-time traffic status displays and traffic signal controls under one umbrella. “As a been lives, traffic
system that has proven to save the intelligent system is widely
deployed in cities worldwide. The traffic enforcement system is an important component of ITS, not only helping drivers to strengthen their awareness when driving, but also generating additional revenue from fines to help finance a sustainable, growing and well-maintained enforcement system. The Dahua Road Safety Enforcement Solution is a unique and comprehensive suite of tools which can detect multiple traffic violations in order to improve road efficiency and safety,” said Chen. “Big data-based video analytics applied in ITS enforcement systems and deeplearning powered video structure system applied in traffic systems are very likely to come into use in the near future. They can help the government to decide the category of each metadata from the video,” added Chen. Smart Traffic Enforcement for the Future The number of vehicles on roads is increasing every year, a trend that will only rise as the Middle East continues on its growth path. The last few years have seen advancements and an increase in intelligent traffic enforcement technologies that are helping local governments cope with rising congestion and risk of road accidents.

According to Yogesh Dutta, COO, CP PLUS, “GPS based Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) provide real time location and speed of vehicles from a remote location. That’s not all; GPS coupled with advanced programs such as geo-fencing, which allows for defining a route/ zone for a vehicle, can intimate authorities if the vehicle deviates from the predefined route.
40
Further, GPS can be integrated into other applications as well to make transportation smart, such as for providing wait time for a public vehicle at a station/ stand; display the route that the vehicle would be taking; the stoppages it will be making, etc. In other words, GPS coordinates can be a feedstock for a wide range of applications that would facilitate Smart Transportation.” According to Robbin Shen, Managing Director, Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd., “The GPS based Intelligent Transportation is indeed a veritable boon to drivers and the stakeholders of the Transportation Industry as it offers improved
mobility for people and freight, including greater access to transportation for the elderly, the disabled and the people living in remote locations. Also, there is a greater compatibility of surface transportation with the environment. Fewer trafficrelated deaths and injuries occur when the vehicle is installed with GPS based Intelligent Transportation System.

system was required to cover Total’s premises and service station from all directions.Total wanted to upgrade to an IP system, it had already invested heavily in CCTV cameras and wanted to retain the cameras that were functioning well.
The safety of Total’s workers is paramount and, in addition to securing its premises and stations, the company wanted to automate the monitoring of its operations to ensure compliance with safety procedures. Total turned to Steehold, a security solutions provider in Ghana. Steehold was tasked with not only installing a new security system but also ongoing security monitoring and management across Total’s operations in Ghana.
SOLUTION Hikvision provided superlative surveillance that consisted of 120 Hikvision IP cameras to enable high quality 24/7 surveillance across the Total’s premises and its new service stations in Ghana. EasyIP 3.0 cameras, which are combat low-light, brightlight, and extreme weather conditions, were applied in this project. Those cameras also meet Total’s needs of object tracking, line crossing, intrusion detection, and motion detection, with the ability to trigger alerts and make security staff immediately aware of any suspicious behaviour. Hikvision’s video encoders were installed which converted the existing cameras’ analog signals into digital. These encoders were connected to the NVR, and system treats them like the other IP cameras.
CHALLENGE Petrol stations operate day and night so video cameras needed to provide excellent imagery in variable lighting conditions. Both inside and outside areas had to be under monitoring. A video surveillance

Atlanta’s Smart Corridor uses Smart Cameras to move traffic By allowing the use of existing and already deployed Axis cameras to implement traffic data collection, the project truly embodies the Smart City spirit that is working across silos and mutualising resources within the city for the greater good. By Axis Communications
Mission The City of Atlanta, Georgia launched the 2.3 mile North Avenue Smart Corridor – a $3 million project leveraging multiple ‘smart’ technologies in order to transform traffic operations on this important mid-city corridor that carries nearly 29,000 vehicles a day. North Avenue was chosen for the Smart Corridor Project because of its prominence as a major eastwest artery in the City of Atlanta serving prominent institutions. The corridor was also served by numerous routes, key bicycle routes, and included 18 signalised intersections between North side Drive and Freedom Parkway. One goal of the overall project was to better understand and optimise the traffic on the Smart Corridor. Ultimately, the direct impact of the project was going to be on quality of life: reducing emissions and pollution in the city. Solution
AUGUST 2018
www.asindia.in
In 2015, the city of Atlanta had installed a number of video surveillance cameras to monitor parts of the current Smart Corridor site. The city wished to be able to use those cameras as traffic sensors: provide traffic statistics and provide traffic data to operate and optimise intersections in real time. The city of Atlanta selected 360ns, a Georgia company with strong experience in providing intelligent transportation and mobility solutions. 360ns selected Citilog’s SmartTraffic-td image processing application to provide real time traffic data and statistics. The
54
application could be installed directly on the 84 existing AXIS M1125 Network Cameras previously installed by the city of Atlanta and could communicate with the existing traffic controllers as well as the new traffic management system, SURTRAC, deployed within the scope of the Smart Corridor Project. Citilog’s SmartTraffictd application computed real time traffic data onboard the Axis cameras installed on 26 intersections along the Smart Corridor. The traffic data (vehicle counts, speed, occupancy) was sent to and hosted in Citilog’s CTCloud, a cloud platform enabling to host, visualise but also easily share data within the city organisation. The data processed by the SmartTraffictd application was also shared with SURTRAC, an adaptive traffic signal control technology developed at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University that optimised the performance of traffic signals. SURTRAC uses volumes, vehicle types, speed, and queues provided by
the application. Last but not least the SmartTraffic-td application provides vehicle presence information to the traffic controller on the 26 intersections of the corridor, by means of a communication interface board. Using this interface, the application is able to connect to any traffic controller on the market without the need of altering or reprogramming the controller. Result By enabling real-time adjustments to traffic light timing the combination of Axis cameras, Citilog’s SmartTraffictd application, SURTRAC and traffic controllers improved travel times and reduced waiting time at intersections. The CTCloud platform was used in real time for traffic operations but also offline for analysis and study; the platform allows keeping several months of data.

Earlier, it was only location based device but with time, the demand has taken a different shape. Users have become more apparent in their demands. People are willing to comprehend copious data about their vehicles such as malfunctioning in engine, driver behavior, live recording of passengers etc.” He continued, “There are many technologies emerging around to enhance the user experience such as OBD-II Devices with CAN, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Passenger Information System (PIS). ADAS Technology can detect some objects, do basic classification, alerts the driver of hazardous road conditions and, in some cases, slow or stop the vehicle. This level of ADAS is great for applications like blind spot monitoring, lanekeep assistance and forward collision warning. MDVR, also serves one of the greatest purpose to monitor the inside bus activities by sending the live video feeds and prevents any miss happening in the public transport.”

Q
Do briefly share your advent into the Electric Vehicle industry in India.
AUGUST 2018
A. Wheels of new-age aspiration drives the nation towards innovation. This automotive sector will create more than 60 million additional jobs with nearly 300 billion USD annual revenue. The major push came from Government of India’s policy pronouncement of 100% EV by 2030 even though the target deadline was changed later. Government of India had notified FAME India Scheme [Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles in India] for implementation with effect from 1st April 2015, with the objective to support hybrid/electric vehicles market development and manufacturing ecosystem. The scheme has 4 focus areas i.e. Technology Development, Demand Creation, Pilot Projects and Charging Infrastructure. The FAME India Scheme is aimed at incentivising all vehicle segments i.e. 2 Wheeler, 3 Wheeler Auto, Passenger 4 Wheeler Vehicles, Light Commercial Vehicles and Buses. The scheme covers Hybrid & Electric technologies like Mild Hybrid, Strong Hybrid, Plug in Hybrid & Battery Electric Vehicles. Against the backdrop of initiatives of the national government and the initiatives from other countries our thoughts got consolidated on venturing into EnVERT E-Vehicles Pvt Ltd which was registered with Startup India in 2017 and our prototype tests on e-cycles, 4- Wheelers have been successfully completed.
improved public safety and increasing the cities’ competitive advantage. Other elements of smart transportation will cover increased efficiencies of operations i.e. advanced traffic management systems to optimise traffic flow, incident detection and reporting system, multi-modal operational optimisation, dynamic demand-based pricing with rerouting option, adaptive traffic signal systems and signal priority for emergency responders.

radiation and some part of its large-scale deployment in transportation sector makes good sense. With respect to component supply a transformational shift is expected with deployment of electric vehicles (EV) in regard to existing automobile parts supplier. The growth of EVs will lead to substantial changes in the automotive value chain, including technology, manufacturing systems, ownership models, distribution and aftermarket support. Battery in EV cost around 30% and it is expected to come down with falling Lithium Ion battery prices (from $ 250/ kWh to $ 100/kWh). EV is relatively simpler to build with only 20 moving parts against around 2,000 in an internal combustion engine vehicle. With respect to current status update from Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV), Gujarat, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra have emerged as the top five states in terms of e-vehicle sales. SMEV also surveyed that all electric 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers which were sold between 2016 and 2017 and are successfully running. The study showed that 1926 e-vehicles were sold in Maharashtra, 2388 in Rajasthan, 2467 in UP, 2846 in West

First Generation Biofuels (Ethanol, Biodiesel and Biogas) have a share around 3% of road transport fuel. Government policy on blending mandate is required for furtherance of the said share. Advanced Biofuel like Cellulosic ethanol, Bio Synthetic gas, Algae bio-fuels and Sugar based hydrocarbons are in the R&D stage and these can be future transport fuels if cost economics are sustainable. Q. What are your thoughts on Security in the Transport Sector? A. Air transport with the increasing use of electronic systems and internet connectivity, cyber-attack on Aircraft systems in flight will have a significant consequence on the entire air transport ecosystem. Transportation hubs for air, sea and rail have been focal points for terrorist threats and other crimes such as people and drug trafficking. A number of simulation activities have been undertaken to ensure facilities are scaled to support passenger flow, such as check-in gates.
Bengal and 4330 in Gujarat, making it the top-most state in India to bring maximum numbers of e-vehicles on road. However, Delhi, which initially used to top this list, now, surprisingly ranks 7th with only 1072 e-vehicles sold. In addition, 25,000 e-vehicles were sold across India between 2016 and 2017. Q. What other sources of energy solutions could be beneficial in the transportation sector? A. Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCV) are powered by hydrogen, which is produced using electricity. One of the key merits of FCVs is high power-generation efficiency, because unlike a normal generation system, the system does not depend on the Carnot efficiency peculiar to thermo motors. However, there are challenges to overcome in regard to FCVs. One main technological hurdle for FCVs is the difficulty of maintaining the integrity of the pressure vessel and the separation membrane, which

Q. What are your views on the security industry in India? A. Safety of people and security of assets are basic needs of individuals and organisations. Today, we have access to newgeneration technologies in biometric identification, intelligent sensors technologies, and video capturing-recording-streaminganalytics to create cutting-edge security solutions for our society. No wonder, there is a huge growth in the security industry worldwide. India is also one of the fastest growing security markets in the world. There are number of factors contributing to this growth including general economic growth, increase in awareness, legal requirements, affordability, etc. In addition, there is also a spurt in infrastructure development in the country. Physical security is part of basic infrastructure for any modern economy. Naturally, we see huge potential for security solutions in India. Q. What are the challenges Matrix faced as an Indian manufacturing company? A. First challenge is the economy. Security equipment and services business is tightly linked to the overall economic growth. Slowdown or lack of general economic growth is a primary challenge.
Second challenge is eco-system for domestic product design and manufacturing. Being a completely indigenous company, Matrix finds it difficult to source equipment, components, knowhow and skills. Cost and lead time for imported parts increase due to logistic costs and time. Considering Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current demand and future growth, it is not sustainable for India to continue remaining dependent on imports. Therefore, how to transform domestic manufacturing is a big challenge we are facing.
Third challenge is to improve quality and reliability of security equipment and services. Security deals with safety of human and physical national assets. Unfortunately, we have non-existent standards for security equipment and services in India. Significant portion of investments and efforts go waste due to poor quality of equipment and services. Many customers are forced to scrap and replace their security equipment every 2-3 years leading to huge national waste and environmental hazard. We need some basic standards for equipment and services and commitment and vigour to implement them.
Q. What are the new training initiatives by Matrix? A. Training is an essential driver for any technology solutions business. At Matrix, training is a continuous process. We train our people and partners on variety of subjects including technology, products, solutions, configuration, maintenance, etc. To ensure right solutions and quality services to customers, Matrix has designed three levels of training followed by examinations and certification â&#x20AC;&#x201C; professional, associate and expert. Q. How is Matrix poised to handle the growing need for security equipment in India? A. Matrix has many unique strengths and advantages. To begin with R&D, Matrix is not dependent on anyone for its innovation, technologies or design of products. Second, Matrix is a 100% indigenous manufacturer giving it complete control on its quality, cost and delivery. Third, Matrix is very strong in sales and postsales support. Fourth, Matrix boasts of a strong and trained channel network of more than 1,500 SIs in India and overseas, capable of offering solutions and services anywhere in India and most countries in the world. All in all, I believe Matrix is in a unique position to meet the needs of Indian customers.

here are plethora of brands spread across every nook and cranny of the country, but the secret of all the best brands – is mainly about providing an effective after sales service to consumers. It is nowadays used as the cutting edge marketing tactic in pushing the product’s sale across the category of surveillance and security industry. So, what actually occurs when one of the newly purchased product just stop working? Now it is not that complicated to acquire the service as it was before. It is the most essential
64
element in the customer service that is how we are describing a customer service vision. It’s a shared definition of outstanding service. The key to generate maximum customers is surely the better after sale customer service. There is a huge demand from customers for after sale services which need to be targeted by the various brands so as to trigger more profits and create brand’s value in customer’s mindset. This in turn is also offering ample business opportunities. In current market conditions as per customer view point service should be categorised in three different principles. These service principles are as follows:
• Easy • Recognised • Solved It is essential to see high level service and business goals gaining any traction. The fate of a brand relies mainly on product portfolio and after sale service it offers to the customers. When it comes to an after sales service, it plays a significant role in propelling more customers so as to target more profits simultaneously. Looking at the statistics, after sales services market is evolving inch by inch. Challenges Service is an act or performance that one party offers to another that is essentially intangible and does not result in any ownership. The major
challenges in service marketing arise from the basic characteristics of services like Intangibility, Heterogeneity, Inseparability and Perishability. They are known by acronym IHIP. These characteristics have been staples of service research for more than two decades. All of these characteristics pose specific challenges and requires explicit strategies. Most challenging scenarios in customer support are as follows: • Customer is angry and not ready to wait because of mission critical requirement of surveillance products
understanding this insight, they have focused on after sales services since the very beginning.
General Maintenance scenario in the Security industry of India
Now, after understanding the pain of the customer, Hikvision has modified and implemented their new services so that customers can get more effective service.
• Easy to approach • Get on time service • Have more access to branches at various locations • Get cost effective services • Quick access
• Replacement and Level 2 Repair support from Branch level for our valued partners. • Advance replacement for special projects and economical products. • Standby products as a special support for projects. • Outstanding support for Heavy Burn and Physically damaged products at no cost for all our valued partners. Customer Loyalty Existing customers play even a greater role in changing brand value and keep them at the highest level or a level below. There are actions, the companies can take and behaviours’ they can measure that create long term relationship between brand and customer. At Hikvision we believe that to build a brand loyalty customers should be aligned on 7 key factors: • Emotional Dependence • Structural Dependence • Business Dependence • Satisfaction • Performance • Economical Value Proposition • Strong and Supportive after Sales Service We are entering an IoT era, where billions of devices will be able to collect and transmit data via the internet, so much so that Gartner recently forecasted that there will be 6.4 billion connected things used worldwide in the future.
• There is an outage or other crisis • Customer requires support for Burn and Damage • Inability to understand technical criteria due to inadequate technical background Opportunities • Hikvision was successful in acquiring more market share and brand value through effective services to customers. • Now they are reaching out to their every valued partner through new services implemented and which results in more aggrandise service. • Security products are infrastructure products and after sales services is an important concern for all customers.

Taking Post Sales Service Scenario To A Whole New Dimension Cities are seeing a rise in service centers – all in the name of bringing world-class services closer to the customers.
By Sudhindra Holla, Sales Director, India and SAARC, Axis Communications
POST SALES SERVICES SCENARIO HAS CHANGED IN INDIA Customer engagement as a priority for Indian companies has shifted. Earlier, businesses focused on other areas to grow and invest despite rising competition. It was only when customers’ expectations began to grow that businesses began considering the need for customer sales services. Today, the scenario has changed to give power to the customers and so has the priority on post sales services. If disregarded the customers would be unsatisfied which would ultimately lead to the company losing their business. The growing number of tech-savvy customers that business encounter has changed the way their after-sales services works. Indian companies have gone digital with their customer services. Customer complaints or queries are addressed on various online platforms.
AUGUST 2018
We see a trend in increased loyalty programs, offers and increased number of service centers coming up in rural areas, and other complaintdense areas. Cities are seeing a rise in service centers – all in the name of bringing world-class services closer to the customers. The idea is that if the service center is closer to you, the time taken to resolve the issue reduces. Thus, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality customer service. Other prominent after sales services that are in the
works include pick up and drop off, installation and quick demos. Axis Communications had recently launched their Extended Warranty Program, with which customers can get an extended warranty for up to 5 years. That means the customer has company support for 5 years which includes repair and replacement of the product purchased as and when required during the 5-year bracket. Axis has always had their customers best interests in mind while being a channel focused company to ensure that our customers get the best of customer services. CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES IN POST SALES SERVICES In the case of the security industry the customers tend to spend huge amounts. For any large purchase, a customer needs to be able to trust their source. A customer would be reluctant to shell out so much money only to have no faith in the after sales services of the company that they spend on. For the security industry, the biggest challenge is securing the trust and confidence of current and potential customers. To tackle this challenge, the security industry has begun offering warranties along with their products and services. Warranties secure customer’s investments as they guarantee that once the payment has been made, the relationship between company and customer does not end immediately.
Customers are inclined to align with companies offering warranty for their products. Most security and surveillance companies have their after-sales services outsourced through their channel partners. In these cases, the channel partners are the ones responsible for the repair and maintenance of the products and hence, influence the delivery of appropriate levels of customer service and support. For this reason, building strong relationships with channel partners has become essential for the service sector. Understanding that it is a give and take relationship, where even the channel partner benefit from the partnership, is crucial for ensuring that the end customer is the ultimate beneficiary.

Always Watching: 24/7 Surveillance For Highway/Tunnel Security N
ational highways seem to have become the new favourite crime spots for offenders and criminals. Highway traffic management is becoming a potential market for systems integrators. Application challenges need to be resolved with proper placement of the high-resolution cameras, with the proper mounting mechanisms. For environmental challenges it is more difficult to bring a one-size-fits-all resolution as different locations have different issues. The key aspects for efficient License Plate Recognition include taking into account the differences in the license-plate types, traffic rules, and road infrastructure. Now as image quality and application-requirements have increased, there is a constant need to optimise bandwidth consumption too.

Roadside breakdowns and accidents in tunnels are a source of great danger. Help points cannot always be installed behind soundproof doors. Integration of voice, video, alarm monitoring and control functions are essential to enable the Control Room operator to manage the situation in and around the tunnel efficiently. Communication to and from drivers, control of lighting, ventilation and traffic lights, signals and barriers form part of the Tunnel system applications. By a&sINDIA Team

SECURITY SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE ON A HIGHWAY/IN A TUNNEL According to Robbin Shen, Managing Director, Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd, “Highways and tunnels are the jugular veins of the transportation network and hence they must be safeguarded for the smooth flow of traffic. The security system therefore requires many essentials such as ample inputs for data and video from different sources including large video walls, cameras and operator workstations or servers; capability of capturing multiple video sources (VGA, DVI, YPbPr, S-Video, Composite, SDI, etc), visualisation and display data on multiple monitors with flexible configuration, flawless computing performance, an all-weather functioning reliable equipment for 24/7 operations. All devices in the system should be integrated, with command and control systems for seamless functioning.” He added, “Also, the security system requires security vetting and screening of workers, travellers, and cargo and securing of critical physical infrastructure, implementation of risk mitigating operational practices and unpredictable operational deterrence and organising security awareness, response and preparedness trainings will help to achieve optimal performance. In short, constant vigilance and combat readiness should become the norm in securing these critical infrastructures.” According to Yogesh Dutta, COO, CP PLUS, “An ideal security solution for a highway or a tunnel would comprise of a speed enforcement system – a radar and camera; cameras equipped with smart analytics such vehicle counting, unauthorised parking, retrograding, unattended objects, etc.; and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) solution to track speed of vehicles and identify the defaulters.”
Robbin Shen Managing Director Dahua Technology India Pvt. Ltd.
Innovations address materials, roadway, tunnel and bridge designs, design and construction methods, road safety, and a variety of environmental, community, and aesthetic concerns
According to Sai Kumar, Vertical Head – Transportation, Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd., “In India the infrastructure and expressway projects are now being implemented in a big way. In any big highway projects, Tunnel is a major part, and in the Tunnel, one can’t have the natural light. In this scenario the Video Surveillance Camera Technology needs to adapt the latest available options.” He continued, “Today video surveillance technology has evolved to such level that even in the Tunnel and with artificial light, optimum image and video can be captured. Also Emergency call box can be installed in different part of the tunnel, in case of any panic situation, it can be used. Through fiber connectivity tunnel or highway can be monitored through the command and control center. Video Incident Detection System can help to achieve efficiency in highway management, where command center will come to know, which
69
vehicle is taking a wrong route. It will help to detect, which vehicle is parked for long. It can monitor and detect any pedestrian crossing the highway.” According to Vishal Sanghavi, Founder & CEO, NET2POINT, “Any interruption in operation of highway/tunnel can have significant consequences. Maintaining a safe and secure environment is therefore of paramount importance. The limited escape options which characterise a tunnel mean that identifying a problem at the earliest opportunity is critical. Whether it is protection from potential attack, identifying an issue in the traffic flow, or detecting a fire, at the heart of it all is detection and management. Fundamental to this is the need to have visibility from the tunnel entrance to the exit. Quite naturally, video surveillance is therefore commonly employed. The video surveillance increasingly being adopted in tunnels features algorithms which identify potential sources of incidents.” He continued, “The cameras, placed at strategic points to provide a full view of the tunnel, not only monitor but also evaluate the scene. If one of the predefined activities is detected, it generates an alarm, also recording the activities via a digital video recorder. The video recording speed can automatically increase to full frame rate during an alarm, providing invaluable information to review during the event itself or post-event in any analysis of an incident. Filters are used to minimise false alarms, e.g. smoke is detected by the algorithms but vehicle exhaust fumes are ignored.” INNOVATIONS IN DESIGNING, IMPLEMENTING AND UPGRADING HIGHWAY/TUNNEL SECURITY

systems help engineers and contractors analyse the constructability of proposed designs well in advance of actual construction. • Global positioning systems are being used in surveying/layout, in automated guidance systems for earth-moving equipment, and for monitoring quantities. Other innovations include in situ (stationary) temperature sensors coupled with data storage, transmission, and processing devices that provide onsite information about the maturity and strength of concrete. • Digital video offers better image and image processing quality. A digital crossbar offers a flexible and standardised interface for third party vendors and multi-camera image processing leading to new applications.” He added, “In order to secure China’s “Four Bridges and One Tunnel” access points, Dahua employed advanced technologies such as intelligent analysis, big data, and video analytics to significantly increase the efficiency of emergency command and information technology management capabilities, providing uninterrupted HD video surveillance and smart road event monitoring on bridges and tunnels.” He further added, “I am glad to learn that in India, one of the main global consulting and technology companies manages the longest tunnel in South East Asia at Chennai and that supports uninterrupted traffic with highest security standards. It has installed its smart technology in the control centre of the Chennai road tunnel which, measuring 9.2 kilometers and is the longest in all of India and in entire southeast Asia, for €6.5 million. The company has been in charge of the design, development, implementation and launch of the tunnel's management system, based on its proprietary Horus solution that facilitates maximum operability and efficiency in the infrastructure's operation and guarantees users the greatest security.”
Sai Kumar Vertical Head – Transportation Prama Hikvision India Pvt. Ltd.
Today video surveillance technology has evolved to such level that even in the Tunnel and with artificial light, optimum image and video can be captured
He continued, “Amongst those systems installed in the Chennai Tunnel management are the automatic incident detection, video surveillance, traffic control, signalling, fire detection, access control and emergency call systems, as well as other subsystems supplied by local companies, such as lighting, ventilation, communication and energy systems which Horus will also integrate.” According to Yogesh Dutta, “3D Radar System for speed tracking and violation; multi-target speed tracking and enforcement system; cameras with advanced analytics such as traffic flow, abnormal driver behaviour, illegal parking; retrograding; and ANPR solution powered by Artificial Intelligence are some of the significant innovations made in highway/ tunnel security technologies.”
71
According to Sai Kumar, “The key innovation in Highway and Tunnel security is use of Automatic Number Plate cameras at all the critical areas, these ANPR cameras help to identify number plate of vehicle passing through toll plaza as well as the highway or tunnel.” He continued, “AI Based Video Surveillance Camera and Emergency boxes are bringing new innovations like vehicle classification, driver behaviour, speed of vehicle in highway, etc. also single camera can monitor 3 Lanes, which will also add as big tool in creating cost effective solution. A major innovation is happening in AI Based technology that is empowering the latest video surveillance solutions.” According to Vishal Sanghavi, “Now technology brings solar and mobile network camera to create IoT and AI technology solutions to secure highways and tunnels. Surveillance centre based on mobility solution should operate nearby area through local community which gives them employment and skill development to serve during disaster. Telecom operators establish better connectivity along highways with help of new revenue stream from cloud based surveillance.” He continued, “Data mining is as important for reviewing adequacy of safety measures and systems as ensuring a reliable and optimal flow. Such systems can also be used for continuous improvement of safety measures or to highlight trends in traffic which could possibly cause problems for tunnel availability and safety. These intelligent video systems are capable of gathering and collecting traffic data, e.g. number of detected vehicles per lane within a defined period, vehicle classification, number of trucks per lane, distance control, speed control or average speed detection per lane, average truck speed per lane.”

Clear Viewing Even During Monsoon Season, Hanwha Techwin Releases 4 New Flateye Cameras The main feature of the new models released by Hanwha Techwin is the absence of the dome-shaped transparent cover surrounding the surveillance camera.
By Hanwha Techwin
M
any countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, suffer from monsoon. Moisture from heavy rain also often poses an obstacle to CCTV, because the dome cover of certain cameras gets wet and foggy, which hinders clear monitoring. To resolve this problem, global security company Hanwha Techwin has released four flateye cameras (QNE-6080RV(W) and QNE-7080RV(W)) that provide clear monitoring even against the humidity of the monsoon season.
AUGUST 2018
2 Megapixel QNE-6080RV(W) and 4 Megapixel QNE-7080RV(W) each have a window cover with a flat surface applied to the front of the lens instead of the dome cover. Removal of the cover resolves the problem of narrowing views due to humidity and ensures clear vision even amid heavy downpour during monsoon. It also mitigates the issue of obstructed viewing due to contamination or scratches on the dome cover.
www.asindia.in
In addition, the application of a 3.1x (3.2~10mm) electric varifocal lens allows viewing angles to be freely adjusted. An application for optimal viewing angles is thus available for each location to allow broader and more precise monitoring. And thanks to the infrared (IR) light function,
74
the cameras are also highly effective even at night to recognise objects up to 30 meters away. These cameras also support a variety of intelligent video analytic functions of Hanwha Techwin. Defocus detection notifies the user if the camera is out of focus due to external vibration, and the defogging function corrects the image if the screen is blurry due to fog or smog. When subject identification is impossible due to the darkening of the backlight, the wide dynamic range (WDR) function corrects the image to enable bright and clear object identification. The removal of the dome means quicker installation since attachment-detachment process can now be eliminated. And the efficient adjustment of monitoring direction even in a fixed state means significantly better management and operation of both cameras.
Intelligent technology for CCTV is important but since these cameras were initially installed for security, it is critical that environmental factors do not disturb the original monitoring function. The key is the extent of clear monitoring possible based on strong durability even in extreme climates with extra high humidity.Hanwha Techwin will continue raising its technical capacity to make its products durable under extreme conditions

Lighting The Future: Dahua Technology’s Charity Program for Children Strives On The widely quoted motto “With great power comes great responsibility” has been held dear and put into years of practice by Dahua Technology. With this in mind, Dahua technology deepens its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Program “Lighting the Future”, which aims to help children who suffer from sickness or poverty in terms of education. • By Dahua Technology
Caring for Kids with Autism Dahua Technology’s “Lighting the Future” program understands that charity is not only about material donations. Sometimes it also requires very personal participation and care. You have to take the human to human, heart to heart action, or indeed interaction, which itself can be the most precious help. That is very much the case with children with autism. Dahua Technology organised a team of over 20 employees to visit the Carnation Recovery Center for Children, a facility that specialises in helping kids with autism. They brought with them, dozens of LeChange Baby Monitors, as well as many carefully picked books and toys as gifts for the children there. More importantly, the employees were prepared to devote their time, love and patience for the children. They decorated the center to evoke a mood of Christmas and listened and talked to the children while playing Christmas themed games together. Everyone had a great time and felt needed by one another. According to instructors at the center, what these kids need is not correction but understanding. When they are not able to adapt to our world, we should try our best to adapt to theirs’. There is still a long way to go but Dahua Technology will keep striving. Donation to Schools for the Children of Migrant Workers.
