Econolite Introduces Autoscope® ENCORE(TM)
Introduction of Autoscope ENCORE Highlights 20th Anniversary of Development Partnership
Anaheim, Calif. - Econolite and Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISS) (NASDAQ: ISNS), today announced the introduction of Autoscope® ENCORE(TM), the next generation of Autoscope multitasking video solutions, providing the reliable, immediate and comprehensive traffic information necessary for the most demanding intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
The Autoscope ENCORE introduction marks 20 years of a successful product development partnership between Econolite and Image Sensing Systems. "As a pioneering force in transportation technology, the Econolite-ISS partnership continues to identify and address the burgeoning need in the ITS industry for automated multitasking detection tools," said Econolite Chief Executive Officer Mike Doyle. "We are proud to play a key role in firmly establishing Autoscope as the technology leader." As an exclusive distributor for Autoscope, Econolite has helped deploy more than 95,000 Autoscope units since the partnership began in 1991.
A true multitasking video detection solution, Autoscope ENCORE features powerful network browser navigation, comprehensive data collection, Internet access via web server, and software development tools to achieve efficiencies and seamlessly integrate with other ITS systems. This offers unparalleled control, security, and immediate data and video access. Its dual-core digital signal processor (DSP) with advanced RISC machine (ARM) processing is part of a low-power consumption system-on-chip (SoC) package. This SoC architecture combined with multi-threaded software enables the ENCORE sensor to process video images in real time to detect traffic, extract data, identify incidents, and transmit detector outputs while simultaneously streaming MPEG-4 video output.
"Autoscope ENCORE builds upon all of the legendary features of its Autoscope predecessors, making it a powerful ITS solution," said Ken Aubrey, President and CEO of Image Sensing Systems, Inc. "By simplifying installation and leveraging a new high-integrity enclosure design, Autoscope ENCORE represents an environmentally secure video detection platform upgrade, providing convenient integration with virtually any network while at the same time reducing overall visual obtrusiveness."
ENCORE sensors feature a unique lens aperture as part of a newly designed housing assembly that provides the best video detection possible in all weather and lighting conditions while reducing unit weight and end-to-end footprint by nearly 50 percent. A critical enabling component in helping elevate traffic management systems to an ITS program, Autoscope ENCORE provides the comprehensive data collection capabilities for agencies to increase safety, mobility and quality of life.
Autoscope ENCORE ITS Solutions will be featured at the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) 2011 Technical Conference and Exhibition, Lake Buena Vista, Fla., (April 4-5, 2011).
