SEE RAIL SEE TRAIN

SeeTrain and SeeRail are fully integrated OCR systems that automatically read and record the container ISO code numbers that are transported by rail cars. These systems detect and recognize one or two stacks of containers, and report the recognition information and images to the port's information network.

The SeeTrain and SeeRail systems include all hardware and software components for the installation at the rail side. Utilizing RFID readers, rail car number information can be read and reported along with the container ISO code readings.

A sample portal SeeTrain installation (at the Port of  Los Angeles) is shown in the following photo.  The system is one of many systems ordered which are now being deployed in the US west coast ports. An array of cameras, sensors and illumination units is mounted on both sides of the tracks in a configuration designed to read containers in one or two stack configurations..

While the train enters or exits the terminal, the system scans the passing containers and automatically detects them, recognizes their ISO codes, and reports the results and images (a message is transmitted for each container) to the terminal, optionally along with the railcar numbers.

The rail recognition systems differ in the following installation types-

 SeeTrain portal system - a single track Windows based recognition system. This system is designed for entry or exit gates (portals), or can be installed within the yard. The system is designed for slow to medium-speed trains. A sample installation is shown above.

 SeeRail intermodal system - a multiple track Windows based recognition system. This system is used for inter-modal sites. The system is installed at locations where the equipment cannot be installed near the two sides of the railway, as in the case of multiple tracks. The system is designed for high speed trains. A sample installation is shown below of a 3 track site, with an additional bypass track. The cameras and illumination units are installed on the sides and on top of an existing signal bridge.

 Each system is controlled by a PC with Windows based application and handles one stack.  Two identical PCs are required for double stacked container configurations.

The Windows-based application controls the cameras, sets and pulses of the solid-state illumination units, interfaces the sensors, performs the recognition, records and stores the results and images and then outputs the results via the network. The results are then transmitted to the Terminal Operating System (TOS) or to the central server, where they can be matched against the database and stored for future use.

A sample operation of the SeeTrain application is seen in the following animation.

In the application's main display, as seen above, the following zones are viewable-

·      the recognized container images are seen on the left (sample night images)

·      a history of trains is seen at the top center list (3 trains are displayed  in the above example  list)

·      the history of recognized containers is seen at the bottom center list (index, code, time and image pointer)

·      real-time events are seen on the right

There are two main image display modes: (a) real time view of the recognized images and (b) a history mode where the user can click on a requested recognition event and see its image and information.

Note that in normal use this display is not required, since the application runs in the background and requires no manual intervention. The system is installed in a rail side enclosure (no display required) and its operation can be observed thru the network.

Red-faced cops to act

Sheepish senior police officers are working on an ambitious plan to reduce the incidence of crime in KwaZulu-Natal. In hastily arranged meetings, senior SAPS organisers have met with the SANDF and with representatives of metro police forces in the province to discuss plans to eradicate crime. This follows the release of recent crime statistics by Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula which painted grim picture of the crime rate in the province. From April 2006 to March this year, almost 5 000 murders were committed in the province. Gauteng and the Eastern Cape reported fewer than 4 000 murders each. A senior police officer told the Daily News on Sunday: "The competition is on among provinces to have as few crime incidents as possible when the statistics are released. We were very embarrassed with the recent crime statistics," said the source.

R46m traffic system scandal <-CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE  <-KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT  <-CURRENT AFFAIRS  <-LAW ENFORCEMENT

It was hailed by the Johannesburg Metro Police Department as a policing system which would take South African traffic enforcement to new levels - but it has left the city and its ratepayers R46-million poorer. The JMPD has paid 2Big Mobile Applications this amount over the past two years for a series of IT services which were supposed to revolutionise traffic policing. However, an investigation by The Star has found that most of the services were allegedly not delivered, or were poorly delivered, using antiquated IT technology. And while the JMPD wrangles with the company, the City of Johannesburg's mayoral committee is refusing to terminate the contract. 2Big Mobile Applications was appointed by the JMPD two years ago to set up about 15 different computer applications, including remote summons and warrant printing at roadblocks, SMS fine checks, remote paypoints, licence and driver testing systems, and licence booking systems. The total cost of the deal has not been disclosed, but allegedly, only about R3-million of work has been carried out so far. And the city has already lost out to the tune of R46-million. Some of the services the company rendered, which include traffic officers carrying cellphones to dial in to find out whether motorists have outstanding fines or not, were so outdated they were phased out almost immediately. Another service, demonstrated at the time of the launch, was the offender call centre, where a team of JMPD staff were to phone motorists with large amounts of outstanding traffic fines to collect money. This was closed last month because it wasn't operating properly. At least seven of the other promised services - including the licence booking, licence testing, driver testing and licence renewal systems - were never delivered because of the introduction of the eNaTIS system by the Department of Transport. Thousands of people registered for the SMS system, which was supposed to advise them of outstanding warrants for a fee of R5 a month. But The Star has received complaints from motorists that money was being deducted from their cellphone accounts although they had never received notifications - despite having received summonses. The fine-collection system was allegedly also outdated and has now been replaced by the recently announced "payfine" system - an online system by which motorists can log on to the Internet, see what fines are outstanding and then pay immediately. For June alone, R5,9-million was collected. The remote issuing of warrants at roadblocks took a year to set up - and only two mobile units were allegedly delivered. In addition, remote paypoints for traffic fine payment were never set up. And a subscriber service informing motorists of traffic problems was promised - but never set up. Last week, the JMPD said all services offered by 2Big Mobile, including the SMS service, had been terminated. However, 2Big Mobile Applications operations director Mokgatle Maesela said his company's services always operated without glitches. "Because of personal differences with some top JMPD officials, we are now being prevented from launching our new technologies. "The JMPD wanted to cancel our contract but the City of Johannesburg mayoral committee refused to do so," said Maesela. "We have not been paid since November, despite the fact that the mayoral committee said our contract should not be cancelled. "It is not a technology issue at all - we have the systems available but are being prevented from implementing them. "We believe there is corruption involved at some level," he said, adding that the contract was valid until 2009. Gabu Tugwana, director of communications for the City of Johannesburg, said he couldn't comment on the matter as the mayoral committee was in recess for two weeks. He referred queries to metro police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar. Minnaar confirmed that 2Big Mobile's services had been discontinued on June 13 but said he could not comment on the termination as the matter was being dealt with by lawyers. He said they had opted for a new system of paying fines on the Internet as it was "more efficient and motorists can view the photos of the infringements and pay immediately online free of charge".
