International. Hikvision developed its entire vehicle monitoring and inspection project on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge using fixed and portable vehicle surveillance systems.
The three most famous bay cities in the world have one feature in common, sharing at least one well-known bridge: the San Francisco Bay Area features the Golden Gate and San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridges; New York is home to the Verrazano-Narrows and Brooklyn Bridges, and Tokyo has the Great Hedge Bridge and tokyo Gate Bridge.
Now, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao metropolitan area in China has the longest sea bridge in the world, which with its 55 km in length connects Hong Kong (Special Administrative Region), Macau (Special Administrative Region) and Mainland China, reducing travel time from three hours to 30 minutes.
Designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons, 400 thousand tons of steel were used in its construction, enough to build 60 Eiffel Towers. The functions of the bridge are to meet the demand for land transport of passengers and goods between Hong Kong, the mainland (particularly the Pearl River region, west side) and Macau, to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River, and to enhance the economic and sustainable development of the three places.
The seaports of Zhuhai, Hong Kong and Macau operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing uninterrupted traffic. Hikvision developed its entire vehicle monitoring and inspection project, using its range of vehicle bottom surveillance systems in fixed and portable mode (UVSS).
Fully digital, UVSS has been specifically designed to examine the lower chassis of vehicles, offering a fast and effective means for security personnel to examine moving vehicles, and all with minimal disruption of traffic flow.
This is one of the most important support systems of the project, with plate recognition technology, the intelligent information collection system and the surveillance system under the vehicle.
To address the different application requirements, Hikvision developed two types of UVSS, a fixed model and a portable one. Both models can accurately capture an image of the underside of a moving vehicle, to provide critical and highly detailed safety monitoring.
The new Hikvision UVSS system can be used to automatically detect every vehicle entering or leaving a site, with popular applications including mantraps, customs checkpoints, secure parking entrances and much more.
