TrafficCam
Gear to record video of the pedestrian crossing and the speed of Eastbound traffic in front of Earlham on National Road West.
Research
- Test-drive current Axis camera "in-situ" on the wind geny's tripod. Use the PMP1 for the interface with the directional WiFi antenna. Location is likely to be the shrubbery near the East side of the entrance.
- Research all-in-one systems, see Alan's email.
- Research discrete speed sensors, pay close attention to the interface and data stream.
- mpeg4 vs mjpeg
Shopping
- directional wifi antenna / Newegg url
- comes with N-Type, RP-SMA and RP-TNC connectors
- We will definitely need 2 or 3 of these MC to RP-SMA Adaptors/Cables (example)
- Also, we will need at least 10ft RP-SMA extension cable (male to female)
- AC to DC power supply (I think one of these will do)
- SP-100-12 12V, 0~8.5A
- SP-150-12 12V, 0~12.5A
- SP-150-13.5 13.5V, 0~11.2A
- SP-200-15 15V, 0~13.4A
- SP-150-15 15V, 0~10A
- New PMP
- Speed Sensor [Radar]
- Linksys Router [From Maduna]
Current wifi card
Current battery and charge controller:
Possible technologies
- Technologic Systems single-board computer
- WiFi interface with directional antenna
- DRS1000 Delta speed sensor
- Axis weatherproof camera - Consider the AXIS 211
- POE injector - homebrew with e.g. Linksys vs one with native 12VDC input capability
- Weatherproof case - Consider the AXIS ACH13HB, the datasheet is available at the same URL as the AXIS 211 camera (above) or the AXIS 290B
- Mounting pole
- Step ladder
- Rope
- Power Source
- Large IDE HDD (750GB / 1TB)
Tasks

- redo camera interface to be customized for this project
- measure power consumption of complete unit
- deploy functional traffic cam unit
Image volume calculation
- 60 seconds/minute x 60 minutes/hour x 24 hours/day x 7 days/week x 4.5 weeks/month x 12 months/year = 32,659,200 seconds/year
- 1 frame/second x 20 KB/frame x 32,659,200 seconds/year = 653,184,000 KB/year or 637,875 MB/year or 623 GB/year
Software architecture:
- Cache 2 minutes locally
- Use infobomb stack to transfer and append to current day's movie
- 4a-3:59a movies, sync with infobomb and roll-over, simple trac or fancydir listing by year-month
Questions for Doug
- Interface - 1 second frames, manual video review, automated video review, speed/video correlation,
- Overall duration, 1 year?
- Better density
