Traffic Management at Freeway Service Area

In addition to providing rest for travelers, highway rest areas in Taiwan serve various additional functions. They offer scenic viewpoints, local shopping, and regional cuisine, making them popular destinations for the general public seeking recreational experiences.

The newly opened East Caotun Rest Area on National Highway No. 6 is a crucial hub for travelers heading to the mountainous regions of central Taiwan. The area experiences exceptionally high traffic volumes during weekends, and as the only rest area on this highway, it sees a significant number of both parked vehicles and visiting tourists. Recording, managing, and analyzing pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this high-density environment requires extensive equipment deployment.

Bullet Cameras for Parking Area

At East Caotun Rest Area, the parking area covers nearly two-thirds of the site. The surveillance strategy aims for full coverage, with each light pole in the parking spaces equipped with two to three cameras facing different directions. Multiple camera angles record vehicles from different perspectives to support traffic flow calculations.

Dome Cameras for Indoor Scenarios

Dome cameras are suitable for indoor spaces: they are less intrusive and blend better with store design.

The deployment strategy uses wide-angle and high-resolution cameras to focus on clarity within the indoor space. The Z7R6482X3 was chosen for its low-light performance, which supports night-time monitoring. The Z7 series supports traffic and pedestrian management, with capabilities for future expansion.
