For the Traffic violations detection module operation program module for identifying the plates and that is being set up is required (see Activating the program module, used for identifying the plates section).

To set the Traffic violations detection module, do the following:

1. Go to Traffic violations detection object settings panel, which is created on the basis of LPR channel object.
   

2. In Traffic lights signal dropdown list select the object (Sensor or Traffic Light Detection) by signal of which the light of traffic light is detected (1).

   Info
   title Note.
   Information about Sensor object is presented in the Creating and configuring the Sensor system object section. Information about Traffic Light Detection module is presented in Detector PackDetectorPack PSIM. User Guide User’s Manual document (see Detector PackDetectorPack PSIM).

   
   

   Note
   title Attention!
   For correct operation of the Traffic violations detection module disarm the corresponding Sensor object.

   
   

3. From the Alarm direction dropdown list select the signal of traffic light detection on which the traffic violations detection is to be responded (2).
   1. Basic - − to fix violation use the base signal of the traffic light.
   2. Left - − to fix violation use the left arrow of the traffic light.
   3. Right - − to fix violation use the right arrow of the traffic light.
4. Set the Draw stop line checkbox if it's necessary to overlay a stop line before the traffic light (3).
5. Set up the stop line displaying:

      1. Set the areas corresponding to following zones: before stop line. stop line, crosswalk, crossroads. To set the violation areas, click the points corresponding to the boarder of selected area in the video frame.

      1. Click OK.

         Info
         title Note.
         To remove the area click the Image Modified button close to the corresponding button.

         
         

   2. In the Delay in violation registering field enter time (in milliseconds) that determines the time interval after which after switching on a red light the violations will fix (6).

   3. In the Time of stop for recording field enter time (in milliseconds) that determines the time interval during which the vehicle should stay still while registering the Stop over crosswalk line violation (7).
      
      

      Info
      title Note
      If the Stop over crosswalk line violation is registered incorrectly, you can change the values of the registry key parameters that affect its accuracy. Changing the registry key parameters values enables the alarm activation even if only one plate is recognized at the crosswalk, regardless of the vehicle movement. To do this, change the Alarms.CrossWalkOne and Alarms.LimitedByBestResult values to 1 (for details, see Registry keys reference guide and Working with Windows OS registry).

      
      

   4. In the Number of pictures to trace alarm field specify number of photos which will be stored from the moment of LP recognizing on the base recognizer to the moment of LP recognizing on the additional recognizer (10).
   5. In the Add.photos fielld enter the number of photos made before the licence plate fixing and after its going out the control zone (8).

   6. In the Interval field enter time (in milliseconds) that determines the time interval between saving additional photos (9).

      Note
      title Attention!
      For correct operation of synchronized frames recording set the checkbox in Automatic recording on LPR channel object setting panel and set value of time that is bigger than the product of Number of frames for saving and Interval of frame saving parameter points.

      
      

   7. In the Additional recognizers table specify additional LPR channels if it's required to use them along with the base recognizer (11).
      1. To add additional recognizer right-click in the Additional recognizers list, then click Add in the drop-down menu.
         
      2. From the LP recognition drop-down list select the additional recognizer (1).
         
      3. From the Sensor: drop-down list select the sensor which will send events about traffic light operation (2).
      4. From the State drop-down list select event from the sensor on which violation will be fixed (3).
      5. From the Alarm drop-down list select the corresponding type of violation (4).

      6. Click OK. The specified parameters will be added to the Additional recognizer table.
         

         Info
         title Note.
         To modify recognizers in the rable, right-click the required recognizer to open the functional menu. Click Delete all button if the Additional recognizers table it to be cleared.

         
         

   8. To save the changings click Apply.

      Info
      title Note
      The recognition results can be saved to the hard drive for the Traffic violations detection module debugging. To do this, change the SaveRecognitionResult registry key parameter value to 1 (for details, see Registry keys reference guide and Working with Windows OS registry).

      
      

   The Traffic violations detection module setup is complete.

   Logic of working the Traffic violation detection is explained in the following example.

   ...

   Several cameras are used for this purpose:

   • Main main camera - − by one on each lane focused on the crossing and they detect and recognize license plates of vehicles entered to the crossing. Vehicles are moving to cameras.;
   • Additionaladditional, overview camera directed behind vehicles entered to the crossing (vehicles are moving from the camera). The traffic light with the red signal is also in the field of camera view.
