Essa Case Studies

Urban Traffic Control 24

What is Urban Traffic Control?

Providing up-to-the-minute services for the county's roads, Urban Traffic

Control keeps the traffic flowing. Whether assisting Police with incidents via

CCTV or ANPR, informing the local radio stations of traffic conditions or

managing traffic signals for the emergency services, the Devon County UTC

system provides a unique and essential service to the county and beyond

System Overview

Devon County Council draws on a number of CCTV camera

feeds from across the county and further afield, from Bristol

down to Cornwall.

ESSA has provided a full control room facility including its

own server & multiple client Touchview Control System to

control CCTV via a number of transmission technologies, as

well as rear projection screens for display of CCTV and other

monitored services within the control centre.

ESSA was contracted to provide ANPR & Surveillance Systems for the highways of Devon and surrounding arterial routes.

Security Monitoring 25

Palmer & Harvey is a retail, logistics and support company offering products

and services to a multitude of “local” known branded retail shops and outlets

System Overview

Derived from the requirement to bring remote monitoring of

security systems “in house”, ESSA provided its own

• Chameleon system software for remote CCTV and

• ANPR monitoring of installed systems

at the sites operated by Palmer & Harvey.

As well as having provided a complete control room fit-out,

ESSA provided the ANPR systems at the logistics depot

giving ground-based staff the ability to assess the status of

vehicles coming and going from the yard as well as

enhancing site security

Palmer & Harvey commissioned ESSA to provide CCTV & ANPR multi-site remote monitoring for their retail & logistics operation.

Public Space Surveillance System 26

Exeter City Council chose ESSA to design & implement a public space surveillance

system in the town centre control room.

Exeter is a historic city located on the banks of the River Exe, with a population of

120,000 and a modern, successful business edge.

The city has become home to a number of large businesses, including the University

of Exeter and the MET Office.

System Overview

Exeter City Council has a unique CCTV control system

consisting of a:

• multi-site ESSA technology control system

• 300+ feeds from around the city and area from a number

of distinct public space locations, including:

• highways,

• car parks,

• shopping arcades,

• the high street,

• parks and other

• municipal facilities.

ESSA has provided a hybrid of technologies to the town

centre system combining a number of CCTV transmission

technologies including wireless, fibre-optic and IP based

technologies. The system has proved a successful tool in

crime prevention, crime reduction and public safety.

ANPR Solution for Sussex Police & Gatwick Airport 27

ESSA was commissioned to provide a comprehensive back office "BOF"

solution for management of the county-wide LPR systems of Sussex Police.

This project included the incorporation of a comprehensive and high-capacity

LPR solution at Gatwick Airport to monitor and track vehicle activity.

Sussex Police covers the Sussex region, serving its local population of 1.5

million, and provides the security required for the 30 million people who travel

through the airport at Gatwick annually

System Overview

From an initial 120 lanes of ANPR lane management, the

ESSA BOF system installed at the Sussex Police site is now

covering more than 160 lanes of traffic.

This is in addition to servicing Gatwick Airport and managing

more than 1.2 million number plate hits per day, or

approximately 438 million vehicle hits per year.

This in its own right is testament to ESSA’s capability to

cope with large-scale LPR projects and successfully

manage the huge outputs of generated data from such

systems.
