As night falls, the traffic on the highway shows no signs of slowing down, but...Dark environments and blinding high beams pose significant hazards for road monitoring.。
A truck suddenly broke down on the emergency lane, and due to poor visibility at night, it was not discovered in time. Within just ten minutes, it caused a traffic jam stretching over three kilometers; the high beams from the opposite lane directly shone into the camera lens, blanketing the screen with white, just missing the crucial moment of a pedestrian crossing the highway.These pain points of night-time monitoring not only relate to safety of passage but also directly impact the operational efficiency of highways.
Policy Guidance Urges Immediate Enhancement of Highway Monitoring Capabilities
In August 2024, the Office of the Ministry of Transport issued a notice titled "On Further Strengthening Monitoring and Early Warning to Enhance Highway Disaster Prevention and Resistance Capabilities," which explicitly states:On critical risk sectionsThe standard now requires the installation of monitoring facilities at least once every 1 kilometer.No Chinese content provided. Please provide the text to be translated.Full-roadway video monitoring and analysis, automatic identification of road surface conditionsOur goal. This policy has outlined the direction for the construction of highway monitoring and early warning capabilities, and it also pertains to the technology..."Intelligence" and "effectiveness" call for higher standards.
Existing issues with the monitoring methods on expressways
Highways, as opposed to general roads, feature high closure, high traffic volume, and fast speeds. To ensure the safety and smoothness of highways, relevant departments have installed video surveillance in key areas. However, under good lighting conditions, the quality of traditional video surveillance can be guaranteed, but...Effective surveillance images are not achievable under night conditions, intense lighting, and adverse weather.
Strong Light Dependency: At night or in poor lighting conditions,TraditionalVideo feed lost, details indistinguishable；
Significant Environmental Disturbance Headlights from the opposite lane causing intense glare interferencePlease provide the Chinese content to be translated.Excessive exposure and glare in the surveillance footage, momentaryBlinding；
Lack of intelligence:Traditional surveillance relies on manual patrols, failing to intelligently detect incidents like traffic jams, accidents, or pedestrians entering unauthorized areas. This hinders immediate response and leads to delayed handling of the first event.
Choosing the right product, solving high-speed monitoring challenges can be as easy as pie.
Fearless in the face of "darkness and brightness," clear imaging at all times
Thermal imaging technology is not dependent on external light, as it captures images through sensing the thermal radiation of objects, completely freeing itself from environmental constraints such as darkness at night, intense glare, and backlighting. Whether it's in the pitch-black of night or facing oncoming bright headlights, it canDeliver clear, uninterrupted thermal imaging imagery.Achieve24/7 uninterrupted reliable monitoring.

Command and Control Department:By relying on clear video feedback, we can make more comprehensive and scientific decisions.
Management Leadership:The system enables a full-process closed-loop management of pre-warning, on-site handling, and post-event review for key road sections, enhancing traffic flow and safety management levels.
Case Studies: Multi-Provincial High-Speed Deployment Applications Yield Positive Results
Currently, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Henan, and other provinces, expressways have taken the lead in implementing the practice. By precisely deploying Hikvision thermal imaging PTZ cameras, medium-load and heavy-load tripods, fixed-point monitoring of key sections and bridges/tunnels is achieved, enabling comprehensive control over a wide range of core sections and critical bridges/tunnels with all-weather situational awareness, and full control of expressway operation and risk dynamics.
The application of thermal imaging technology, akin to fitting an endless pair of eyes on the highway."Fire-Eyed and Gold-Eyed." It breaks the shackles of ambient light, reshapes the night-time monitoring and early warning model, transforming safety management from passive response to...Comprehensive Perception, Intelligent Early WarningThis is an innovative practice in response to policy calls, constructing smart highways, and safeguarding public safety in travel.
