Located in the middle of the deep forests of Småland in the south of Sweden, the Strandudden Gated Community has been designed to provide a safe environment for homeowners who wish to enjoy a high quality of life. The first phase of the development has seen the construction of 18 apartments which have stunning lake views. The materials and features of each apartment have been carefully selected to ensure sustainable energy consumption. Wisenet cameras When the development is completed, over 100 Wisenet cameras manufactured by Hanwha Techwin, will enable security personnel to closely monitor the movements of people and vehicles as they enter and move around the public areas of the gated community. 6 Wisenet cameras were initially installed during the construction of the apartments. These have been used to ensure strict compliance with the site’s health & safety regulations, and to keep a close eye on valuable plant and machinery. “We evaluated products from a number of different manufacturers, but the superb quality of the images captured by the Wisenet cameras made it a very easy decision for us to rec ommend that they should be deployed throughout the Community,” said a representative of Elajo, one of Sweden’s leading electrical, mechanical, engineering and energy installation companies who were awarded the contract to manage the project, “Equally important, the massive processing power of the chipsets of the open platform cameras means that our client is able to run specialist applications such as licence plate recognition (ANPR), in order to control vehicle access to the Community.” Camera selection The Hanwha Techwin Europe presales and technical teams have worked closely with Elajo to ensure the best camera types have been specified for each of the carefully chosen camera locations. 6 different Wisenet models have been selected to ensure high quality images can be captured day or night and that there are no blind spots. Among these is the Wisenet IP network PNP9200RH 4K PTZ dome which has builtin IR illumination. The PNP-9200RH, which is IP66 and IK10 rated for vandal-resistance and outdoor use in the harshest environments, utilises progressive scan technology to provide sharp edges on moving subjects and vehicles. The PNP-9200RHs which have been installed at the entrance to the community are equipped with the Wisenet group ANPR solution which provides the opportunity to automatically control the movement of white listed cars through barriers via camera relay outputs. Developed by Hanwha Techwin in partnership with analytics experts, FF Group, the solution uses camera-tocamera IP communication technology to enable up to 4 Wisenet group ANPR cameras to work together, with data from each simultaneously transmitted to a single web based display. Wisenet WAVE I mages from all 100 cameras will be displayed in the community’s control room via Wisenet WAVE video management software (VMS). An intuitive ‘drag & drop’ tool makes it extremely easy for operators to set up a display of live and recorded images on a single screen or video wall, with customisable layouts and sizes. Other key features include a virtual PTZ, which with just simple clicks of a mouse, enables operators to zoom in to see close up detail of any suspicious activity, whilst motion detection and video analytics support can be configured to generate alerts when user defined incidents occur. Monitoring on the move I n addition to the images being displayed in the community’s control room, should an incident occur that needs a rapid response, security personnel on patrol will be able to remotely view any activity via a smartphone or tablet with the help of the secure Wisenet Mobile App.

The solution is intended to increase the efficiency of port logistics by connecting the Bosch platform to the slot booking procedure of the Hamburg container terminal. In future, instead of clogging up the streets, trucks that are waiting for customs clearance at the terminals can park at Cruise Gate. In this way, the parking facilities available in the port will be increased in an intelligent way. The parking area is access-restricted and video-monitored, and provides drivers with an impressive panorama of the Port of Hamburg. Sanitary facilities are also available. Intelligent use of existing parking spaces Bosch Secure Truck Parking at the ‘Cruise Center Steinwerder’ cruise terminal relieves traffic on Hafenstraße and preserves resources. Jan-Philipp Weers, Head of Bosch Secure Truck Parking, commented, “Together with Cruise Gate Hamburg and Logistik-Initiative Hamburg, we are creating the conditions for economical and environmentally-friendly parking management to work. The existing parking space is used efficiently. The parking space search is no longer necessary due to the Internet reservation. This reduces emissions, prevents random parking and makes truckers’ lives less stressful. We are very proud to be making an important contribu tion to road safety here in Hamburg.” Sacha Rougier, Managing Director of Cruise Gate Hamburg, describes the new service, “Cruise Gate Hamburg is continuously searching for solutions to optimally utilize the parking spaces, also on days when no cruise ships are docked. We are delighted that we have found a partner in Bosch Secure Truck Parking with which we can improve the difficult parking situation for truckers in the port area and surrounding truck stops. The fact that you can reliably make a booking and the high standards of security are a big plus for truck drivers.” Hans Stapelfeldt, ITS Network Manager at Logistik-Initiative Hamburg, also believes that the future collaboration will be of great benefit. He said, “I am delighted that no green areas have to be sealed over to create new parking facilities; existing areas, which otherwise remain unused on days when there are no cruise ship dockings, are being used in an intelligent way.” Smarter parking: faster, easier and secure Around 14,000 more parking spaces are needed for trucks in Germany. The shortage often has farreaching consequences: accidents, increased fuel consumption and cargo theft. To make truck parking faster, easier and secure, Bosch provides a service that allows truckers to reserve parking spaces at truck stops and company premises throughout Europe.
