Singapore’s LTA (Land Transport Authority) is the agency responsible for the development and infrastructure of Singapore’s highways, roadways and railways. A few years ago the agency was tasked with setting up Junction Electronic Eyes (J-Eyes), a system of surveillance cameras installed at major signalized junctions to act as remote eyes for operators at the control center. Today, the system monitors and manages traffic along
expressways; can deter illegal parking and loading or unloading along major roads; deters congestion; implements appropriate action plans and provides motorists with updated traffic information on incidents to mitigate their effects. The overall result is a safer and more pleasant journey.
Video surveillance traces its roots to the 1960’s when closed-circuit television was first used to monitor and record activities at remote locations. Technology has advanced substantially in nearly half a century since then, making video surveillance more versatile and affordable than ever before. With so many advances in digital cameras, video compression, wireless networks and other areas, it is now feasible and cost-effective to make video surveillance more widespread, and therefore, more effective.
