Eastern Black Sea Coastal Road Tunnels

 

1 Project | 2 Crucial Implementation 🤟🏻

A monumental achievement for traffic safety in Turkey – our state-of-the-art a2-VCA Automatic Incident Detection System is now operational across one of the most crucial road sections in the country, the Eastern Black Sea Coast Road traversing Giresun, Trabzon, Rize, and Artvin.

Across 28 separate tunnels with 45 bores, real-time video analysis is conducted by the a2-VCA system. It not only alerts operators in the face of any risk but also provides essential traffic data, promoting safety, and efficiency in traffic management.

With six regional command centers monitoring these tunnels, an additional primary control center in Trabzon manages the comprehensive network. Inclusive of the Salarha and Akyazı tunnels, the primary control center enables unified and centralized surveillance through our sophisticated a2-Backoffice central management solution.

A robust collaborative effort involving our global solution partners Pelco, Intel Corporation, Dell EMC (NGTech), and Belden Inc.-Hirschmann Industrial Network Solutions, alongside the project integrator Kırtur and the General Directorate of Highways, Turkey has ensured the successful implementation of this significant project.

Here’s to a safer journey across the vibrant landscapes of the Eastern Black Sea.

a2-VCA Reached 41 Tunnels in 2021

a2-VCA Automatic Incident Detection

Highways, which are heavily used for transportation, are the riskiest transportation network according to accident statistics. Especially, undesirable incidents that may take place on the road increase the risk of accident dramatically. In order to prevent accidents, it is crucial to be aware of the risk factors on the route in question and to eliminate these risks.

In spaces with limited escape routes, such as tunnels, highways and bridges, even a small accident can have very serious consequences. In the event of an accident, the delay in intervention causes these consequences to be even more severe.

a2-VCA Incident Detection System is a video-analysis-based safe transportation solution that instantly detects accidents or incidents that may cause accidents by processing live images taken from cameras that monitor the road in real time, and warns operators through audible and visual alarms.

One of the most used Incident Detection Solutions in Turkey, a2-VCA is working in 41 tunnels with 1,792 cameras in 8 cities.

a2 Traffic Enforcement Systems Within Denizli City Have Been Activated

a2 Traffic Enforcement Systems within Denizli (an Aegean city in Turkey) have been activated as of Friday, October 1, 2021. Comprehensive controls will be provided by a2 systems which are spread throughout the city. There are 123 Section Speed Detection Systems in 20 corridors and also Wrong Park Detection Systems at 23 points. Thanks to the instant detection of violations, the traffic flow will become safer and the number of accidents will gradually decrease.

According to the data of the World Health Organization; Road traffic crashes lead to the loss of over 1.3 million lives and cause nonfatal injuries to as many as 50 million people around the world each year. Road traffic crashes are the main cause of death among people aged between 15 and 29 years. About 94% of all road accidents are caused by human error and most of them are a violation of Traffic Rules like Speed Limits. A 5% cut in average speed can result in a 30% reduction in the number of fatal road traffic crashes. This is why controls are extremely valuable.

Value in Engineering: Optimization

It is not enough to develop an idea or develop a system in the face of a problem. The important thing is that your solution is feasible. This is where engineering comes in. Real engineering is to produce the optimum solution. You have to strike a balance, reduce consumption and budget while increasing efficiency.

As a2 Technology, we always value optimization and approach resource consumption sensitively while developing our applications. The most competitive strengths of a2 solutions are our optimized algorithms and unique AI models. We significantly reduce our customers’ total budget and become the preferred brand.

Intel, one of our most important solution partners, continues to support the industry with the same vision and offers new capabilities to application developers. The Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit makes an extremely important contribution to our solutions.

We train our AI models with original datasets, and thus we constantly increase our analysis success rates. Within our 2020-2021 R&D plans, we optimized our model files with OpenVINO™, increasing the working speed up to 220% without reducing the success rates. In this way, we achieved 62% savings in resource consumption and hardware budget.
