Configuring IntelliSight Devices: Camera Setup

Assigning Conditions, Actions, and Overlays

Each zone will have conditions and actions associated with it in the following structure.
The zone is the defined area of detection. A condition defines the purpose of the zone. Currently, the conditions that can be assigned to a zone include:
  • Vehicle presence: the purpose of the zone is to detect the presence of vehicles. This includes cars, trucks, buses, etc. This condition is selected by default in the Easy Setup section.
  • Bicycle presence: the purpose of the zone is to detect and differentiate the presence of bicycles from other types of vehicles. When selected, a bicycle icon appears at the front of zone. This condition can be selected in either the Easy Setup or Zones Explorer sections.
  • Crossing Pedestrian: provides a means of sending an output when a pedestrian crosses a certain area traveling a specific direction.
  • Pedestrian Presence: the purpose of the zone is to detect the presence of pedestrians. The condition can be selected in either the Easy Setup or Zones Explorer sections.
  • Pulse: provides a means of sending an output when vehicles exit the zone.
  • Phase Color: provides a means of sending an output for a defined phase state.
  • Presence with Phase: the purpose of the zone is to detect the presence of vehicles during a selected phase.
  • Snappy: provides a presence out during RED, and pulse output during GREEN.
  • Speed: provides a means of sending an output when the average speed of specified sample count is outside the defined limit.
  • Stopped Vehicle: provides a means of sending an output when a vehicle is stopped in a zone.
An action defines what the system is to do when a condition is activated. Currently, the actions that can be defined include:
  • Dislplay zone: on the video, the zone or bicycle icon is outlined in the selected colors. One color indicates when the condition is active, and a second color indicates when the condition is not active. Only one Display zone action can be associated with a condition.
  • Set output: the selected output is sent to the controller when detection takes place. On power up or when Apply Settings is activated, all assigned outputs are set to "call" (ON), and stay in "call" until detection sets the output OFF or for a maximum of five minutes, whichever occurs first. The initial state of an output can be changed in the Actions Explorer section.
  • Caution should be used when setting the initial state to OFF as this is a system failsafe option. Setting the initial state to OFF should only be used for zones that are not responsible for placing calls at the stopline (i.e., zones that will not leave vehicles stranded during sensor or system start up.
If more than one output is to be associated with a condition, the Zones Explorer section must be used. If no output is to be associated with a condition, it must be removed in either the Zones Explorer or Actions Explorer section.
An overlay is something that can be defined to appear on the video image. This includes the outline of the zone, condition LEDs, output LEDs, and user-defined text that can be added to the image. The Show Video Overlay check box is used to display overlays only when video is playing. The Show Setup Controls check box is used to display overlays on the Zone Setup screen for both static images and video. The types of overlays that can be added to a video images are:
  • Zone outline: this overlay shows the lines that define the zone.
  • Output LED: added from the Actions Explorer section, this overlay provides and LED icon for the selected output. The LED changes intensity when the output activated.
  • Condition LED: added from the Actions Explorer section, this overlay provides an LED icon for the selected condition (vehicle and bicycle presence). The LED changes intensity when the condition is activated.
  • Device Name: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay displays the name of the sensor on the video image.
  • System Time: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay displays the current date and time on the video image.
  • Phase Label: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay displays a signal head label to show the phase color information on the video image.
  • Walk Indication: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay provides an icon of a pedestrian on the video image.
  • Firmware Version: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay displays the firmware version of the sensor on the video image.
  • Static text: added from the Video Overlays section, this overlay displays user-defined text on the video image.
There are four sections in the conditions/actions panel: Easy Setup, Zones Explorer, Actions Explorer, and Video Overlays.
