LUVIEW Intelligent Video Surveillance Solution for Buses

Background

As urban public transportation systems continue to evolve, bus transport has become not only a convenient mode of travel but also a sector fraught with management and safety monitoring challenges. Confronted with the growing complexity of traffic conditions and the evolving needs of passengers, bus companies and related authorities are in dire need of more effective management strategies to ensure operational safety and service quality. The primary challenges encompass safety assurance and accident prevention (for instance, the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents due to drivers’ rule-breaking behaviors, which jeopardize the safety of passengers) as well as the quality and operational efficiency of bus services (such as the inflexibility in vehicle scheduling and the inadequate capacity to handle unexpected incidents).

1. User Requirement Analysis

In response to the aforementioned issues, different stakeholders have their own focal points: The management aims to ensure that drivers adhere to regulations and drive courteously, while being able to monitor the real-time status of the vehicles; they also require solid evidence to handle violations and service disputes. Passengers, on the other hand, seek a safe and comfortable riding experience, and expect prompt and effective resolution when encountering problems.

2. Innovative Solution

To meet these requirements, LUVIEW has proposed a 360-degree panoramic intelligent video surveillance solution. This solution aims to comprehensively enhance the safety, transparency, and service level of public transportation operations through technological means.

3. System Introduction

This system synthesizes images from four fisheye lenses outside the vehicle into a seamless panoramic image through software algorithms, and transmits it in real time to the DVD display screen via an AV signal. The greatest innovation of this technology is that users can create custom viewpoints, that is, custom virtual cameras. The system can freely and dynamically switch perspectives, and intelligently emphasize images of different ranges around the vehicle during driving and parking. At the same time, this system is also a 24-hour in-vehicle DVR system, providing users with all-weather driving records, driving/parking assistance, parking monitoring and other functions. It is a high-tech intelligent hardware product for vehicles.

4. System Features

  • 360° All-Around Monitoring: 24-hour non-stop surveillance and recording of the 360° panoramic view inside and outside the vehicle, covering all directions including front, back, left, and right.
  • 3D Panoramic Imaging: Captures images from multiple angles using several cameras and synthesizes them into a three-dimensional (3D) view through software. This technology provides a stereoscopic visual effect of the vehicle’s surroundings, helping drivers to more intuitively understand the situation around them.
  • Infrared Night Vision & High-Definition Water Resistance: Equipped with infrared night vision cameras, ensuring vehicle safety monitoring whether driving at night or parked by the roadside.
  • Four-Channel Simultaneous Recording & Smooth Image Quality: Supports multi-view display with full-angle high-definition image quality on the monitor, ensuring clear images and simple operation.
  • Automatic Rear-View Switching: When the vehicle enters reverse mode, the system automatically switches to the rear camera or displays a comprehensive rear panoramic image, allowing the driver to clearly see the rear situation. This function simplifies reversing operations and reduces the likelihood of accidents.
  • Automatic Steering-Linked Switching: Based on the steering wheel’s turning direction, the system automatically adjusts the display angle to prioritize showing the road conditions on the turning side. For example, when turning left, the system automatically switches to the perspective of the left camera, helping the driver better judge the road conditions.
  • Automatic Plane Correction: The LUVIEW 360 panoramic video surveillance system can automatically correct image distortions caused by lens aberrations or other factors, ensuring that the final displayed image is more realistic and natural. This technology guarantees the quality and accuracy of the images, providing a more reliable visual reference. Through the LUVIEW 360 intelligent video surveillance solution, we can significantly enhance the management level and service quality of the public transportation system, creating a safer and more convenient travel environment for passengers.
