Urbanization is a never-ending phenomenon. Increasing urban populations and complex infrastructure pose multiple challenges for municipalities. Even though not all geographic areas have a complete traffic management system, municipalities and law enforcement agencies must still serve citizens and maintain traffic safety. Mobile vehicle detection systems are easy to deploy and offer a mobile solution for areas that lack a fixed violation detection system. Mobile detection systems help prevent traffic safety violations and promote the safety of people and property.

Cincoze’s customer provides ICT services and develops smart city solutions in Western Asia through the development of intelligent transportation for metropolitan municipalities. They deploy mobile detection systems to capture and process images of vehicles for license plate recognition. The detection equipment in the system automatically detects violations in the area. A robust in-vehicle computer is required to record, process, and transmit data accurately.

Fast Image Processing

Since fast image processing, live recording, and automatic number plate recognition are the main applications of this system, the customer requires high-performance computing power without latency, providing immediate inference analysis and event response for law enforcement while capturing high-resolution video and images from connected cameras.

Rugged Design

All the equipment in the mobile detection system has passed shock/vibration tests. The computing system needs to be tough and reliable to operate in harsh and extreme environmental conditions.

Multiple I/O and Maintenance Ease

The computer has to be I/O rich to connect to many devices, including cameras, IR lighting, sensors, and peripheral security devices, to detect vehicles violating the rules. Easily replaceable additional I/Os are necessary for maintenance. Moreover, leveraging 4G LTE wireless connectivity for continuous connectivity with the cloud is required.

High Performance

Cincoze’s DS-1200 series supports an Intel® 9th/8th Gen Core™, Pentium®, or Celeron® 35W/65W processor and supports DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM memory. With additional video capture cards or GPU cards, the DS-1200 allows for fast, accurate real-time visual inference analysis.

Ruggedness

The DS-1200 series operates in a broad temperature range of -40 to 70°C, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. It uses industrial-grade components and features a fanless and cableless design, a wide-range DC power input (9–48V DC), a high tolerance for vibration/shock (5G/50G), and industrial-grade protection (OVP, OCP, ESD Surge, etc.). It has passed multiple rigorous tests and complies with industry standards EN50155 (EN50121-3-2) for reliable operations in moving vehicles or railway environments.

Industrial Connectivity and Modular Expansion

The DS-1200 series comes with a rich variety of I/O connectors, including 2x GbE LAN, 8x USB, 1x DVI-I, 2x DisplayPort, 2x RS-232/422/485, and a remote power/reset connector. The DS-1200 offers 2x SATA III bays, 3x full-size Mini-PCIe slots, and 1x M.2 M-key 2280 socket for NVMe. The system also has 2x front-accessible SIM card slots for 4G LTE connections. Through Cincoze’s CMI/CFM expansion, the DS-1200 supports up to 8x GbE/PoE+ ports and more I/O or other functionality such as power ignition sensing. Two other models, the DS-1201 and DS-1202, have one and two PCIe expansion slots for add-on card expansion. The modular design has the benefit of easy replacement and flexible upgradability.

Cincoze also offers the DS-1300 series, boasting more powerful, workstation-grade Intel® 10th-gen Xeon® and Core™ i9/ i7/ i5/ i3 processors with up to 2x PCIe expansion. It is a high-performance expandable embedded computer with flexible expansion for specific applications.
