Cameras to be integrated into upgraded motorways network.(CCTV NEWS)
IN A DEAL worth 490 [pounds sterling] million, surveillance cameras will be linked to the Highways Agency's telecommunications network of traffic control centres via a national digital system.
The 10-year National Road Telecommunications Services (NRTS) project will provide a national digital system linking more than 14,000 message signs, emergency telephones, CCTV cameras and traffic monitoring systems to the Agency's control centre network.
The upgrade will use Internet-based technology to support advanced roadside services and new initiatives, such as access to real-time video pictures of traffic conditions via the web. The NRTS project will see data carried between roadside devices and Agency control centres, initially using the existing communication network.
However, within two years this will be upgraded and expanded in order to provide a new nationwide network. Currently, a mixture of optical fibre and copper cables transmit voice and data signals from the various roadside devices to the 32 Police Control Offices serving England's motorways.
