Transol manufacture redlight and speed capture and processing systems. Due to the sensitive nature of the evidence, the data must be fully secured at all times and any processing system must be 100% effective at delivering the information to the right bodies at the right time.
Digital images are being captured at sites around the world. These need to be transferred and processed by operators at key central locations and then sent to the various regulatory divisions within their respective areas (courts, police, sheriffs). Due to the sensitive nature of the evidence, the data must be fully secured at all times and any processing system must be 100% effective at delivering the information to the right bodies at the right time. Due to the large number of districts, (all of which have their own requirements), any processing system must be capable of being extended in such a way as to still be maintainable, and still have the required flexibility.
It was immediately apparent upon the initial overview of the system, that key concerns of flexibility, security and robustness, must be addressed with the highest quailty. Using Oracle, Biztalk 2002 and .Net SysTalk were able to implement this solution in 6 months that met their processing requirements and aggressive implementation schedule. Oracle gave the client the required robustness, while Biztalk allowed new clients to be integrated into the system quickly and with a high level of code reuse. The successful completion of this project required systems integration with several key government organisations including the police, courts and the department of motor vehicles (DMV). The project was successfully completed within the required time-frame, overcoming challenges faced in working with some of these departments, including each country or even county having their own legal and DMV systems to integrate with.
The system’s design enabled Transol’s own staff to quickly add and integrate new clients without specialist assistance. As a result Transol were able to process the captured infringements at two processing sites (Melbourne, Australia & Phoenix, USA), with management of the system performed from Los Angeles, USA. The highly distributed nature of the system enabled cost effective use of resources, while maintaining a 24-hour service to the clients. The high level of integration with external vendors (courts, police and Department of Motor Vehicles) enabled seamless, error free processing, which translated into a considerably higher ROI than previous manually intensive systems.
In comparison to similar systems, Transol’s implementation does not suffer from the complexity and frailty of large distributed systems integrated with many vendors. The distributed nature of the system meant that cost effective resources could be utilised from various countries to monitor and process infringements, thus resulting in a high return on investment, and the management of supporting vendors allowed Transol to concentrate on their core business
