UniTrak joined Peek Traffic’s family of video
detection solutions in 2005, as a cost-effective and
accurate single-camera detection device
designed as a replacement for traditional in-road
inductive loop detectors. The UniTrak design is
optimized to allow rapid installation as a form, fit
and functional replacement to existing detector
cards. In 2007, it was updated to UniTrak 2, with improved hardware and a more accurate and powerful video detection algorithm.
Here is a recorded video of UniTrak 2 in operation:

The UniTrak solution displays on site traffic
scenes with visual verification of proper zone
placement and proper vehicle detection. This
also provides a flexible, easily modified
configuration of as many as 26 detection zones.
The card reduces high maintenance costs and
inefficient intersection operations caused by the
failure of traditional detection loops, which are
buried in the road surface.
Color-coded zones indicate that the zone is initializing (red), learning (yellow), monitoring but no vehicle detected (blue), or currently detecting a vehicle (green). Zones can be modified by clicking and dragging on a corner handle. Zones can be moved by clicking and dragging in the middle. Zones are labeled, and show if directionality is active and which direction of flow is being detected.
How It Works
Each UniTrak video camera is mounted in
accordance with a Peek site survey. Typically,
cameras are mounted on traffic signal mast arms
or luminaire arms for unobstructed views of
multiple lanes. Power and video are the only
required connections to the camera housing.

The UniTrak Video Detector Card is inserted into
a traffic controller detector rack. A technician
connects a video monitor and mouse to view the
video and defines as many as 26 configurable
areas of detection or zones. These zones can
then be logically mapped to the four card-edge
outputs, and/or extender card outputs. This is
done using an easy-to-operate graphical user
interface (GUI). Additionally, four more logical
outputs can be mapped to one or more optional
IC222/224 Extender Cards.
Each detector zone has an output that becomes
active when a vehicle is detected inside the zone.
The output is programmed to have an ”on” or
”off” state during fail safe (bad video or any
other fail safe conditions).
The configuration information is stored in
memory and remains valid regardless of long
power outages.
