In addition to providing rest for travelers, highway rest areas in Taiwan serve various additional functions. They offer scenic viewpoints, local shopping, and regional cuisine, making them popular destinations for the general public seeking recreational experiences.
The newly opened East Caotun Rest Area on National Highway No. 6 is a crucial hub for travelers heading to the mountainous regions of central Taiwan. The area experiences exceptionally high traffic volumes during weekends, and as the only rest area on this highway, it sees a significant number of both parked vehicles and visiting tourists. Effective recording, management, and analysis of pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this high-density environment require sophisticated and comprehensive equipment deployment.
Although East Caotun Rest Area is relatively small, its visitor traffic is comparable to larger sites, with bustling stores and full seating. The use of dome cameras proves advantageous here: they offer a lower invasion of privacy, reducing customer discomfort in the stores, and they also blend better with the overall design of the space.
In terms of deployment strategy, the focus is on wide-angle and high-resolution capabilities. The goal is not to capture distant views but to ensure clear and precise visibility within the indoor space. The Z7R6482X3 from LILIN was chosen for its exceptional low-light imaging capability, allowing it to perform effectively even during store closures at night. The Z7 series cameras' flexible and comprehensive AI functions also provide future-proofing for expanded monitoring applications, with traffic and pedestrian management being just the basic features.
Even without considering technological enforcement, LILIN's rapid dome cameras are commonly found across Taiwan's highways, especially at interchange junctions. It is not uncommon to see LILIN rapid dome cameras mounted on 18-meter-high traffic poles. The main reasons for the effectiveness of these cameras in such settings include:
"One of the advantages of LILIN's product line is its ability to handle complex conditions effectively. Whether it's transitioning between day and night lighting, severe weather conditions, or high-traffic areas, the product line offers tailored solutions for each scenario."
