Driver Duress

A driver duress situation in a taxi requires reliable and immediate response. In addition to transmission of back to base 2 way audio and GPS coordinates, the DTI system is able to transmit video or (where 3G coverage or bandwidth is limited) a series of still images surrounding the duress call. The additional information provided by remote live video, provides an immediate assessment of the situation enabling monitoring centre to remain informed throughout the event and rapidly engage the appropriate response. DTI have deployed driver duress systems (DDS) across several transit networks. The duress response system is part of DTI’s Fleet manager suite.

Event Tagging

All driver and vehicle tagged events are stored as rich metadata within the recording timeline. The system may be configured to archive sections of video surrounding the tagged events for automated download on return to base and ease of searching.

Camera Coverage & Picture Quality

In the demanding Rail, bus and Law Enforcement sector, DTI mobile systems are renowned for exceptional image quality. The same high quality image standards, reliability and advanced video data management are now available in a cost effective solution, designed specifically for the Australian and International taxi industry.

Typical camera installations provide coverage for:

• Front seat (passenger area) camera with wide angle lens (1-2)
• Rear seat (passenger area) camera with wide angle lens (1-2)
• Side facing street camera kerbside (1)
• Side facing street camera roadside (1)

DTI’s taxi system is capable of seamlessly recording both analogue and IP megapixel cameras. Certain vehicle layouts benefit from a single, high definition image as opposed to the limitation of current analogue camera technology, which requires the use of multiple lower quality analogue cameras stitched together to achieve the same result.
