Page 8: Drive5 System Installation Manual
Installing the Drive5 involves connecting a system cable (sold separately) to the I/O Board in the Drive5 system (see Quick Start Guide or Section 3 for instructions). The other end of the system cable connects to your power source, your network, and your Vinit trigger input. JAI provides, and strongly recommends, the use of a J-panel board (sold separately) to make these connections. - Page 9 I/O Board LED Ring Light Figure 6.

Each Drive5 system can be configured to cover a single lane or two lanes, depending on type of plate and standard lane sizes. - Page 11 Figure 7 shows a typical single lane configuration. However, with the Drive5’s higher 5-megapixel resolution and 1-inch sensor format, it can cover up to two lanes of traffic. The Drive5’s lens is adjusted during installation to create the following conditions: Standard for US style of plates: 135 pixels across a 1 foot wide license plate placed 2 feet above the ground level at the nominal trigger position (ground loop, laser, etc.).

TNL-50 external flash unit. By positioning this high-powered flash unit a short distance away from the Drive5, proper exposure of the overall scene can be achieved without overexposing the plate. Table 1 below shows the minimum distance from Drive5 to flash/light unit... - Page 13 If the distance from the camera to the trigger line is further than 50 feet, then the spacing between flash and camera will have to be increased to avoid increasing the retro-reflectivity effect, and the intensity of the flash will have to be increased or else the background will not be visible in the image even when retro-reflective license plates are close to saturation.

Page 14: Installing The Drive5 System
The Drive5 system requires a 24V DC power supply. The table below shows the power consumption for two Drive5 units connected to a power supply via the recommended J-Panel board (4.2 * 24 = 100.8 W, steady state). For direct connection of a single unit to a 24V DC power supply, inrush current is 3.5 A, steady state current is 2.0 A. - Page 15 Separate and strip the wires. The 2 pairs of multicore wire can be fitted with bootlace ferrules to keep the cores in place. Connect wires to terminal block X4 on the Drive5 I/O Board in accordance with wiring diagram on enclosures inner lid (see Appendix A and Figures 14 and 15 on the following page).

If the installation utilizes other modes for triggering, the unit can also accept a discrete TTL or Ethernet signal to the Drive5 system whenever the back (or front) of a vehicle crosses a fixed line across the road. This line is referred to as the “trigger line” in this document. -
Page 18: Pre-Alignment Checklist
4.1 Pre-alignment checklist Validate targeted lane coverage and lane overlap (if any) Make sure you have an appropriate laptop computer with the JAI EN Setup program installed. The setup computer needs to have an Ethernet network adapter installed (preferably 1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter) and the TCP/IP network configured with the correct IP-address, subnet-mask and default-gateway. -

Example of direct connection to the camera Once the setup computer is connected, you can apply power to the Drive5 (24V DC). The I/O Board has 4 LEDs to indicate the status of the heaters, power supply, and microcontroller (I/O Board setup parameters). -

But because of the continuous lighting, the flash will be much less noticeable to the driver’s already partially adjusted eyes.

Vehicle Detector settings The following paragraphs provide short descriptions of the Vehicle Detector parameters: Shadow Suppression Mode – Disable/Enable shadow suppression. Enabling this feature can help reduce false triggers caused by shadows. During certain times of day when a vehicle shadow is sufficiently dark compared to the road surface, it could be mistaken as a vehicle by the Vehicle Detector.
- Page 25 vehicle leaves the detection area. In “Front Shot” mode the vehicles will be travelling towards the camera and the triggers are then generated when vehicles enter the detection area. Detection Grid – It is possible to enable/disable the Vehicle Detection in each of the 9 grids of the detection area.
- Page 26 Drive5 (which are all in 8-bit resolution). So if the ALC Target Value is set to 200 for instance, then the average intensity of the ALC ROI in the output images will be around (200/4)=50. The ALC Target Value should be kept between 150 - 250 in order to insure a proper brightness and contrast of the resulting images from the camera.

Page 27: High Dynamic Range (Hdr) Settings
However, be aware that multi-slope HDR reduces the contrast in the brighter parts of the image and also impacts the Drive5’s ability to properly process the color of the scene. Images will tend to have a pinkish hue in the brightest areas, which will be further exaggerated if white balancing is used. - Page 28 ON, Level 6, Reset 70%/85% ON, Level 6, Reset 80%/90% 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 Light level (fL) ON, Level 6, Reset 70%/85% ON, Level 6, Reset 80%/90% 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 Light level (fL) Figure 27.

Page 29: Time Synchronization Settings
Most ITS systems require that all cameras are time synchronized – both with the back-office as well as with each other. The Drive5 supports time synchronization using the standard Network Time Protocol (NTP) where one or more designated NTP Servers provide the time for the whole system. -
Page 30: Video Streaming
NTP Client 4.10 Video streaming In addition to capturing triggered “still” images of passing vehicles and plates, the Drive5 system offers live streaming. Live streaming outputs a continuous compressed video stream for real-time remote viewing. - Page 31 Figure 29. Video streaming settings Streaming Video Format – Select output format between 720p (1280 pixels wide by 720 lines high) or 1080p (1920 pixels wide by 1080 lines high). You must then “Save to Flash” and reboot the camera before this setting takes effect.
- Page 32 are smaller than the I-frame. Example: value of 10 means the video starts with an I-frame, then 10 P- frames, then another I-frame, and repeats until end of video. Source Width – The camera’s sensor has higher resolution than the Stream Output. Source Width specifies the width in pixels of the ROI area to be taken from the full sensor image.
