CAM-470
A car reaches the crossing just as someone is on it
Six in the evening on level -1. A woman with a bag over her shoulder walks across the crossing painted on the floor, heading for the lifts. A blue car comes down the lane with its headlights on, its front wheels already over the first white stripes. Between them stands a wide pillar that hides the view until the last metre. All around, full bays and a wet floor full of reflections. IRIS sees the person inside the painted area and sees the car entering the same lane.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a vehicle enters the crossing with a person on it
Then
- alert the control desk with the camera, the level and the time
- save the video from ten seconds before the approach
- add the crossing to the count of close approaches at that corner
The instruction that set it up«Alert me when a car enters the crossing while somebody is walking across it.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the car park
In a basement nobody sees anything until it is right on top of them: low ceiling, pillars every few metres, and everyone driving in search of bays, not people. The manager should not find out about a near miss three days later through a claim. With the camera the alert arrives while it is happening, with the video of the crossing, and over time shows which corner collects the near misses. That is what tells you where to put a mirror, where to slow traffic and which crossing to repaint.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS stop the car?
No. IRIS does not act on anything: it does not brake a vehicle, close a barrier or set off a siren on its own. It alerts the control desk while it is happening and saves the video of the crossing. What happens next — switching on a light, sending someone down, changing the signs — is decided by a person at the car park.
Does IRIS know who is driving or who the pedestrian is?
No. IRIS does not identify anyone and does not recognise faces. It works with areas drawn on the image: it sees that there is a person inside the crossing and a vehicle entering it. That is a situation, not an identity. In this car park it does not read number plates either: it follows the car by its image inside the frame and nothing more.
Is it any use on such a dark level?
Yes, and that is exactly where it is needed most. The crossing is painted and the watched area is drawn over it once: from then on IRIS always looks at the same patch of floor, with whatever light there is. Where the light is very poor, a low-light camera is fitted. What IRIS does not do is guess what is happening outside the frame.

The real interface, step by step
This isn’t a video. It’s a slice of the real screen.
A summary of the real interface, played hands-free. You see one case from start to finish; what you do not see are the other screens, and there are many.

Next step
Who is watching a site where there is almost never anybody?
44 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
Why did the line stop?
237 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And the best part
Whoever is on duty already has a job.Watching forty screens does not fit into the shift.
No shift has time to spare. IRIS watches all forty at once and brings only what needs to be seen, with its camera and its time. What happens next is that person’s call.
