  • TUN-1828 - Allow queue Queue colour to can now be set to a different value other than amber
  • TUN-1828 - Use Enable Animations to now also determine whether an animation should be played used when a carriageway section goes into queue or alarm
  • TUN-1831 - Add Added tool tip to show radar name in topology
  • TUN-1764 - Add Added area covered property to track sightings so that they can be used in rules

Improvements

  • Greatly increase improved the performance of editing taking a large carriageway in and out of edit mode

Fixes

  • TUN-1860 - For Fixed an issue for carriageway statistics reports running longer where looking at more than 2 hours make sure that a track count of at least 1 so that the mean speed is calculated correctly as there is too much data to fit into the 20 slotsChange ICD001 of data caused no data to be displayed
  • Changed ICD-001 Size Classification Report to use local time
  • Fix Improved the average speed calculation for Traffic Analysis Fix TrafficAnalysis Playbackto provide a more accurate summary
  • Fixed TrafficAnalysis query to ensure the scale is created correctly and the graphs redraw correctly when repeating the same query

Version 4.0.3 Build 239 - 23 January 2018

Tracker 4.0.1.52 Release Notes

Improvements

  • TUN-1638 - Added a dynamic zoom label which will display whilst the main PPI is being zoomed to show the current zoom level

Fixes

  • TUN-1719 - Added a minor delay to the node dragging logic when editing a carriageway to prevent nodes jumping when selected. This behaviour appears to be hardware dependent, however adding a delay has improved reliability across all tested platforms.
  • TUN-1718 - Disabled the Update Contour option when there is no contour area present for the selected radar.
  • TUN-1721 - Fixed the point filter which is available during a carriageway edit so that Virtual Area points are only visible when they are selected or all points are being displayed.
  • TUN-1722 - Fixed a minor issue where the point filter was not resetting properly when coming in and out of edit on the carriageway.
  • TUN-1723 - Fixed an issue which caused the section selection not to function properly during a carriageway edit. Also fixed the properties panel so it does not show the wrong the section number when adding a new one.
  • TUN-1691 - Fixed the message text associated with contour updates.
  • TUN-1692 - Fixed the text associated with creating clutter floor capture schedules. It was inconsistent depending on whether it was a global setting or created from a selected radar. 
  • TUN-1693 - Added the unit for resolution in the playback source configuration settings.
  • Fixed an indexing issue which meant that removing the first node on a carriageway would cause exceptions when carrying out other operations on the same carriageway. 
  • Changed the Auto-Section dialog to use an Apply button instead of a Save button. This dialog does not trigger a save and the process can be rolled back by cancelling the carriageway edit.
  • Fixed an issue which, in specific circumstances, was preventing users adding additional carriageway nodes during an edit.
  • Fixed an issue which was causing an exception when enabling and disabling group entities from their parent folder.
  • Added protection during the start up process to ensure actions against entities are sequenced to avoid conflict as they are loaded.

Version 4.0.3 Build 235 - 23 January 2018

Tracker 4.0.1.52 Release Notes

New features

  • Added a new tracker version reporting and checking feature. On supported radar this will detect and report the current on-board tracker version and compare it against the required version. It will indicate if there is a mismatch.
  • All applications and plugins are now digitally signed using Navtech Radar's approved certificate. In addition, plugins and software modules are checked during start up and will be rejected if not signed correctly. In most cases this will result in the software not starting. This is a safety and security feature to ensure only approved code which has not been changed is used.
Info

An additional root certificate from the time stamping authority has also been added to the software distribution files. This is not installed automatically but maybe required on older systems which have not had access to the internet for a long time.

Improvements

  • The installer will now automatically install the Comodo root certificate. This supports the certificate checking on systems with no internet access.
  • Moved the local tracker port to 65100 to avoid conflict with the Nvidia graphics driver software.
  • TUN-1651 - Increased the default edit lock timeout to 5 minutes and added the option as a configurable parameter to the system settings.
  • TUN-1620, TUN-1656, TUN-1654, TUN-1653, TUN-1652 - Several minor UI improvements including better labels, data validation and updating appropriate units.
  • TUN-1660 - Improved the style on lists to make it easier to read selected items.
  • TUN-1623 - Improved OpenStreetMap panning and resize performance.
  • TUN-1647 - Improved logging when the Management Server is unable find the database on launch.
  • TUN-1639 - Improved the alarm query so updated alarms replace older instances of the same alarm in the results when the search is re-run.

Fixes

  • Fixed issue with verifying digital signatures by including the relevant root certificates with the application.
  • Fixed error where opening online help in the Edge browser from the UI generated a (trapped) error.
  • Fixed error where changing the tracker source type (i.e. playback & network) more than once caused the tracker to stop working.
  • TUN-1650 - Fixed issue where the name and user Id were not being saved in new system profiles

New Features

  • Initial Release of Witness 4.0 ClearWay™
  • Witness 4.0 is a ground-up re-design of the ClearWay™ Automatic Incident Detection solution to provide a fully redundant, scalable system with enhanced detection performance and improved reporting capabilities.
  • The key new features and improvements are:
    • Re-developed to support a highly flexible modular design with built-in licencing so customers can select the features they need and new options and capabilities can be added with ease.
    • Fully distributed and scalable architecture which allows a single installation to support many radar and work over large areas.
    • Incorporates secure, lightweight, real-time communications ensuring the system that can scale to support large sites yet still detect and report incidents without delay.
    • Designed from the outset to support full redundancy across the entire software application. The system is designed to self-heal automatically ensuring minimal downtime.
    • Improved configuration and setup making it quicker and easier to setup and commission sites.
    • Completely revamped traffic analysis offering much improved real-time statistics.
    • Enhanced queue detection with much simpler configuration.
    • New radar to section allocation mode which ensures the traffic statistics are not distorted in areas where radar overlap.
    • New, cleaner and more intuitive user interface designed with ClearWay™ configuration and operation in mind.
    • New user interface features, including real-time traffic information, better logging and much improved track display.
    • New reporting and data analysis capabilities, including the ability to do deep-dives on alarms to explore break counts and directly related track data.
    • New Situational Awareness capability which offers the ability to receive track and radar data via a standard H264 video feed, just like CCTV. This enables operators to treat the radar like a camera and provide visibility of incidents even in difficult conditions where normal cameras are no longer of use.
    • New client application for Situational Awareness that provides operators the ability to view the video feed from one or more radar.
    • Improved classification logic which now includes the ability to analyse and visually edit the classification in real-time.
    • Automated configuration backup facility along with the ability to restore a full system setup via the client application.
