These release notes cover Clearway V4.0 and above.
Fixed issue with date time recording on sightings with radars sending bad NTP times
TUN-2172 - Fixed Scheduled backups do not appear to work
TUN-2155 - Add ability to limit number of sightings recorded for a very long living track so that we continue to record but never exceed an agreed limit.
There is hard recording limit of 2050 sightings for each track. For standard tracks this is adequate and should only be exceeded by stationary tracks which are held for long periods. For tracks being held on the debris channel an additional movement filter is used, so if tracks do not move between sightings then the most recent sighting will not be recorded. This logic only applies after the first 100 sightings have been stored. The last sighting is always recorded to ensure we have an accurate start and end time for the track. |
Fixed track holding not working correctly. Changing the holding multiplier will now correctly configure the holding process.
Fixed Camera Controller service installing when not required.
To stop warnings related to the camera controller ensure the system has had all machines upgraded to this version and then remove the Camera Controllers from the database: In RoboMongo use the following to filter out all of the camera controllers and then delete the documents: db.getCollection('Entities').find({_t:/CameraController/}) Then restart the Management Server to ensure that the Camera Controllers are purged from the health system |
Updated ICD-006 to populate large vehicle and vehicle stats data even when not using Traffic Analysis (as required in Bomlafjord)
Fixed ICD-006 based on the use of relevant track count and also default section stats using the classification registers
Fixed playback date and time controls to use local time for display
Improvements
TUN-1979 - Playback, allow end time to be start time, if the date portion allows it
The ICD-006 (Modbus) specification document has been updated to reflect that change to normal section count data. All counts, regardless of whether being provided by the Traffic Analysis plugin or the normal traffic statistics are sub-divided into Vehicle and Large Vehicle counts. Note that due to the way in which normal section stats work, large vehicles are counted as Large Vehicle but the Vehicle classification includes all other vehicles, debris and unclassified tracks. |
Fixed login timeout check not stopping in Situational Awareness UI causing video to stop playing
Fixed drop behaviour of radars in Situational Awareness UI
Fixed handling of connections to onboard/remote trackers
Use improved Highways Splash Screen
Added handling of bad network messages from tracker crashing Track Engine
Added better handling of errors sending configuration to trackers
Add support for rebooting the EPU/Onboard EPU from UI
Fixed error when changing between Channel 1/2 and Debris channel processed data not taking effect unless switching from Raw/Clutter Maps
When updating from a previous version of Clearway, the ICD001 plugin has been renamed to ICD001Highways. The updater will remove the ICD001 plugin, but not install the new one. After an update, please remember to re-run the installer again and upgrade to include the new version of the ICD001Highways integration plugin. |

TUN-1775 - Improved connection handling of Remote/On Board Trackers
TUN-1819 - Made the OPC CSV output an optional setting with no output by default. This will help overcome issues where applications viewing the CSV file (i.e. Excel) will lock the file and prevent the OPC plugin from starting
TUN-1855 - Improved the logic for handling client port allocation for radar data
TUN-1860 - Fixed an issue for carriageway statistics reports where looking at more than 2 hours of data caused no data to be displayed
Changed ICD-001 Size Classification Report to use local time
Improved the average speed calculation for Traffic Analysis to 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
Traffic Analysis statistics now use an improved average calculation so should provide more accurate speed calculations for each configured classification. Expect different results from previous versions. |
Fix error when having removed a carriagway node and then cancelling the edit caused and exception
Fix ATI and Lost reports not showing data reliably
Added ability to change the classification key in SA to be language dependent
Added the ability to hide or show the radar name and date/time in the SA On Screen Display (OSD)

Fixed incorrect handling of Partial tracking areas
Fixed incorrect handling of Exclusion tracking areas
Fixed issue where areas would incorrectly update during edit
Partial areas on the tracker will have to be removed and re-added to ensure they work correctly |
When entering X/Y values more than 100km from the origin, the UI can become unresponsive. Although this is unlikely to affect any installations, this should be resolved in a future release. |

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

Tracker 4.0.1.51 Release Notes
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.
New Carriageway Empty reporting facility which will reliably report when a carriageway or tunnel bore is empty of all traffic. This can greatly improve the efficiency of traffic control, especially when implementing contra-flow or closing a tunnel bore.
New online documentation system which is linked directly to the software so users can easily find the relevant help.
