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-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.

• 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.

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-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

Version 4.0.1 Build 165 - 24 November 2017

Tracker 4.0.1.51 Release Notes

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.

  • 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.
