-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cohu Inc. Electronics Division, - Poway Ca.

Selection was based on stringent technical performance specifications and requirements in a competitive bidding process. These cameras are owned by 15 separate agencies located within the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.

The Caltrans District 4 TMC is a regional operations center that boasts one of the most technologically advanced centers in the nation.
MTC, in partnership with Caltrans, had initiated the Bay Area Video Upgrade (BAVU) project to replace 450 antiquated camera sites and upgrade the video surveillance system.
The upgrade will also facilitate the capturing, digitizing and distributing video coverage on the 1,400 miles of State Highway, spanning nine counties. The plan will allow Caltrans as well as local agencies to view the camera video feeds.
Completion of this project will enhance the region’s ability to increasing the efficiency of response to the large volume of well over 2,400 routine roadway incidents per day as well as monitor and detect any security threats to the region's highway system.
The project has been in the planning and testing phases for over 4 years. Republic ITS will complete installation and integration of the 450 cameras by May of 2010.
