Integrated global fire detection alliance
Image Sensing Systems (ISS) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Det-Tronics (Detector Electronics Corporation), an international supplier of fire and gas detection solutions, to develop an integrated vehicular traffic and fire detection system to add to its Autoscope product family. Announcement of the agreement between ISS and Det-Tronics coincides with the initial demonstration of the new video-based flame detection system at the 2001 NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) World Fire Safety Congress and Exhibition, held at the Anaheim (CA) Convention Center from 13-17 May 2001. Bill Russell, ISS Chairman and CEO said, 'The strategic alliance with Det-Tronics permits us to offer Autoscope's proven video vehicle detection system with a highly desired flame detection capability for automatic incident detection and surveillance in roadway and railway tunnels, where we can now provide fully automated remote video detection and visual verification of tunnel fires very early in the life of the fire, permitting early notification of a potentially life-threatening event
