Setting up the SVS-1 using SVS Setup and Monitor Version 3 (PC Required) After clicking the SVS/Get Image for Zone Setup menu item to open the Zone Setup window, the following steps outline the setup procedure: 1) The Main Setup display has several options. For initial SVS-1 setup, first click the Draw LZs button to proceed to the Draw Line Zones display to draw each detection line zone (create multiple line zones for each lane) and then assign or group line zones to an intersection phase.
Main Setup Display When setting up an SVS-1 camera channel for detection, the user should proceed by first Drawing Line Zones, then Setting LZ Parameters, then Setting Detector Output, and finally Setting the descriptive text for the Output Video Display. Click Draw Line Zones button.
Draw Line Zones Set Line Zone Position, Size and Phase Group: 2 1 3 4 6 Phase assignment Codes: 1) Click the LZ= button to select the line zone to draw. If the previous line zone has been assigned a phase, clicking the Use Previous Values button will assign that phase to the currently selected line zone. 2) Draw the Line Zone position by left clicking (hold down left button) at the down road end of the Line Zone and drawing the Line Zone to the up road end (at this end, release the left button).
Draw Line Zones SVS-1 detection is directional, hence, be sure the direction arrow on each line zone is pointed in the correct direction of travel. The selected line zone is shown in green, all others are shown in red (show in output video) or gray (not show in output video). Phase 6R Phase 6T Phase 1L After drawing all line zones and grouping by phase, click the Main Setup button to return to the Main Setup Display.
Setting Detection Zone Parameters The sensitivity parameters for each Line Zone and it’s associated Circle Zone are displayed to the right of the camera image. For most installations, default parameter values provide excellent performance.
Setting Light Reference and Visibility Parameters Each Light Reference parameter and/or each Visibility parameter may need to be adjusted after observing the Image Histogram to determine the position of the dominant peak during daylight periods. Each parameter may be changed by clicking in the upper/lower part of the parameter value field to increment/decrement the value. 1) Select the Light Reference by clicking the LZ = button below the camera image until L Ref appears.

The value for this parameter must be greater than the amount of time vehicles sit stationary at a red traffic light. The default value for this parameter is 1 minute.
SVS-1 – Setting Detection Zone Sensitivity Parameters (continued) Circle Zone Radius– Specifies the size of the Circle Detection Zone. The circle zone is located at the up road end of the corresponding Line Detection Zone and is used as part of the directional detection criterion. The Circle Zone size is dependent on the specific image of the intersection stop line area. The Circle Zone radius should be chosen so that it’s diameter is approximately 1/5 the width of the lane it resides in.
