Discover® Release Notes

Explore the complete details of the recent Rekor Discover® product updates, including a comprehensive overview of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes, all organized by version and release date.

Discover v3.15 Release - 10/27/2025

• Added support for pushing lane configuration details, including device-to-customer lane mapping, total lane count, camera location, and full settings history to the device’s speedconfig file for direct use in communications with Drakewell.

• Fixed an issue where the Shoulder and Speed Limit fields were preventing station CSV imports from completing successfully.

• Fixed an issue where reports could not be generated for unmapped stations. For the new calibration flow, the restriction preventing report generation when a station has no mapped devices has been removed, allowing reports to run for the rest of the study.

• Fixed an issue where the lane layout was sometimes not saving correctly when setting up station, preventing the correct configuration from being applied.

• Fixed a device calibration issue where applying a starter config did not fully clear existing lane markers, causing a non-existent lane to remain and lane sides to be reversed despite correct positioning.

• Fixed an issue where video export was unavailable if a camera was still switching to high resolution when first clicked. The export option (scissors) now enables automatically when switching to the Archive video view, regardless of whether the high-res transition completes

Discover v3.11 Release - 6/30/2025

• Added full support for the Ireland 7-bin classification scheme across all CCS report types.

• Vehicle Insite enhancements for customer pilot: introduced vehicle tracking based on entrance/exit direction fields from ALPR PVRs. Group metrics are now calculated using this direction data instead of relying solely on designated entrance/exit cameras. Additional customizations added to support the 'customers pilot tenant include:

  • Enhanced volume reports

  • Customizable landing page

  • Branding with logo

  • Menu label overrides

  • Rekor-managed groups with read-only access for end-users

• Post-calibration adjustments added to Vehicle Insite: volume reports now support post-calibration vehicle count adjustments, with separate read-rate factors for daytime and nighttime per camera. Optionally treat Fridays as part of the weekend in volume calculations.

• Streamlined calibration workflow: released full version of the new calibration workflow, incorporating:

  • Beta tester feedback

  • Device self-check step

  • Improved validation step

• Daily study validation override: admin users can now approve or override failed daily validation reports. Approved reports display an asterisk on the study page, and the approving user and timestamp are logged for auditing.

• Increased lane support during station setup: the 8-lane restriction has been lifted. Station lane details now supports up to 8 lanes per direction.

• Several improvements made to the high-res switching experience for better reliability and usability.

• The time zone offset has been separated into its own column for clarity in downloaded aggregated CSV data.

• For multi-tenant users, switching tenants now correctly re-centers the map, fixing an issue where the previous tenant’s location would remain visible.

• Station lane mappings are now retained on a per-study basis over time. This enhancement is the first phase of a two-step implementation that will ultimately eliminate the need to deactivate and recreate stations when lane maps change. While users must still follow the current process for now, historical lane mapping data is now preserved and lays the groundwork for full support of evolving lane maps in a future release.

• Drakewell lane map simplification: Drakewell lane maps are now derived from either the station or lane distance zone map, eliminating the need for separate lane maps. This feature currently runs in parallel with the existing SFTP workflow; a cut-over will follow once full parity is confirmed.

• Bug fix: fixed an issue where pagination did not function properly in Vehicle Insite reports.

• Bug fix: renaming a video download description now properly updates the filename to reflect the new description.

Discover v3.10 Release - 4/30/2025

• Implemented retention policies customizable at the tenant level for PVRs, reports, and video exports.

• Improved lane setup UI with roadway visualization and support for defining posted speed limits.

• Added support for the E-ZPass 10-bin classification scheme across all CCS report types.

• Applied additional security updates to strengthen system protection.

• Upgraded to the latest Spring Boot version, offering performance improvements, stability fixes, and enhanced Docker Compose support.

Discover v3.9.1 Release - 3/5/2025

(Patch Release)

• Live Volume Charts: Resolved an issue where charts would continuously spin.

• Vehicle Insite Speed Segments: Optimized queries to improve performance and reduce long execution times.

• Vehicle Insite Year over Year Volume Report: Fixed a time zone discrepancy affecting report accuracy.

• Security enhancements:

  • Image upload sanitization: restricts uploads to common image file types and mitigated HTML injection risks per penetration test findings.

  • Improved login failure messaging to prevent information disclosure.

  • Added more rate limiting improvements for login attempts, password resets, and related actions to mitigate brute-force attacks.

  • Role-based access control enforcement: strengthened user role enforcement on tenants and permissions to to mitigate penetration test findings.

Discover v3.9.0 Release - 2/26/2025

• A CCS Pre-Emergency Monitoring feature has been added to track station average speeds and provide alerts when speeds drop below critical or warning thresholds. Users can now view video, traffic volume, and average speed charts for each station on an interactive map, with distinct colors, (red for critical and yellow for warning). Additionally, email alerts can be configured, and recipients do not need a Rekor Discover account to access the page. The email link directs users to a dedicated monitoring screen.

• A CCS Tonnage Report has been introduced, providing an animated visualization of vehicle weights on a map. Users can view vehicle weight distribution over time, either as an aggregate or at the individual station level. The report also includes a Weight Breakdown by FHWA Class, allowing users to view data as an aggregate, by individual stations, or by lanes within a station. Additionally, users can see total vehicle weight by station including weight distribution by lane.

• Added new InSite Volume Reports which provide comprehensive traffic volume analysis with weekly, monthly, and yearly options. Reports can be exported as PDF or CSV. Weekly reports include tabular data for hourly volume counts, either as an aggregate or by site, along with daily traffic volume and average hourly traffic volumes. Monthly reports present tabular data for daily volume and offer historical comparisons between the current month and the same month from the previous two years. They include daily traffic volumes and total monthly vehicular traffic volume by location. The year-over-year report compares monthly vehicular traffic volume per year and includes a monthly total traffic comparison between the selected year and the previous year, allowing for long-term traffic analysis.

• When viewing video in Discover, playback will automatically switch to HD resolution if the device supports it. After the first two minutes, the video will revert to standard low resolution. Users can manually switch back to HD resolution at any time by clicking the HQ button.

• Resolved an issue where exporting a video older than 30 days incorrectly defaulted the export time to today's date instead of the report's date.

• Security enhancement: Implemented rate limiting on API requests to address a critical PEN test finding.

• Performance optimization: Implemented various database query performance improvements.

• The CCS video screen map now matches the look and feel of other maps for a more consistent user experience.

Discover v3.8.0 Release - 11/21/2024

• Integration with data plane. Devices can now be configured to point to the data plane production environment rather than Discover. The data plane will forward both PVR and aggregated data to Discover for devices configured in this way.

• Retention Policy for Video Library Videos: Videos will now be automatically purged according to the tenant's retention policy, which defaults to 90 days. Users will receive an email notification 5 days before their videos are scheduled for deletion.

• Users can now export vehicle volume data aggregated by lane in addition to total vehicle volumes.

• Deactivated stations are now excluded when viewing studies.

• FDOT API Improvements:

  • Deactivated stations are now filtered out of API responses.

  • Dates and times are now correctly formatted in ISO 8601 format.

• Study downloads will no longer skip days due to daylight savings time adjustments. Additionally, colors and formatting have been added to enhance the downloaded spreadsheet.

• Exporting videos from reports will now use the report’s time zone for the export period rather than the browser time zone.

• Device Details Enhancements:

  • Device phone numbers are now displayed in the device details view.

  • Device IP addresses are now sourced directly from device telemetry instead of transcoder client heartbeat messages, ensuring up-to-date information.

• On the Set Up Data Flow page, logic has been implemented to use the last date within the study time range to determine the appropriate device calibration file for portable studies or non-recurring fixed studies with backdated time ranges. The selected calibration file will define the available lane distance zones during setup.

Discover v3.7.0 Release - 10/24/2024

• Partitioned several large database tables related to vehicles into weekly partitions and aggregations into monthly partitions, significantly improving performance by limiting queries and upsert operations to specific partitions. This reduces the need to scan the entire dataset, enhancing query speed and upsert efficiency across over 3 billion rows. The partitioning also increases Discover's PVR ingestion capacity and simplifies data management tasks like archiving and maintenance, which will be further enhanced in a future release with the implementation of data retention policies.

• Updated the data upload process to the MS2 traffic data integrator to support real-time uploads every 15 minutes, augmenting the once-daily upload at 2 AM. Now, data for the last completed 15-minute period is uploaded and viewable in the MS2 real-time console. For example, at 11:30, data for the 11:15–11:29:59 period is uploaded, with uploads occurring at :00, :15, :30, and :45.

• Resolved an issue where the CSV volume totals exported from the Speed and Classification Report included data from all study stations, rather than only those selected for the report.

• Upgraded our database to eliminate the need for an AWS extended support contract, resulting in a cost savings.

• Introduced an automatic recovery feature for devices. If a PVR heartbeat is not received from a device for 30 continuous minutes, Discover will automatically attempt to resolve the issue by restarting the STS container on the device. This restart will occur at most once per day, helping to ensure that data is not held up before being sent to Drakewell.

• Fixed an issue in Device Calibration where users were unable to modify the Average Length of Lane Markers when selecting 'Various Markings.' Attempts to change the value using the arrows or by typing would revert back to the original value in the JSON. Users can now successfully update the Average Length of Lane Markers as intended.

Discover v3.6.0 Release - 9/30/2026

• DVMS dynamic jump to high-quality live video streams: This feature is now implemented and ready to be activated once edge devices are upgraded to the latest software. This feature is controlled by a feature flag on a per-tenant basis. A new button on the video player can be clicked which will kick off the transition to a high-definition live video stream for durations of 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 minutes.

• Enhancements to the bi-directional, single-lane calibration settings improve usability. Lane number markers have been removed to reduce confusion, and a workaround has been implemented for contraflow issues.

• Ingestion of CCS PVRs from edge devices or the data plane now skips inserting unnecessary aggregations into the database, resulting in boost in capacity.

• New analytics have been added to the Analytics Dashboard screen for: video streaming, video library playback, and video exports.

• Added the ability to export Study QC results for a specified period as a CSV file.

Discover v3.5.0 Release - -8/28/2024

• Device Self-check (feature flag enabled): Introduces an automated device self-check feature that identifies and corrects common issues on devices reducing manual intervention. Initiated via an action button on the Devices page.

• Speed Calibration Optimization Mode (feature flag enabled): Users can now initiate Speed Optimization Mode directly from the calibration tool via a button, allowing for automated speed optimization based on user-defined 85ᵀᴴ percentile speed targets for each lane.

• The Device Calibration page now supports bi-directional, single-lane configurations leveraging the device's ability to handle contraflow, greatly simplifying the process for users handling these specific roadway setups.

• A new filter on the Devices page allows users to toggle between viewing all devices or only those that have been assigned a name, preventing unconfigured devices from cluttering the table or map.

• The STS agent’s vehicle processing queue size and last heartbeat time are now displayed in the device details dialog, providing improved diagnostics.

• Users can now set a primary study (feature flag enabled) for forwarding data to FDOT, with future support planned for additional data integrators like Drakewell and MS2.
