2077 Digital Ally has begun production of its new DVM-250 Digital Event Recorders, and has also won its first order for 65 of the units from one of the largest ambulance service providers in the United States.

The device automatically records and stores video and audio from inside and outside vehicles. Thus, in the case of an abrupt change in acceleration/deceleration, such as during a vehicle accident, sudden stop or other violent manoeuvre, the event is automatically recorded, including one minute prior to the event. Other possible triggers for automatic recording include specific speeds and GPS coordinates, and an optional Interface Box can provide additional possibilities, including shifting the vehicle into reverse, emergency lights, door sensors and more. Users may also start recordings manually, for instance to record the criminal actions of passengers.

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o

    The European Commission has adopted a measure to ensure that by 2015 vehicles can call emergency services in the event of a crash. The Commission wants the life-saving eCall system to be fitted to all new models of cars and light vehicles from 2015. eCall automatically dials Europe's single emergency number 112 in the event of a serious accident and communicates the vehicle's location to the emergency services. According to some estimates, eCall could speed emergency response times by 40per cent in urban ar

    Europe will fail to meet its road death targets as enforcement budgets are slashed and drivers face an epidemic of distractions. The European Union will not achieve its aim of halving the number of people killed on its roads each year by 2020, delegates to Tispol’s (the organisation of European traffic police) annual conference in Manchester were told. “The target will be missed because there was only a 17% decrease in road fatalities across Europe between 2010 and 2015 when [the rate of reduction] should h
