A police force in the UK has given Truvelo a contract for its hand-held Lasercam 4 and VMS mobile enforcement solution. 

Staffordshire Police will use the Lasercam 4, a Home Office type-approved video Lidar speed meter which can capture high-quality video evidence of speeding offences as well as other moving traffic violations. 

VMS is a browser-based solution which can process all types of enforceable driving and parking offences — both criminal and civil.

Among the key benefits are the lack of need to remove media from the device, plus the introduction of an end-to-end audit trail.

Truvelo's technical sales manager Steve Townsend says: "We look forward to working with them to deliver a successful implementation and provide ongoing support."

The contract was awarded through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Traffic Technology and Associated Services (TTAS) procurement framework.

Although policy documents often imply close correlation between enforcement, compliance and safety – in part, as a counter to accusations that enforcement is rather more concerned with revenue generation – there is a noticeable reluctance among policy makers and auto manufacturers to exploit in-vehicle safety systems for enforcement applications.

    Single-camera bi-directional speed enforcement can reduce the cost of enforcing speeding on two-way roads without repositioning the camera.

It is also in the process of carrying out the first installations of the D-Cam P in the UK.
