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.

    Traffic police in Singapore are planning to implement an average speed enforcement system, to be trialled along the pan-island expressway and Changi coast road. The average speed enforcement system works by recording the time a vehicle takes to travel between two points to calculate its average speed, which the police say means that speeding motorists cannot evade the law even if they slow down before or speed up after the cameras. Speed detectors placed at the start and end points - to be determined in c
