Lidar enforcement specialist Parifex has signed a new distribution agreement covering the Middle East.

Get Group Holdings will be the authorised distributor in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Get Group will promote the French manufacturer's products such as Nano-Cam and Double-Side Vigie.

Parifex says Nano-Cam, a 3D Lidar-based sensing solution can be easily integrated into smart car parks, smart cities and autonomous vehicle projects, while Vigie is designed for monitoring highway violations.

Yousri Rizk of Get Group says the collaboration "will bring immense value to our stakeholders and ensure road safety and enable law enforcement authorities to easily guarantee safer and smarter cities".

Parifex CEO Paul-Henri Renard said that Get is "a leading provider of local solutions for safe and smart cities in the Middle East".

"Our technology has proven itself in markets with very high standards," he adds. "We are convinced that together we can improve driver behaviour and make roads safer."

As part of the agreement, Get Group displayed Parifex products at the World Police Summit 2023 in Dubai.

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    Ford recently conducted tests at its Arizona proving ground to determine how autonomous cars could navigate at night without headlights. According to Ford, it’s an important development, in that it shows that even without cameras, which rely on light, Ford’s LiDAR, working with the car’s virtual driver software, is robust enough to steer around winding roads. While it’s ideal to have all three modes of sensors, radar, cameras and LiDAR, the latter can function independently on roads without stoplights.

    Dubai Traffic Police is upgrading its enforcement on the arterial roads of the emirate, including the six-lane Sheikh Zayed Road. Over fifty new Vitronic PoliScan LIDAR systems will replace the existing radar-based speed cameras, enhancing the enforcement capabilities of the authorities. In addition to simultaneous speed enforcement of multiple vehicles across all lanes, the police can now automatically document vehicles that are tailgating or driving on the shoulder – two major causes of serious acciden
