561 Traffic Technology has  upgraded its SpeedWatch system, a compact radar device developed for use by Community SpeedWatch teams, following user feedback.

The tripod-mounted device provides a non-confrontational way to measure traffic speeds and lends itself to being used as part of school speed awareness programmes and speed survey work.

A live statistics page has now been added to provide a snapshot of activities on site, giving an overview of site speed safety and the effectiveness of SpeedWatch activity. During each session, users can now see the number motorists that would have been issued with a violator ticket (above police tolerance), the fastest speed detected and the average speed. It also provides graphical status indications (red/amber/green) of targets detected and roadside representation of speeds against posted speed limits and police tolerance. Speed information is wirelessly transmitted to a Wi-Fi enabled tablet (supplied) or smartphone and displayed on-screen with the green/amber/red band indicating the vehicle’s speed in relation to national police guidelines.

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    The technical programme of this year’s ITS World Congress in Vienna includes a special session on the image of enforcement. ITS International examines the scale of the problem and what can be done about it. Debate on the merits and difficulties of enforcing speed limits appears centred on a conflict of principles. Put very simply, local communities, people living close to busy or hazardous roads, want to see traffic speeds calmed. Drivers on those roads, on the whole, want their principle of freedom to be m
