Compas is an ultra-light mobile system for automated speed enforcement

Parifex's Compas is a small mobile speed camera which is revolutionising enforcement of road traffic offences.

Perched on its tripod, the Compas is an ultra-light mobile system for automated speed enforcement. Designed to make interventions easier, its installation requires no inspection. Indeed, its fully automatic calibration system offers a high positioning tolerance, enabling it to be deployed in just a few minutes. 

It is easy to use and is certified for bi-directional control on four lanes from 30 km/h to 250 km/h. Its robust, weatherproof housing can be mounted on a tripod or placed in the boot of a stationary vehicle. As a pioneer in speed control thanks to its 3D Lidar sensor and camera, the Compas guarantees high performance in controlling road offences, such as ticketing of up to five vehicles per second and per lane, automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), vehicle classification, maximum speed per vehicle class and per lane.

The Compas comes with a carrying case that holds all the components, plus a long-life battery.

    David Crawford looks how workzone safety can be ‘economically viable’. Highway maintenance is one of the most dangerous construction industry occupations in Europe. Research from The Netherlands on fatal crashes indicates that the risk facing road workzone operatives is ‘significantly higher’ than that for the general construction workforce. A survey carried out by the Highways Agency, which runs the UK’s motorway and trunk road network, has suggested that 20% of road workers have suffered injuries from pa

  • Hard shoulder running aids uniform traffic flow and safer driving

    David Crawford detects a market for European experience. Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.
