Testing carried out on D-cop, 7669 Intertraff’s radar based speed enforcement camera with the aim with the objective of accurately verifying how D-cop measures the speed of vehicles showed an average error 0.0001 per cent at speeds up to 242.47 km/h.

A 1656 Porsche S was used for the test at the Porsche Engineering speed track in Apulia, Italy by TÜV Italy, part of the TÜV SÜD group, an independent certification and testing body providing certification services for quality, energy, environment, safety and products.

Tests were carried out in accordance with the procedures defined by the Italian Ministry of Transportation which allows a deviation of a maximum of three per cent for each single measurement. However, the average of all the calculated ratios cannot exceed one per cent.

D-cop is a digital camera which uses radar to simultaneously monitor multiple vehicles over up to four lanes of traffic and determine the speed, position and lane of multiple vehicles. The system detects, tracks and classified all types of moving or stopped vehicle.

    Applications in the field of enforcement are a mix of road safety technology, law and social impacts. Best practice is not necessarily defined by geographical area, but rather to the way the aforementioned factors are balanced by authorities. Enforcement practice can be described as ‘best’ where a system or operation is valuably applied in terms of road safety improvement while gaining overall public acceptance. In Italy, a land of frequent legal disputes around traffic enforcement, a number of discrete exa

    It was four years ago that Volvo introduced its City Safety collision avoidance system which is designed to reduce the number and severity of low-speed accidents to the US market. However, a study in America by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) has shown that the results may not be as good as initially indicated by an earlier report. According to Volvo, statistics show that 75% of reported collisions occur at speeds of up to 30km/h (18.6mph) typically in urban traffic and in slow-moving traffic queues
