Enforcement systems provider 147 Vitronic has won two significant fixed and mobile enforcement contracts in Dubai and Iraqi Kurdistan.

Dubai Police has recently awarded the company a fur­ther contract for fixed traffic enforcement systems, including PoliScan speed enforcement, combined red light and speed enforcement systems, and vio­lation processing software.

The stationary PoliScan speed systems monitor all ve­hicles in the surveillance zone equally, regardless of their posi­tion on the road. The systems in Dubai have been equipped with automatic evidence data transfer to the violation pro­cessing centre using 3G.

The combined speed and red light enforcement devices are equipped with two eight megapixel high-resolution col-our cameras and a light detec­tion and ranging laser (LIDAR) detection unit.

During the red light enforcement phase, a video camera captures two rear images and a video sequence of the incident in addition to two frontal images produced by the laser system.

The Kurdish Ministry of the Interior, meanwhile, which is endeavouring to reduce the in­creasing number of road traffic accidents and fatalities on the region’s roads, is to deploy 300 mobile PoliScan speed enforce­ment systems.

The fully automatic mobile systems use LIDAR to detect speeding vehicles over sev­eral lanes. They are suitable for unattended use and can be mounted on tripods, in the front or rear of vehicles, or in stationary housings.

    Drivers in Abu Dhabi will shortly have to change their driving habits and refrain from slowing down as they approach a speed camera and speeding up once they have passed it. By the end of the year Abu Dhabi’s main roads will have average speed camera systems, or point to point systems, that calculate the average speed of a vehicle between two fixed points. “Everyone travelling here in Abu Dhabi has to make sure to drive within the speed limit,” Dr Atef Garib, a roads and traffic expert at Abu Dhabi Po
