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.

    A new generation of video compression can lower transmission costs of data and make streaming from mobile and body-worn cameras a reality, as Colin Sowman discovers. Bandwidth limitations have long been the bottleneck restricting the expanded use of video streaming for ITS, monitoring and surveillance purposes. Recent years have seen this countered to some degree by the introduction of ‘edge processing’ whereby ANPR, incident detection and other image processing is moved into (or close to) the camera, so
