Gatso’s mobile speed enforcement approved in France

Gatso’s T-Series based Millia in-vehicle speed enforcement solution has been type approved by the French Laboratoire national de métrologie et d’essais (LNE) for use in France. According to Gatso, its Millia solutions reduce speed related crashes by enforcing the speed limit.

1679 Gatso’s T-Series based Millia in-vehicle speed enforcement solution has been type approved by the French Laboratoire national de métrologie et d’essais (LNE) for use in France.

According to Gatso, its Millia solutions reduce speed related crashes by enforcing the speed limit. For in-vehicle use, the system components are integrated into an enforcement vehicle without altering the appearance of the vehicle. Depending on the chosen strategy, the operator can choose to enforce approaching or receding traffic or in both directions from a stationary or moving vehicle.

Gatso says each system is designed and implemented for each customer’s situation and road safety goals. For France, the system is approved to monitor up to four lanes; with a maximum speed of 250 km/h and it will monitor receding vehicles when moving and approaching and receding vehicles when stationary. Gatso’s partner in France, Fareco, will equip 300 vehicles over a period of three years.

Alexander Kleyn van Willigen, product manager at Gatso commented: “The type approval for France is the first type approval for the T-Series solution platform. It is exciting to see an independent organisation like LNE confirm the accuracy and reliability of this revolutionary new traffic enforcement system.”

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based positioning is unique among available positioning technology due to its universal coverage and low equipment cost. By measuring the distances between an unknown position (such as a vehicle), and at least three known positions (GPS satellites), the unknown position can be calculated in three dimensions (latitude, longitude, and

    Is US tolling as fragmented and divided as some would have you believe? And are the technology suppliers so very entrenched? ITS International spoke to the market's leading suppliers. A few years back, the prevalent view was that the North American tolling market was characterised by fragmented, proprietary solutions, each existing in splendid isolation. The reality is that a combination of pragmatism and good old market forces have seen some concerted moves made towards interoperability in many areas.
