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.

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.”

    The idea of average speed enforcement, or section control, in Germany has long been discussed by German authorities following its recommendation in 2009 by the 47th German Traffic Court Day. Interior Minister Boris Pistorius has announced a section control pilot project which is scheduled to be operational in Lower Saxony in spring 2015. Instead measuring speed in the conventional at a single point, section control measures average speed over a longer stretch of road. This method usually results in l

    ITS World Congress debates perceptions of enforcement
    The technical programme of this year’s ITS World Congress in Vienna includes a special session on the image of enforcement. ITS International examines the scale of the problem and what can be done about it. Debate on the merits and difficulties of enforcing speed limits appears centred on a conflict of principles. Put very simply, local communities, people living close to busy or hazardous roads, want to see traffic speeds calmed. Drivers on those roads, on the whole, want their principle of freedom to be m

During the ITS World Congress in Vienna in October last year, Navtech Radar and Vysion­ics ITS announced a strategic partnership that would combine the expertise of Navtech in millimetre-wave wide-area surveillance technology with Vysionics’ machine vision-based automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and average speed measurement
