Indonesia’s Jakarta city has unveiled an intelligent road-transportation application, the Electronic Registration Identification (ERI) system, which is aimed at upgrading the enforcement of traffic regulations in the city.

According to Irvan Prawira, the traffic police's chief of security and safety, motorists would be required to have an on-board unit (OBU) installed in their vehicle for transmission of vehicle and owner data to electronic readers set up at intervals on the road. Mobile readers will also be installed in police's patrol vehicles for recording traffic violations.  A data centre at the city’s traffic monitoring centre will monitor all vehicles across the city.  Traffic violations will be recorded by the electronic readers, while high-resolution cameras will capture the vehicle licence plates.

On the 24th March 1999, a Belgian truck transporting flour and margarine through the 11.6km Mont Blanc tunnel caught alight when a cigarette stub entered the engine induction snorkel, lighting the paper air filter. The fire left over 30 dead and many more injured. At the time, the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster was the world’s worst tunnel fire.

    Glare from the sun is a factor in a large number of road accidents – many of them fatal. But there is a solution at hand: using polarisation can mitigate the effect of glare and improve ITS camera enforcement, explains Stephane Clauss The effect of glare on driver safety has been well documented. A 2013 UK study by the country’s largest driver organisation, the AA, calculated sun glare was a contributing cause in almost 3,000 road accidents in 2012 alone. This represented one in 33 accidents on Britain’s
