147 Vitronic is to supply police forces in the Gulf region with 300 fixed PoliScan speed enforcement systems, including service and maintenance.

The order is for the latest generation PoliScan speed LIDAR–based enforcement systems with high-resolution colour cameras.  Delivery of the first fifty systems is scheduled for the end of July.

The PoliScan speed systems monitor all vehicles in the surveillance zone equally, even if they are tailgating, changing lanes, driving in the vicinity of road works, tunnels or on bends. The systems come with automatic evidence data transfer to the violation processing centre.

Vitronic technology does not require any in-road equipment such as induction loops or piezo sensors, allowing considerable savings in installation and maintenance, as well as fewer road closures and traffic congestion.

“This is the third significant major project in our home market in the last six months” said Youssef Al Hansali, CEO of Vitronic in Dubai. He continued: “The carefully cultivated relationship with our customers as well as the outstanding skills of our engineers has led us to the new contract. Our superb product quality and our commitment are very well received by the market.” The recent order signed is a follow-up contract to the earlier successful deployments of PoliScan traffic enforcement systems.

    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions.

    Currently deployed technology is being used to detect motorists ignoring the ‘red-X’ signs that indicate the lane is closed, as Colin Sowman hears. With an increasing network of ‘Smart Motorways’ - all-lane running or the opening of hard shoulders during times of congestion - Highways England (HE) has identified a growing problem with ‘red-X’ compliance. The ‘red-X’ sign signifies a closed lane or lanes and used to provide a safer area for stranded motorists, emergency workers or road maintenance crews and
