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.

    While initial cost of radar based detection may be higher than that traditional loops, lower maintenance costs more than balance the books. Following successful field tests, the US city of Greenville, North Carolina, has recently agreed a new policy of phasing in Wavetronix traffic sensor technology’s radar-based SmartSensor Matrix system across its signalised traffic intersections. City traffic engineer Rik DiCesare expects the incremental implementation to deliver benefits to both the city’s taxpayers an

    New trials show Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals can be reliably used for measuring travel times and at a lower cost than an ANPR system, but which is the better proposition depends on many factors. Measuring travel times has traditionally relied automatic number plate (or licence plate) recognition (ANPR/ALPR) cameras capturing the progress of vehicles travelling along a pre-defined route. Such systems also have the benefit of being able to count passing traffic and have become a vital tool in dealing with c

    The US automated enforcement market is in rude health as the number of systems and applications continues to grow and broaden. Jason Barnes reports. Blessed and cursed – arguably, in equal measure – with a constitution which stresses the right to self-expression and determination, the US has had a harder journey than most to the more widespread use of automated traffic enforcement systems. In some cases, opposition to the concept has been extreme – including the murder of a roadside civil enforcement offici
