UK approval for Redflex fixed enforcement systems

Redflex Traffic Systems has received UK Home Office type approval (HOTA) for its suite of fixed red light and speed enforcement systems, comprising REDFLEXred, REDFLEXspeed and REDFLEXred-speed. Although the system accurately captures intersection red light, speed or simultaneous red light and speed offences, Home Office approval has been given for single red light and speed offences only. Speeding through a green light will be seen as a speed offence; crossing a red light will carry the usual red light

112 Redflex Traffic Systems has received UK Home Office type approval (HOTA) for its suite of fixed red light and speed enforcement systems, comprising REDFLEXred, REDFLEXspeed and REDFLEXred-speed.

Although the system accurately captures intersection red light, speed or simultaneous red light and speed offences, Home Office approval has been given for single red light and speed offences only.  Speeding through a green light will be seen as a speed offence; crossing a red light will carry the usual red light violation penalty.  Speeding through a red light will be prosecuted as a red light violation, although police have discretion on whether the speeding element should be prosecuted.

Both REDFLEXred and REDFLEXred-speed are designed for intersection enforcement, with REDFLEXred-speed capable of detecting red light and speeding violations simultaneously.  REDFLEXspeed is a dedicated speed enforcement system ideal for enforcing speed limits on highways and major roads.

The systems are also able to photograph simultaneous offences by the same vehicle and multiple offending vehicles at the same time, with vehicle and lane identification.

Says Ricardo Fiusco, Redflex CEO: “We are delighted that the Redflex range of speed and red light enforcement systems has been awarded UK type approval, one of the most stringent in the world.  The timing for this coincides with our plans for the UK and European markets.”

Data derived from vehicles passing over in-ground sensors can be interpreted for vehicle classification (axle counts and spacing) and positive identification (especially when linked to image capture) applications as well as to derive individual axle and gross vehicle weight (GVW).

Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas
