147 Vitronic's new PoliScanspeed remote camera is designed to overcome typical speed enforcement situations: one direction of travel is covered whilst speeding drivers travelling in the opposite direction evade enforcement; offending motorcyclists are captured from the front and the license plate remains unidentified.

Vitronic's new system documents violations from the front and the rear so that the number of valid cases increases and speed in both directions is reduced.

The system consists of a high-resolution camera, flash and function box. It can be tripod-mounted or placed on the ground. In the case of a speed violation the system takes a photo and sends a signal via WLAN signal to the remote camera which captures a second image. The remote camera can even be positioned to take profile images of car and truck drivers where previously the A-column or a navigation system prevented clear identification.

Vitronic says the system is certified for unattended use and eliminates the need for costly in-road equipment. It can measure in challenging traffic situations such as in curves, on bends and through roadworks.

Technological advances and legislative changes pose many questions for those involved in road enforcement, ranging from the changing demands of privacy and data protection legislation to the practicalities on multi-speed enforcement. So to get the industry’s views ITS International took soundings on some of these bigger questions. In a world where many vehicles are fitted with GPS linked ‘black box’ telematics system
