Two directions Speed enforcement

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.

    Debating the future development of ANPR
    What future is there for automatic number plate recognition? Will it be supplanted by electronic vehicle identification, or will continuing development maintain the technology's relevance? In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi

    Caltrans trials Xerox’s Passenger Detection System
    Xerox’s Passenger Detection System has been trialled in California and compared with the state’s team of human counters giving some interesting results, as Colin Sowman discovers. Like others adopting high-occupancy and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for congestion management, Caltrans has faced challenges with compliance in what has been effectively an ‘honour system’ with drivers trusted to set their tags correctly or comply with the multi-passenger requirement.

    Machine vision takes ITS further than the eye can see
    Vitronic’s John Yalda looks at how machine vision has become an integral part of many ITS deployments and why it complements, rather than replaces, ANPR. New and conventional business concepts like online shopping and mail order business are becoming more established in the cultures of fast-growing economies and increasing the demand for flexibility in the freight transportation and logistics industry. Road transport has become the preferred infrastructure for freight forwarding and several studies predict
