US companies develop Lidar-based speed enforcement

US companies All Traffic Solutions and DragonEye Technology have developed the TraffiCloud enforcement suite, combining All Traffic Solution's TraffiCloud web-based management services with Dragoneye's Lidar devices, which the companies say makes it easier for departments to improve accuracy, save time and reduce court challenges. TraffiCloud-enabled Lidar records the vehicle speed, distance, direction and the time of each capture instantly to the TraffiCloud. Notes and images can also be added to each cap

US companies 6966 All Traffic Solutions and DragonEye Technology have developed the TraffiCloud enforcement suite, combining All Traffic Solution's TraffiCloud web-based management services with Dragoneye's Lidar devices, which the companies say makes it easier for departments to improve accuracy, save time and reduce court challenges.

TraffiCloud-enabled Lidar records the vehicle speed, distance, direction and the time of each capture instantly to the TraffiCloud. Notes and images can also be added to each capture. The system tracks the effectiveness of enforcement efforts with data such as the number of captures, the number of citations written and statistics on the enforcement session.

TraffiCloud provides officers with the ability to log daily accuracy tests and save certification documents, enabling them to access the data needed for court with a click of a mouse.

    Road crashes are not as random as they may appear and analysing data can reveal patterns that can help various authorities target their resources more accurately. David Crawford reports. Figures from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that in 2013 there were 32,719 people killed on American roads and 2.31 million injured. While these form part of an overall 25% drop over the decade from 2004, US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx continues to stress that reaching the procl

    Jason Barnes speaks to leading figures from the automated enforcement sector about whether a truly international standard for automated enforcement systems is necessary or can ever be achieved. Recent reports of further press controversy in the US over automated enforcement (see ‘Focusing on accuracy?’, ITS International raise again the issue of standards and what constitutes ‘good enough’ in terms of system accuracy and overall solution effectiveness. Comparatively, automated enforcement has always expe

    November 20, 2013
    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

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o
