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.

    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti

    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

    The UK’s Hampshire Constabulary’s Safer Roads Unit has recently introduced new mobile speed enforcement technology to combat excessive speeds on the county’s roads. The LASERwitness Lite from Truvelo comprises laser speed measurement and digital video technology, combined with built in infra-red illumination for night time operation. The unit is extremely compact and can even be deployed from a police motorcycle if desired. This is beneficial in those locations where there is no suitable parking for a spe

    Historical traffic data provided by TomTom is being used by the local government in Spain’s Basque region to reduce road congestion at less cost. Old habits die hard. Photos from as far back as the 1930s show people counting cars by the roadside in order to provide congestion data to those running road networks. Today, such techniques are still used, albeit augmented by a range of automation technologies such as inductive loops, infra-red sensors and number plate recognition. Even with these advances, howe
