7513 Videalert’s digital video platform, used for the enforcement of parking, bus lane and moving traffic contraventions, has received 1837 Department for Transport (DfT) Manufacturers Certification as an approved device by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) on behalf of the Welsh Government.
 
Videalert’s Digital Video Platform now enables Welsh councils to capture the full range of moving traffic offences including bus lanes, bus lanes with adjacent parking, banned turns, box junctions, restricted zones, weight restrictions and one way traffic.
 
The Videalert digital video platform runs multiple civil traffic enforcement, traffic management, school safety and police ANPR applications simultaneously whilst delivering high capture rates and low operating costs.  According to Videalert, it provides effective and reliable unattended enforcement in high traffic volume environments by combining ANPR with video analytics. This provides an additional layer of intelligence to track moving objects and accurately capture only those vehicles actually committing an offence, something that cannot be achieved using traditional ANPR-only systems.  
 
David Richmond, CEO of Videalert, said:  “We are pleased to have achieved this accreditation which will significantly speed up the installation process for councils throughout Wales that wish to enforce moving traffic contraventions.  It provides councils with access to the latest digital enforcement system, which is already in widespread use across London and the UK, where it is helping to reduce congestion and improve traffic flows.”

    Transport for London (TfL) and bus operator Go-Ahead London have begun a trial of the capital’s first electric buses on two routes in the city. The 12-metre single deck buses were built by Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto have zero tail pipe emissions, resulting in lower carbon emissions. The trial will help TfL develop plans for greater use of electric buses in central London in the future, supporting the Mayor’s vision of a central London Ultra Low Emission Zone. The trial will be used to establish wh

    PoliScanseco, Vitronic’s latest solution for average speed measurement uses laser based automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and is said to deliver clear identification of vehicles on free flow lanes, together with precise average speed measurement between two or more checkpoints. All number plates are captured and data is flagged with GPS-based time synchronisation information from each of the nominated check points to achieve the most precise average speed measurement. Optional features of the s

    Traficon's Head of Product and Application Management Robin Collaert offers up a discussion of the likely future green requirements of traffic video systems. At the most basic levels, ITS has the potential to significantly reduce the amounts of time which vehicles spend waiting at intersections, and less time spent waiting means less in the way of vehicular emissions. All of that will hardly come as news to most laypeople, let alone transport professionals. However, the reality is that even today too many r
