Combined speed and red light enforcement

Traffex 2011 sees the world launch of the Truvelo 'D-Cam L', a dual-capability speed and red light camera. The versatile device may be used as a speed camera alone, or be deployed at a red light intersection where it will monitor red light offences and act as a speed camera on the green and amber phases.

136 Traffex 2011 sees the world launch of the 143 Truvelo 'D-Cam L', a dual-capability speed and red light camera. The versatile device may be used as a speed camera alone, or be deployed at a red light intersection where it will monitor red light offences and act as a speed camera on the green and amber phases. It digitally signs, encrypts and stores two images for a red light offence and one image for a speed offence.

Up to four laser sensors are permanently mounted in the D-Cam L's roadside housing, along with the camera itself.

There is no roadside computer cabinet required as the D-Cam L contains all the necessary image capture and transmission modules onboard. Images are transmitted to the Truvelo Back-Office Server (TBOS) by ADSL or 3G/HSDPA. One TBOS can handle up to 30 cameras.

    Transport for London (TfL) has begun work on a programme to overhaul the capital’s road safety camera network; replacing hundreds of old wet film cameras with modern and more efficient digital safety cameras in order to help further reduce casualties on London’s roads. According to TfL, safety cameras have proved successful in reducing road casualties in recent years. At locations where safety cameras operate in the capital, research shows that the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) fell

    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
