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.

    Cost-benefit analysis invariably finds highly in favour of speed and red light enforcement, particularly so in Edmonton in the Alberta province of Canada, where authorities need no convincing of the merits of road safety engineering. Justification of enforcement efforts on economic grounds has been reinforced this year, by a study of the costs and benefits of red light enforcement.

US states can now realistically calculate the economic benefits of using red light safety cameras, alone or in combination with other measures, to cut road traffic accident levels. The results could be of material value in making the case for the cameras as a number of state legislatures continue to debate their acceptability.
