37 PIPS Technology has announced the official launch of the UK Home Office Type Approved SpeedSpike average speed enforcement system. Developed for cost-effective distance-overtime speed enforcement, the system can be deployed as main road speed enforcement on motorways, urban speed enforcement in town and city centres or local short-distance speed enforcement outside schools and colleges. By linking anywhere up to 1,000 cameras in any one system, PIPS says that SpeedSpike can enforce speeds ranging from 20-140mph across an entire road network.

The SpeedSpike system, PIPS's first within the average speed enforcement market, consists of SpikeHD ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras and a server which is able to compute the average speed of every vehicle at every site and compare it with the enforcement speed.

"SpeedSpike is a completely new product to the market and we are confident that it will revolutionise the way local authorities enforce speed limits," says Paul Negus, managing director of PIPS Technology.
