563 Inex/Zamir (Inex Technologies) has completed in-house trials and integration of the 536 Sick LMS211 laser device. The company specialises in ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) for high-speed toll violation enforcement applications, with several hundreds of lanes awarded in just the past few years alone. As Inex Technologies points out, open-road tolling systems require the ability to capture and accurately read license plates of vehicles travelling at speeds of up to 200 km/h. As a result, the company needed a device that could trigger its ALPR system reliably at those speeds and the Sick offering met that requirement; it is already successfully deployed on high-speed tolling systems in many parts of the world.

    Counting the number of people in a vehicle has always been a manual task, but now Xerox has developed a real-time system to automate the process. Xerox has introduced an automated system that determines the number of passengers in a vehicle, enabling authorities to detect non-qualifying drivers using the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) and High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. Traditionally HOV/HOT enforcement has entailed local police visually confirming each vehicle has the required number of occupants and chasin

    Xerox’s Passenger Detection System has been trialled in California and compared with the state’s team of human counters giving some interesting results, as Colin Sowman discovers. Like others adopting high-occupancy and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for congestion management, Caltrans has faced challenges with compliance in what has been effectively an ‘honour system’ with drivers trusted to set their tags correctly or comply with the multi-passenger requirement.

    Belarus’ national road safety authority Safe Roads of Belarus has awarded Vitronic Nordic East a contract for 60 PoliScan laser-based speed enforcement units. The PoliScan systems use Lidar (light detection and ranging) technology, which works with an invisible infrared laser. According to Vitronic, the readings obtained are more reliable and fairer to drivers than those from conventional radar systems, while the maintenance costs for PoliScan systems are lower than those for conventional loop technolo
