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.

Following a series of hands-free driving tests in tunnels, an Australian road authority believes that car manufacturers have to up their game before vehicles have the required levels of competence to consistently perform ‘assisted driving’ tasks. The trials, in the state of Victoria late last year, tested the ability of several vehicles to stay
