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.

    Jo Versavel, Managing Director of Traficon, talks about near-term trends in video camera systems. Jo Versavel starts by making one thing clear: long-term forecasts as to what the future holds for video-based traffic monitoring are to all intents and purposes meaningless. The state of the art is developing so fast that in reality it's impossible to say where we'll be in 10 years' time, says the Managing Director of Traficon. In his opinion making firm predictions even five years out is too ambitious, whereas

    Jason Barnes considers the social and ethical ramifications of using in-vehicle safety technologies to fulfil enforcement functions. Although policy documents often imply close correlation between enforcement, compliance and safety – in part, as a counter to accusations that enforcement is rather more concerned with revenue generation – there is a noticeable reluctance among policy makers and auto manufacturers to exploit in-vehicle safety systems for enforcement applications. From a technical perspective t

    Xerox is showcasing its Vehicle Passenger Detection System at the ITS America Annual Meeting. The vehicle occupancy detection system – a 2015 Best of ITS Awards Finalist – uses video analytics to identify the number of occupants in a vehicle with 95% accuracy, at speeds ranging from stop and go to 100 mph. Geometric algorithms detect whether a seat is vacant or occupied. If the setting on the HOT lane transponder doesn’t match with the number of occupants, the system will take a snapshot of the vehicle’s
