UK-headquartered 1967 Traffic Safety Systems (TSS), part of AD Group, has delivered a multi-million dollar in-vehicle CCTV order to the Romanian Police for 449 of its state-of-the-art Radar Autovision systems. The deal is the largest single order ever fulfilled by the company for its advanced roads policing equipment.

TSS acted as the lead equipment supplier in a consortium that was created specifically to tender for the Romanian work. 1969 UTI, a Romanian based company and leader of the local security market, was the main partner in this project and the party responsible for the installation and maintenance of the TSS supplied systems, as well as for training the Romanian Police in their use.

The CCTV-based Radar Autovision systems were all fitted by the UTI team into locally manufactured 1973 Dacia and Logan (1972 Renault Romania) Police vehicles. They are to be used primarily by the Romanian Police for roads traffic policing to reduce accidents and make the roads safer. These systems will help the police to successfully prosecute those engaging in poor driver behaviour such as speeding and dangerous driving.

Radar Autovision is a compact, vehicle mounted, digital CCTV video system which supports simultaneous recording and playback and features a 30 second pre-record facility to ensure that critical events are not missed. It combines accurate speed measurement (by radar) with the recording of digital CCTV evidence of a target vehicle, through a powerful forward facing colour/infrared camera with 18x optical zoom and ruggedised digital video recorder, and can be used to equal effect in both static and mobile mode.

Significantly, Radar Autovision provides the facility to measure speeds from multiple lanes, of vehicles travelling both towards and away from the police vehicle and is a cost effective and efficient alternative to traditional mobile speed cameras.
