LIDAR pioneer 147 Vitronic has a newly designed stand to present its latest developments in both traffic enforcement and tolling solutions. A world first at the ITS World Congress is the Enforcement Trailer, a new housing concept that allows autonomous operation without the need for existing infrastructure or human intervention. Equipped with an independent power supply based on high-performance batteries and an armoured hull protection, the Enforcement Trailer can run uninterrupted for five days.

The housing can be used both for enforcement and tolling applications and is easily towed to any site where deployment of ITS technology is only necessary for a certain time span or has so far been particularly challenging.

A joint development between Vitronic and partner company 4199 Cegelec, the French Ministry of the Interior will have 150 of the Enforcement Trailer systems to protect work zones from speeding vehicles. It can be viewed live at the demonstration area of the show at the Parc des Expositions de Bordeaux.

In addition, the Vitronic booth will also showcase TollChecker and the PoliScan FM1. TollChecker is a flexible tolling platform for getting information on vehicles from the roadside to the back office. The state-of-the-art platform allows customised solutions for high-performance identification of vehicles and the tracking of their journey throughout a tolling network. PoliScan FM1 is a next-generation LIDAR enforcement system that offers authorities maximum flexibility when enforcing against dangerous driving behaviour.

    Simplifying enforcement systems type approval
    Martyn Harriss looks at what we can do to simplify the type approval of enforcement equipment in Europe. I doubt that there are many who can remember the days when policemen hid in the bushes with stopwatches and flags to catch speeding motorists - and I'd suggest that back then there were few who were caught who would have dared question the accuracy of those watches or those who operated them. Probably, fewer still here in Europe could have dreamt that a supranational body such as the European Union (EU)

    Weathering the elements: how weather affects the network
    Weather-related problems can render cost-cutting counter productive, according to CommScope’s Philip Sorrells. When severe weather conditions make headlines every winter, motorists and travellers seem willing to accept the impact on the trains and roads and yet take for granted that the communications networks will continue uninterrupted. They often appear far more upset that the information system does not give them an update on road conditions, train services or bus arrival times than they are about the a
