Best practice in enforcement, tolling and ANPR is the topic at 147 Vitronic’s stand here at Intertraffic. “We have assisted authorities around the globe in realising some of the most prestigious and innovative solutions and we are highlighting these projects here in Amsterdam,” says Boris Wagner, Head of International Sales PoliScan at Vitronic.

The machine vision pioneer is showing how its product range is applied around the globe to make roads safer, increase security and manage road usage. Highlights include the French program to increase road safety in work zones and the modernisation of Europe’s largest toll domain.

Vitronic is also building an automated enforcement system in Abu Dhabi that combines average and spot speed enforcement with ANPR applications and provides data for traffic management systems.

The basis for this are the new PoliScan FM1, a compact lidar measuring and documentation unit, and the TollChecker 4 vehicle identification platform.

Together they unlock a range of applications like speed, red light or lane usage monitoring and identification and classification of vehicles. The company is also displaying its software portfolio to deliver complete solutions to get traffic data from the roadside into the operating centres.

“We have created a very flexible portfolio that can be deployed fixed and mobile and thus offers ideal solutions for any type of road,” explains Wagner.

“Whether its enforcement, tolling or security applications, authorities can choose the solution that best fits their requirements.”

The signs are not much to look at: white with a red circle and the all-important word Milieuzone ('Environmental zone'). But these signs mean that Amsterdam's city centre is strictly off-limits to polluting goods traffic. At the moment compliance is monitored by special wardens wh

Machine vision technology’s entry into the ITS/traffic management sector has followed a classic top-down path. This is unsurprising given the extremely demanding performance criteria which are the standard in its market of origin, manufacturing processing. Very high image qualities combined with frame rates often in the hundreds per second range resulted in vision systems with capabi
