DrugCheck 3000, the latest drug testing device from safety technology supplier 8299 Drager, has been developed for the transport and logistics sector and has been designed to test for impairment, as opposed to historical drug use, in up to five banned substances. This ensures a clear focus on making sure workers are fit and safe to work.

The disposable kit employs the testing principle of the company’s Type Approved DrugTest 5000 system, which is used by many police forces and workplaces around the country.

DrugCheck 3000 consists of two easy-to-use components – a swab for obtaining a saliva sample and a test cassette for the analysis. It can test for cocaine, opiates, amphetamine, methamphetamine and cannabis.

The compact saliva-based test yields reliable results and is easy to use and shows within minutes if a person has drugs in his or her system. It doesn’t require mains power and can be used anywhere, making on-the-go testing quick and convenient.

    A study by the US Federal Highway Administration’s Highways for Life has found a small but consistent reductions in mean and 85 percentile speeds on dangerous bends through the use of Tapco’s BlinkerChevron dynamic curve warning and guidance system (DCWGS) instead of static warning signs. The system's detects oncoming vehicles up to 90m (300ft) from the curve and will trigger the flashing LEDs on the signs if the vehicle’s speed exceed a predetermined level to warn the driver of the dangerous curves with e

    Germany-headquartered PTV has announced the new map&guide service pack that significantly improves the calculation of pollutant emissions in road transport. The software now includes altitude data for all European countries so that transport operators have access to precise information on CO2 emissions and other pollutants depending on uphill and downhill gradients. Consequently, the software delivers results that are far more precise and meaningful. Moreover, PTV states that costs (diesel consumption) can

    New safety technologies could play a major role in reducing the numbers killed on European motorways, according to the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC), in a new report published today. The new analysis of developments in motorway safety shows that, despite recent progress, around 1,900 were killed on motorways in the EU in 2013. The report cites figures from several countries showing that up to 60 per cent of those killed in motorway collisions were not wearing a seatbelt. It calls on the EU to req

In coming years, we can expect the application set to grow significantly Moore's Law has seen to it that computer processing power has improved out of all comparison in the 30-plus years since the first working Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system was created by the UK's Police Scientific Development Branch. The attendant increases in systems' capabilities have resulted in ANPR being deployed globally
