Italian company 7669 Intertraff is here at ITS America 2016 San Jose to present a radically new mobile speed enforcement camera, the D-cop Mobile, to the US market and also to find a reliable distributor for the product in the US. The device, which combines a compact, tripod-mounted speed camera with multi-lane radar is claimed to be a first.

“Tripod-mounted systems have been popular with police forces around the world for many years but they have either been limited to one lane for enforcement, or multilane versions are extremely bulky with trailing cables and hefty external battery packs,” said Intertraff’s Toni Marzo. “Breaking new ground with a truly compact device which allows for accurate speed monitoring across up to four lanes of traffic, our Intertraff Mobile Speed camera is the lightest on the market when it comes to multiple lane monitoring, weighing in at just 4 kg.”

CNC machined from a solid aluminium alloy and satin anodised in an array of colours to prevent scratching, the design is enhanced by wireless operation. With an internal battery providing 12 hours of operation and extended temperature capability for harsh environments, D-cop mobile makes for an attractive, robust and simple to use device.

Set-up on site takes just a few minutes and the device features an ingenious magnetically attached side door that provides quick and easy access to lens adjustment, should that be required. Transportation from site to site could not be simpler as everything - camera, flash and tripod - fits into one protective case.

    School authorities in the US are turning to automated school bus stop arm enforcement to curb an astonishing number of violations. It is estimated that every year nearly 17,000 American children are sent to emergency rooms as a result of school bus related crashes. And when surveyed, 99% of school bus drivers reported that the most dangerous behaviour they encounter is drivers passing a school bus with its stop sign arm extended. Every day these drivers who violate the extended stop arm signs put at risk

    One of the biggest problems facing US ITS professionals, says Georgia DOT's Hugh Colton, is the constrained thinking which is sometimes forced upon those making procurement decisions. It is time, he says, to look again at how we do things. In the November/December 2010 edition of this journal, Pete Goldin interviewed Joseph Sussman, chairman of the US's ITS Program Advisory Committee. Amongst other observations that Sussman made was that, technologically, ITS in the US is 10 years behind that in the world-l
  • Options abound for road weather sensing

    Meteorological organisations invest millions in super-computers to crunch data for ever-more accurate forecasts but inherent unpredictability means that other methods of alerting drivers and road authorities to fast-changing weather and highway conditions are essential. For years, static weather sensors to measure factors such as surface water, ice or high roadway temperatures have been embedded in highways to provide such data. But that is changing.

    Greater vehicle connectivity is going to have huge implications for traffic management. David Arminas climbed aboard a Lindsay Road Zipper to see what this might mean in future As vice president of barrier specialist QMB Canada, Marc-Andre Seguin is sanguine about the future for moveable barriers. On the one hand, it looks good. The oft-stated advantage of moveable barriers is that the systems are cheaper to install than adding a lane or two to a highway or bridge. Directional changes to lanes can boost
