Traffic police cars could get smarter – resulting in more prosecutions – thanks to a product being exhibited at Intertraffic for the first time.

Israel’s 8325 RoadMetric is showing off Enforcement Deputy at Intertraffic 2016, a product it claims can change the “entire economics” of traffic enforcement.

Enforcement Deputy is an in-car video system for police patrols, combining continuous HD recording in four directions, automated licence plate reading ALPR capability and streaming video.

Claiming the system as a “game-changer”, RoadMetric says that Enforcement Deputy allows one police patrol to catch as many as ten violations per hour rather than the average 1.2 violations using current methods.

RoadMetric is also showing off its fully-automated bus-lane enforcement system. The system is based on cameras installed on buses that automatically detect vehicles interfering with the free-flow of bus traffic. The system automatically identifies licence plates and ignores vehicles allowed in the bus lane. It enables comprehensive policing of the entire bus lane with no need for investment in new infrastructure and it requires no involvement from the bus driver.

    Europe’s leading traffic police chiefs are struggling with the challenge of how best to manage the region’s road network in an era of austerity. Things are changing fast, and not for the better, reports Geoff Hadwick. Europe’s road safety record is under threat. Police budgets are being slashed, staff numbers are falling and a long-term trend towards ever-fewer road deaths has ground to a halt. The line on the graph has flat-lined.

    'Keep it simple, stupid' is an oft-forgotten axiom but in terms of road user charging it is entirely appropriate. So says the ANWB's Ferry Smith. A couple of decades ago, it might have been largely true that the technology aspects of advanced road infrastructure were the main obstacles to deployment. However, 20 years or more of development have led to a situation where such 'obstacles' are often no more than a political fig-leaf. Area-wide Road User Charging (RUC) is a case in point; speak candidly to syst
