147 Vitronic will use the 2015 ITS World Congress to present its new Enforcement Trailer, a joint development with French partner Cegelec, that combines the traffic calming effect of fixed speed enforcement with the flexibility of a mobile solution.

The Enforcement Trailer is equipped with Vitronic’s PoliScan Lidar measurement technology for unattended speed enforcement across multiple lanes and has a built-in power supply based on high performance batteries. It can operate independently for up to five days and be deployed at sites where automated enforcement at work zones or remote rural roads has been particularly challenging.

Once positioned at the chosen location, the trailer is completely lowered onto the ground. A bullet-proof steel hull provides full protection from vandalism during operation. Case data can be transferred wirelessly to the back office so there is no need to open the trailer during deployment, further enhancing the system integrity.

The French Government has already ordered 150 Enforcement Trailer units to reduce the number of serious accidents in work zones on national roads.

“With the new Enforcement Trailer we offer a fully autonomous speed enforcement system that can be deployed almost anywhere”, says Boris Wagner, Head of International Sales at Vitronic. “It gives authorities unprecedented flexibility with a low total cost of operation since no human supervision is needed.”

Variable Message Signs (VMSs) are a common sight and a well-proven means to improve public safety on our roads and highways. ITS professionals rank the VMS as second only to interoperable radios as the most important technology to improve effectiveness during emergency incidents and evacuations. Ironically, however, current systems suffer from one criti

    For some, machine vision is the coming technology. For others, it’s already here. Although it remains a relative newcomer to the ITS sector, its effects look set to be profound and far-reaching. Encapsulating in just a few short words the distinguishing features of complex technologies and their operating concepts can sometimes be difficult. Often, it is the most subtle of nuances which are both the most important and yet also the most easily lost. Happily, in the case of machine vision this isn’t the case:
