Vitronic presents autonomous speed enforcement

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.”

    A new report from IDTechEx Research notes that autonomous vehicles need no pilot, not even one in reserve. Many truly autonomous vehicles are unmanned mobile robots prowling everywhere from the ocean depths to nuclear power stations, the upper atmosphere and outer space. They create billion dollar businesses such as aircraft and airships aloft for five to ten years on sunshine alone carrying out surveillance or beaming the internet to the 4.5 billion people who lack it.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    January 24, 2012
    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p
