VITRONIC combines red light enforcement with access control for bus lane

Wiesbaden / Tallinn. VITRONIC GmbH from Wiesbaden, Germany and their Estonian partner Alarmtec AS have received an order for an innovative project for the monitoring of red light violations in combination with bus lane enforcement. The city of Tallinn as end customer will be receiving state-of-the art technology. The solution developed by VITRONIC is mounted in an attractive housing called “City Design Pole” which fits nicely into the urban environment.

The PoliScan systems will be deployed at two sites in Tallinn to enforce red light as well as speed limit violations. Besides these classical PoliScan applications, access to the bus lane will also be controlled. As soon as a vehicle runs the red light, high-resolution digital cameras capture the vehicle including driver and licence plate. The first picture is taken when the vehicle crosses the stop line, the second one is taken in the intersection. In Tallinn an additional camera is installed behind the arriving vehicles, across from the traffic lights, to document the traffic light phase at the moment of the violation. Speeding and unauthorized driving in the bus lane are enforced as well – no matter if the lights are red or green.

PoliScan systems operate based on LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and without any in-road loops or sensors. The innovative laser technology allows traffic safety enforcement even if the vehicles change lanes or tailgate.
