Accurate average speed detection is possible with the SPECS3 VECTOR units from Vysionics

The SPECS3 VECTOR from 3957 Vysionics has now achieved the UK’s Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) and can be used for the enforcement of average speed offences. The SPECS3 VECTOR is unlike earlier SPECS platforms as it is a fully integrated camera unit with all of the camera, processing and communications modules built into a single housing.

The increased versatility of SPECS3 VECTOR means that it is suitable for all average speed enforcement applications, as well as a range of new duties. Examples include providing a cost-effective alternative to spot speed camera upgrades, as well as addressing non-UK, export markets for point to point enforcement.

To support the new device, Vysionics have introduced a range of fixing options to address a wide range of requirements. The street lighting bracket provides a visible and recognisable mounting point where the SPECS3 VECTOR is to be mounted to existing street furniture. As an alternative, the passively safe tilt down column offers a conspicuous and easy to maintain solution for all road environments, without the requirement for barriers, whilst its compact design suits it to use in urban and town centre applications.

    A national UK survey by the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) has shown that although most drivers support speed cameras, people in London and north-east are less enthusiastic. The survey polled 1,000 drivers of all age groups across Britain and asked “It is now common for the authorities to use speed cameras at the side of the road to identify vehicles involved in speeding offences. How acceptable do you think this is?” The national average is 79% but only 69% of Londoners said it was acceptable, do
