German company 2879 Vitronic and VITRONIC Baltica together with the Latvian company 5474 SIA Komerccentrs DATI Grupa have won a tender for 130 speed enforcement systems in Latvia.

Of this, 100 systems will be operating alternately in 160 stationary housings and 30 will be used for mobile speed enforcement. With the installation of PoliScanspeed systems for speed enforcement in Latvia, VITRONIC will now be present in all Baltic states.

“PoliScanspeed is the first laser-based speed enforcement system to be used in Latvia. No in-road equipment is necessary,” said Norbert Stein, general manager and sole shareholder of VITRONIC.

Edmunds Zivti'š, head of Prevention Department at Latvian State Police, said: “It is our goal to reduce the currently high numbers of road accidents caused by speeding. PoliScanspeed will be of great help reaching this goal”.
