Machine vision specialist 2879 Vitronic and its Estonian partner 3977 Alarmtec have won a tender for ten stationary speed enforcement systems from the 2666 Estonian Road Administration, while in Dubai the company has announced it has been honoured by the Dubai Police as the best enforcement supplier of 2011.

The order from Estonia is the Vitronic’s third consecutive order in the country and includes the delivery of ten mobile Lidar-based PoliScanspeed systems as well as ten dual purpose housings. These are robust steel casings for fixed roadside installation. The mobile systems can either operate in the dual purpose housing or they can be used in a vehicle or on a tripod to maximise flexibility and use of the systems.

In a recent ceremony held by Dubai Police to award prizes to partners who significantly contributed to reducing the number of road fatalities in Dubai, Vitronic was the only company from the speed enforcement sector that was honoured.

“I am very happy about this important recognition and I am proud to be able to help increasing road safety in Dubai as a partner,” says Youssef Al Hansali, CEO of Vitronic Machine Vision Middle East.

Ten mobile and 17 fixed PoliScanspeed systems for speed enforcement are currently operating on Dubai’s roads where recent police statistics show that the Vitronic systems generate significantly more offences than other systems. Speeders are reliably caught which has already led to a reported change in driver behaviour since speed enforcement was implemented in Dubai.
