CCTV CAR CHECKING ADVANCES

With the demise of automatic car identification, interest has increased in closed circuit television for car checking. For a relatively low investment, a CCTV system using reliable equipment and standard fixtures will yield better than 90 percent accuracy at speeds of up to 60 mph. Early problems of extremely high light levels and blurring of numbers of passing cars have been overcome. Roads experimenting with the new generation equipment include Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, Santa Fe and Chessie System.
