Caught in a trap. How an average system would put the brakes on speeding drivers

When recent research suggests a very high compling with time-over-distance speed enforcement systems, is it time for a rethink on how we manage speed on our roads and highways? This article discusses the testing and action of average speed-check systems. When a vehicle enters a monitored zone, an image of the vehicle is captured by a lane-specific infrared camera for ALPR software to read the license plate, which then links the data to the image. The same information is then captured at the exit point, at which time the system collates the data and calculates whether or not a violation has occurred. Also discussed are the technology, strategy of placement, and the potential of introducing such systems in the USA.
