Speed cameras get smart

The days of slowing down for the speed camera are on the way out. The Specs3 system uses a network of interconnected cameras infra red enabled for night vision that use ANPR technology to read number plates of vehicles passing them. The cameras are know distances apart - anything up to 10s of miles. This quote is from the manufacturer's web site . . .

"SPECS can be used on virtually any public road, from a 20mph urban street to a high speed, multi-lane motorway. Cameras can be configured for a variety of links, covering hundreds of metres or tens of kilometres, with the capability to monitor vehicles entering and leaving the speed control zone in different lanes. The development of SPECS3 networked cameras will allow large areas to be controlled, using remote camera outstations. SPECS3 has been designed for urban networks and multi-lane carriageways, bringing the benefits of SPECS to an even greater range of applications."

The manufacturers have a web site at http://www.speedcheck.co.uk/current_installations.htm that lists where the current installations are as well as proposed / under installation sites. There are also some impressive figures on the reductions in collisions, injuries and deaths.
