Red-light jumping is one of the most critical traffic violations. The fact that a traffic light is red usually implies that the lights for the crossing traffic are green – and the risk for collision is considerable. Traffic lights are normally positioned at heavily trafficked intersections and where ordinary traffic signs or right-of-way rules are not sufficient to ensure fluid traffic flow. There is therefore a statistically significant chance of driving into another road-user should a red light be neglected.
The unique feature of Sensys’ radar of being able to discern distance is used to detect a vehicle passing the stop bar during the red-light phase.
While a vehicle approaches the stop bar, its speed behaviour is analysed. If it is expected that a vehicle will not (be able to) stop before the stop bar, the system will take a picture of the vehicle just before the stop bar, showing its position, the red light and the license plate.
If the radar detects that a vehicle is indeed passing the stop bar during the red-light phase, the system will take a second picture after the vehicle has fully passed the stop bar. The second picture may be taken either by the same camera from the rear, or by a second camera located across the intersection. The latter option allows for driver identification should such be required by law.
The systems are installed in cabinets, mounted on a pole. The cabinets are made for all weather conditions and can be delivered with heaters and fans or air conditioning. All units in the system are modular and rack-mounted for easy inter-changeability.
This is a selection of the most important properties for the system.
