Enhancing public safety through fair and accepted traffic solutions
Section Control Speed Enforcement - Long distance road safety
Section Control Speed Enforcement - Long distance road safety
Section control, also called average speed or point-to-point enforcement, measures a vehicle's average speed between two fixed points. Cameras at the entry and exit capture number plates and passage times. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR/ALPR) matches the records, and the system calculates average speed from the travel time and known section distance. This is compared with the applicable speed limit.
Unlike spot speed enforcement, section control measures average speed over a road section. Camera coverage across the monitored lanes allows vehicles to be matched even if they change lanes. Intrak supports multi-lane coverage and sections as short as 500 metres, with high-resolution images at both entry and exit.
Why section control is used
Section control encourages consistent speeds over longer road sections. It can complement spot speed cameras, which address speeding at specific high-risk locations as school zones, work zones and sharp curves.
Three benefits are particularly relevant:
-
Increased safety
More consistent speeds reduce speed differences between vehicles and encourage smoother, more predictable traffic flow. Reducing sudden braking and rapid acceleration can help lower collision risk on busy roads and motorways.
-
Positive Environmental Impact
A steady driving style can reduce unnecessary braking and acceleration, lowering fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and traffic noise. This is especially relevant where busy roads pass near residential areas.
-
Public Acceptance
Average speed enforcement encourages steady compliance throughout the monitored section. Drivers can maintain a consistent pace, supporting a smoother journey and a more predictable road environment.
Combine portable speed enforcement with our other solutions and services
Since the invention of the speed camera, we have continued to develop more innovative hardware and software. The next logical step in the evolution of traffic enforcement is to provide a modular setup to combine all our solutions. We can integrate all our solutions seamlessly to the extent you prefer. From hardware systems to our violation collection software to the complete automation of the back-office with our Xilium software. But it is also possible to help you with maintenance, project management and financing.
We can also deliver you all of the above as a fully Managed Service which is flexible, easily scalable, software oriented and future proof. We will manage the entire process for you; from procurement and installation of the assets, to registering the violations and issuing the fine notifications. During this, you maintain full control and exclusive access and oversight into the functioning of the total system.
