SPECS software for averaging speed camera questioned by consultant

April 30th, 2009 by technicalconsultant

Software ConsultantThe software consultant authority on speed cameras at tactips.com has taken a look at SPECS averaging speed cameras that are now being installed at places such as the QE2 Bridge. In the view of our software consultant, there is a gradual proliferation of these new devices which have been insidiously introduced on major dual carriageways and motorways.

Although the niche software solutions that drive these cameras is good at capturing vehicle numbers as they pass, there is a concern about its operation in this niche market, consulting specialists opine.

As these devices are set up to monitor a single lane, and the tactips.com software consultant can see the simplicity of a system that measures the time between two geographical locations, the question that sits in the mind of our information technology consultant team is how effective it is at detecting lane changers.

It could be a tricky business, technology consulting spokesman Rob reported today, especially at crowded places with large masses of cars passing by. The prospect of escape might seem small; business consulting experts at tactips.com disagree. It seems unlikely that lane coordinating software is up to cross carriageway correlation, and even if it was, has it been legally certified?

    What makes this consultant think they are set up to monitor a single lane. The distance between any two cameras can be measured easily. As they all report back to a single server this suggests it can be set up to record the speeds of vehicles whichever two cameras are passed, exactly as the manufacturers of these cameras state!

    Hi,

    Home office approval only allows them to prosecute if you stay in one lane.
