By Truvelo (UK) has revealed its new Fatal Five enforcement solution at the NAPFM Fleet Management Show in Telford (July 2-3, 2024). The system aims to enhance road safety surveillance and speed enforcement capabilities for police forces.
The vehicle-mounted technology includes a touch screen network video recorder, front and rear automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras, a 360-degree zoom ANPR, and CCTV systems. These components are integrated into a vehicle and connected to Truvelo’s central browser-based back-office system.
The system can capture multi-channel, time-stamped high-definition video and ANPR footage. It operates continuously, whether the vehicle is stationary or moving, either independently or with the LASERcam 4 laser speedmeter for detecting speeding offences.
“Authorities will soon implement a new system that allows for legal enforcement of traffic regulations while in transit,” says Calvin Hutt, sales and marketing director at Truvelo. “This innovative approach targets a range of violations, including speeding, seatbelt usage, mobile phone use while driving, and the display of illegal license plates.”
The name Fatal Five comes from a global policing initiative to promote road safety, which targets the most common causes of road deaths: speeding, using a mobile phone, not wearing a seatbelt, driving without due care and attention, and impaired (drink or drug) driving.
“The push for this development stems from research indicating a strong link between these infractions and broader criminal behaviour,” says Hutt. “The introduction of the Fatal Five Enforcement System marks a significant step in this direction, enabling dynamic, roving enforcement.”
Police Scotland and Avon & Somerset Police have already bought the solution for van mounting, in conjunction with LASERcam 4, with the first vans set to be delivered in the near future.
The system is currently focused on the UK market, but Truvelo is in discussions with international partners. The back-office Violation Management System (VMS) has already been deployed in North America
