"Poliscan Speed" set to Replace Multanova Units
By Martin Thorn 25th Nov 09
PERTH (WA) — It was revealed last night on channel seven news that the WA Police have on order 30 Vitronic "Poliscan Speed" advanced automated speed camera units to replace the existing 27 Multanova speed cameras.
As if this wasn't enough bad news for WA motorists, this government has also ordered 5 dual purpose Red Light Speed Cameras. Soon errant motorists can expect not one, but two fines in the mail. One ticket for the red light infraction and a second ticket for speeding, all from the one machine. (Below setup near the bell tower Perth)
The bitter pill for motorist is that the new system will increasing speed camera revenue from current levels of $40 million dollars per year to a projected $112 million dollars in 2 years time. That is a $72 million dollar increase which is nearly triple the current level.
Advantages:
- It uses Laser LIDAR technology not radar.
- In either a fixed or mobile configuration, the unit can automatically locate the license plates of each vehicle in freely flowing traffic, read them automatically and immediately compare them with a “Vehicle of Interest” data base. International and interstate licence plates are also decoded with the highest of read rates. The system covers a large range of possible traffic scenarios on multiple lanes and at extremely high speeds.
- Automatically, read and process number plates which makes the process less labour intensive.
- Scans multiple lanes in both directions and takes photos of front or behind (not longer a free pass for motorcycles.
- The system allows for both manually supported as well as fully automatic data evaluation.
- Focusing in, zooming and positioning are things of the past. With the automatic contrastcontrol and lightening quick enlarement of both license plate and the drivers face.
- Saves time as calibration at location is not necessary.

New ANPR Big Brother Cameras Being Used in WA
Perth Western Australia
Window registration stickers are no longer sent out in the post when you register your car in some states of Australia. Now special video cameras linked to computer systems can scan car registration numbers and give an immediate police check for unregistered vehicles, unlicensed drivers and fines defaulters.
The advent of automated speed camera systems and fines processing has meant an explosion in unlicensed drivers due to low speed tolerance set by the police in some states. To catch this large number of fines defaulters continuing to drive whilst disqualified, police are turning to more technology that can check a large number of vehicles in real time in free flowing traffic.
Drivers in Western Australia are about to get a big shock if they think they can drive whilst disqualified and get away with it. At the present this technology is being used by the Western Australian Mains Roads along Leach Highway to automatically keep track of trucks along Leach Highway. These cameras look a lot like speed cameras, but are pointed at the rear of vehicles as they pass.
