Traffic Management

Digital Access Control

Many residential neighbourhoods are used as short-cuts. Unwanted through traffic creates noise and pollution and can cause nasty accidents. Gatsometer offers the solution for this problem: the Digital Access Control. Loop detectors in a one-way street monitor the direction of all passing vehicles. When an offence is committed, a digital camera identifies the license plate. For access restriction, digital control has a major advantage: local residents and services can be given exemption via a ‘white list’ that can hold an unlimited number of license plates.

 

Monitoring dedicated lanes

Pressure on the road forces traffic managers and local authorities to set priorities. By introducing dedicated lanes for busses, taxis or trucks for example, or by banning heavy goods traffic from specific lanes. Restrictions can be permanent or flexible, as with rush hour lanes that offer extra capacity for a few hours a day. Trucks can be recognised by their length. Taxis and busses can be exempted via digital license plate recognition. The Gatso Traffic Camera can control up to three lanes per direction, the Gatso Multi-Camera System up to four.

Ramp metering

Road managers can combat tail-backs by metering traffic joining a highway. A traffic camera enforces the necessary discipline. Loop detectors register when more than one vehicle passes the green light.

 

Railway crossings

Reckless driving on railway crossings regularly causes accidents. Accidents that often result in multiple victims and lead to serious delays on the railway. A traffic camera has a deterrent effect and can also identify any vehicle responsible for damage.

 

Tunnels and bridges

Ignoring height restrictions results in a great deal of damage to tunnels and bridges. By linking a traffic camera to a height sensor, road managers can establish responsibility.

Gatso Safety System

The Gatso Safety System is the alarm system for fixed installation equipment. Gatsometer offers this unique alarm system to protect traffic enforcement equipment in unguarded posts. It is possible to receive an emergency-message on a cellular phone or on a computer with specific software. A list is displayed with the time and date and the nature of the emergency-situation.

Modular technology

Gatsometer products are built up from standard modules: analogue and digital cameras, loop detectors, central processing units, flash units, memory cards and viewers. In the right combination and with the right options installed, a system can be assembled for virtually every application. The standard components make this a quick and reliable process.
