Speedcurb
Measures the speed of vehicles in
the monitored section of road using
pressure sensors in the road
surface. If the speed limit has been
exceeded, it takes a photograph of
the rear of the vehicle. Uses a flash
module for night-time operation.
ROAD ANGEL Vantage relies on
up-to-date database information for
detection.
Truvelo
A mainly forward-facing camera
taking pictures using an infrared
flash gun. A speeding driver will not
see the flash although it will result
in a clear picture of the vehicle and
its occupants. The system
measures a passing vehicle’s
speed by timing its transit across
two strips on the road.
Traffiphot
Uses pressure sensors in the road
(similar to Speedmaster – see
below) to measure vehicle speed
and photographs the rear of any
speeding vehicle. Not to be
confused with red-light cameras.
ROAD ANGEL Vantage relies on
up-to-date database information for
detection.

DS2
Also known as SpeedMaster,
Autovision or Autovision 2. This is a
semi-permanent (fixed location but
only used part-time), system that
uses sensors, often visible as three
strips, 1m apart, to measure vehicle
speed. Connects to a camera for
evidence of any offence. May
operate independently or be
attended by a camera van. ROAD
ANGEL Vantage relies on up-to-
date database information for
detection.
Blackspot
A specific location, identified by the
police and local authorities, where a
high number of accidents have
occurred e.g. a difficult junction.
Blackspots are often targeted by
mobile speed enforcement units.
ROAD ANGEL Vantage relies on
up-to-date database information to
identify blackspots.
Mobile Safety Vans
Operators generally publish the
locations where their mobile safety
camera vans will be sited 1-2
weeks in advance. An updated
ROAD ANGEL Vantage has the
latest mobile safety van
information. In addition, the SET
LIVE VAN feature allows ROAD
ANGEL Vantage users to alert each
other to mobile vans.
