The ITS (intelligent transportation systems) department of CSC recently started rolling out their first spot speed enforcement product in the Netherlands. This enforcement product uses loops to detect the speed of vehicles. These loops are embedded in the road surface by cutting slots. Customers perceive these embedded loops as invasive, mainly because installing them takes a relatively long time and causing road blocks. This is why CSC wants to develop a non-invasive traffic enforcement product. The new enforcement product called NITE (non-invasive traffic enforcement) should make use of a non-invasive technology and the design of the product should be adapted to this new technology resulting in a competitive non-invasive traffic enforcement product. This project focused on research of non-invasive technologies, which technology is the most suitable for a new enforcement product and which technologies should be used in future traffic products by CSC. Radar is the most suitable technology to implement at this moment. Using a non-invasive technology like radar resulted in a redesign of the product as well, several aspects are highlighted such as: how the product is installed, how it will be aligned to the enforcement area and certification and maintenance of the product. The shape of the product has significantly changed as well making it a current and future proof design. In conclusion NITE has the ability to be produced and used by CSC in the traffic enforcement market, the product will set the pace for future developments by CSC in the ITS market.
