Scientists have invented a roadside cameras, can count on the number of people
travelling in the vehicle. The technology can be used to catch up with lone
drivers who abuse congestion - to ease auto stocks lane. These channels, give
priority to vehicles at least one passenger, but can be misused, by solo drivers
who hope that they will not see. Even some local people, in the seat next to the
dummies, they created the illusion of a passenger. Dtect the new system, which
projects an infrared light quickly scan through the car windscreen, the skin can
identify persons from the mannequins, dogs or other diversions.
Its inventors
hope it will be in use before the end of the year. However, the driving agencies
have rejected the technology that the British do not have enough road space and
priority lanes, this will be a long time before the reliability of such devices
can prove satisfactory. The demand for automation systems already exist, since
1998, when Leeds City Council to create a car-sharing, on the a647. Their plan
is the Executive Board and police, who pull over the suspected offenders who are
convicted and fined. But now experts in Loughborough University believe they
have invented a more effective system.
Loughborough doctor John tyrer - who is a
director of a company vehicle occupants, the company set up by the University
commercialization of inventions - said: 'The problem with a police officer in a
bright yellow jacket is that you will see him From afar, from the priority lane,
and then go back later. You can adhere to the photos or wearing a modelling
agency, in the passenger seat, so CCTV can easily deceived themselves. We can
not use thermal imaging, because they do not work, through the glass. tyrer and
his team to multi-spectral imaging, can capture the frequency of light invisible
to the human eye, such as infrared. Blood, hair and water content, so that the
skin has its own unique signature, unlike cars, furniture, pets and any other
possible views. Last year, the Department of Transport announced plans for the
first auto stocks in the highway, so that eligible vehicles bypass traffic
congestion in the m62 near Bradford, where the highway project, found that 84
percent of the vehicles a Crew during peak times. But dtect met with a cool
reception from the driver groups.
Nigel humphries, spokesman for the Association
of British Drivers, said: 'We do not have enough road space, in this country a
number of households, buses, cycling and the three legs of the dwarves. You want
to priorities, in fact-run mother, I think we do not want their priorities.
'Paul watters, head of roads policy, the AA, said:' This is accepted [auto
stocks lane] only the effective implementation by the police presence. We need
to ensure reliability. We have seen with high-speed cameras and the number plate
theft, people will find a way around things. Criminal end of driving is very
good at that.
