TSS (Traffic Safety Systems) - part of AD Group - announces that its Radar Autovision mobile CCTV technology has been selected by the Kuwait Police Department for a roads policing trial in their patrol cars.
Julian Cooke, International Sales Manager at TSS, comments: "The evaluation of Radar Autovision by the Kuwait Police began at the end of March and follows on from interest expressed by Injifa Security Services, part of the Al Wazan Group of companies, based in Kuwait City who specialise in the supply of cars and equipment to the police and military in Kuwait."
Once fitted in a police car, Radar Autovision is able to integrate accurate speed measurement with digital CCTV evidence of a target vehicle that has exceeded the speed limit or committed other traffic violations. There is also the potential for it to be used in a stationary or moving vehicle and to monitor offenders travelling towards or away from the police car.
Hasan Al Arabi, Executive Manager at Injifa, who saw TSS systems on display at the Intersec exhibition held in Dubai earlier this year, says: "We were looking for an advanced digital solution which could deliver the right level of performance for the Kuwait Police and were impressed with Radar Autovision when we saw it during Intersec, giving us the confidence to put the TSS system forward for an intensive trail. Representatives from TSS have worked with us throughout the ongoing test, including travelling to Kuwait City for the initial installation, and a presentation to the Chief of Traffic Police."
The Kuwait Police test follows on from work that TSS has undertaken with other forces in the region - most notably Dubai - and with a 60% growth in enquiries year-on-year from the Middle East, the company is confident that this will be translated into a major increase in orders over the coming year.
