Astucia’s hugely imaginative patented Camera Stud may sound like the stuff of science fiction but is an extremely effective tool of traffic management. Housed within a strong metal casing that protrudes a mere 4 mm from the road surface, the camera is a full–function digital video device producing pin–sharp images of approaching or passing vehicles and their registration plates.

The unit is suitable for use on and off the public highway and is capable of operating in practically all environments. The camera also comes with a computer controlled self cleaning unit so that road dirt and grime are removed regularly to maintain the quality of the image captured.

Astucia’s speed detection stud is the newest member of its Intelligent Road Stud family.  It operates using Infra Red beam technology to accurately calculate the speed of passing vehicles.  Housed in a heavy casing for durability it connects with roadside control cabinets using integrated specialist computer software. 

Data collected from the stud can be transmitted back from the roadside to a central processor either in real time or on a time delay basis using GPRS communications.  It can be linked with the Astucia camera stud providing an opportunity to also send Automatic Number Plate Registration (ANPR) data of the vehicle captured simultaneously by the camera stud.
