Thirteen digital mobile speed cameras systems will replace some of the existing analogue (film based) cameras currently in use.

The German-manufactured VPS camera systems operate on scanning LIDAR technology with lasers sweeping the road and precisely measuring the speed of up to six lanes of traffic travelling in opposite directions.

“These cameras have proven to be an effective tool in detecting speeding drivers in Western Australia and other jurisdictions around the world,” Acting Assistant Commissioner Keating said.

“They allow officers to deploy cameras at a broad range of speeding hot spots and measure vehicles simultaneously across multiple lanes and in different directions.”

The 'up to six lanes' from one camera is not correct, unless they're talking about using 2 camera at the same point on dual carriageway roads



I'm assuming they will buy all mobile units, and buy some roadside enclosures to mount the mobile units in like they do in WA. The fixed ones are the silver pillar type ones you see in Germany etc.

Remember if you're running Blinder HP-905's - these do not protect against the VPS (time for an upgrade)
