Types of Speed Cameras Explained: Mobile vs Fixed vs Average Speed Cameras


Listen Later

Speed cameras play a critical role in traffic enforcement, road safety, and smart city infrastructure—but not all speed cameras are designed for the same purpose.

In this episode of Vision Vitals, we break down the three main types of speed cameras used in modern traffic enforcement systems:

  • Mobile speed cameras
  • Fixed speed cameras
  • Average speed (section control) cameras

Our embedded vision expert explains how each system works, where it is best deployed, and how choosing the right speed camera directly impacts enforcement effectiveness, driver behavior, and long-term road safety outcomes.

🎯 Key Topics Covered

  • What is a mobile speed camera, and when portability matters
  • How fixed speed cameras provide 24/7 automated deterrence
  • How average speed cameras enforce compliance over long road sections
  • Use cases across highways, tunnels, bridges, school zones, and urban intersections
  • Core camera requirements for speed enforcement:
    • Global shutter imaging
    • High-resolution sensors
    • Low-light and night performance
    • IP67-rated rugged design
    • Edge processing and ANPR readiness

This episode is ideal for traffic authorities, ITS planners, system integrators, and smart city decision-makers evaluating speed enforcement strategies.

🎧 Tune in to understand which speed camera type best suits your traffic safety objectives—and why defining the problem on the road is the first step to choosing the right technology.
