How is speeding violation calculated in highway section speed measurement?

Section speed measurement is achieved through automatic license plate recognition systems. The two speed measurement points at the front and rear capture images by lane, so reducing speed can adjust your speed within the limit. During driving, comply with traffic rules and avoid speeding.
Last time I encountered a section speed control on the highway, to be honest, many people don't understand how it calculates violations. Simply put, this speed measurement takes photos of your license plate and records the time at designated point A, then does the same at point B. The system calculates your average speed based on the distance between the two points and the time taken. If the average speed exceeds the limit, say 120km/h, it's considered speeding. I remember once when I exceeded the limit, the ticket showed the exact time and speed data, plus points were deducted - a hard lesson learned. Using cruise control to maintain steady speed can help avoid this, never accelerate then decelerate midway as it won't help. The advantage of section speed control is it's fairer, preventing drivers from speeding between cameras, making roads much safer. Everyone should drive steadily.
From a technical perspective, the calculation method of interval speed measurement is quite fascinating. It captures the vehicle and time at the highway entrance camera, then takes another shot at the exit, and applies the formula: speed = distance / time difference. If this speed exceeds the speed limit, the system automatically determines a speeding violation, and the data is uploaded to the traffic management platform. I recall that the cameras rely on AI for license plate recognition and calculations, which is quite accurate. The consequences of a violation are typically a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan plus around 3 demerit points, affecting the next annual inspection. How to avoid it? Installing a navigation app with real-time alerts makes driving much more reassuring, and it's more reasonable than single-point speed measurement.
Interval speed measurement is designed to ensure everyone's safety by calculating violations based on average speed. Simply put, it records the time when you pass the starting point and the ending point, then calculates whether your speed exceeds the limit. This prevents drivers from slowing down only in front of cameras while speeding dangerously on the road. If you exceed the speed limit, the ticket will detail the data, including the fine and penalty points, but more importantly, it helps avoid accidents. I've seen too many accidents caused by speeding, so now when I drive, I always stay within the speed limit, using interval speed measurement to remind myself to drive steadily—safety first.
