What is Section Speed?
1 Answers
Section speed measurement involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. Below is relevant information about section speed measurement: Section Speed Measurement: Section speed measurement involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The average speed of a vehicle on that section is calculated based on the time it takes for the vehicle to pass between the two monitoring points. The speed is then compared to the speed limit for that section to determine if the vehicle has violated the speed limit. At the same time, the information of traffic-violating vehicles is displayed in real-time on LED screens to notify and warn more vehicles. Advantages of Section Speed Measurement: With traditional single-point speed measurement devices, drivers who are familiar with the location of the speed measurement point can avoid penalties by braking to reduce their speed, which can easily lead to rear-end collisions. In contrast, section speed measurement calculates the average speed to detect speeding, eliminating the possibility of drivers trying to cheat the system, making it more scientific and fair.
