Our desire to be able to travel reely has never been so great.

And thanks to prosperity and technology we have this mobil-

ity. But this reedom also has a downside: the increased level

o road trac leading to more complexity and above all the

human toll. Every year over 1.2 million people are killed in road

trac accidents worldwide. And another 50 million are injured.

Trac is also having a signicant impact on our envirement:

high concentrations o particulates and ozon in the atmos-

phore have been linked to bronchial problems in urban areas.

It is no wonder that the World Health Organisation (WHO)

considers road trac as a serious global health and develop-

ment problem.

Who are the most vulnerable

Road trac accidents involve people rom all age groups but

aect young people the most in relative terms. In the case o

children between the ages o 4 and 14 road trac accidents

are the second most common cause o death ater bronchial

inections and beore malaria. In the case o people between

the ages o 15 and 29 road trac accidents are the number one

cause o death throughout the world.

What can be done

One o the most important tasks o any government is to protect

its citizens. Investments in the saety o vehicles, roads and inra-

structures, specically ocussing on pedestrians and cyclists can

reduce the number o victims. But the largest, most unpredict-

able actor is still human behaviour.

Control and correct

Clear trac laws and suitable enorcement are critically impor-

tant in controlling trac behaviour. Studies have shown that by

reducing speed by just 5%, atal crashes will be reduced by 20%.

Gatsometer makes an important contribution to trac saety

with innovative solutions that aect trac behaviour. The eec-

tiveness and reliability o our systems are proven on a daily basis

all over the world.

The above gures have been taken rom the Global status report on road saety:

time or action. WHO, 2009.

saer, simpler, greener

We see it as our mission to make road trac saer and less

complex and to limit the impact o trac on the environment.

Experience and technology enable us to provide the most ad-

vanced solutions or reducing red-light and speed violations,

managing trac fows and enorcing environmental zones.

Solutions to improve safety

Since our oundation more than 50 years ago Gatsometer

has provided more than 45.000 installations o red-light and/

or speed enorcement equipment. Our systems can also be

used or monitoring railway crossings and or tracing a specic

vehicle in the case o an AMBER Alert.

Solutions to improve traffic flow

The increasing intensity and complexity o trac fows require

eective trac management.

Gatsometer oers opportunities to control trac fows. Enorc-

ing dedicated lanes or buses, taxis and trucks with Gatsometer

cameras encourages the required behaviour. In addition to

improving trac fow, Gatsometers trac control systems also

have a positive eect on saety and the environment.

Solutions to improve air quality

Many countries are worried about the air quality in their towns

and cities. Designating certain areas as environmental zones

and introducing emissions-related tolls are policy measures that

help to reduce emissions o harmul substances. This enables

governments to meet standards, such as those set within the

European Union.

A road closure system can be used to make town centres a

no-go area or polluting vehicles. Environmental zones can be

automatically enorced by using an eective solution supplied

by Gatsometer.

Tailormade for you

Gatsometer can provide you with a ull range o solutions to

boost road saety, enhance trac fow and improve air quality.

Depending on your requirements we can provide tailor-made

solutions: rom advice and design to installation, system integra-

tion, training and management.

Gatsometers history

Speed as a career

Maurice Gatsonides, the ounder o Gatsometer, is the inventor

o the worlds rst reliable speed-measuring device. As a motor

sport an, car manuacturer and winner o the Monte Carlo rally

in 1953 he knew what he was talking about. His rst speed-

measuring device was intended or sports purposes, but he soon

spotted the opportunities it provided or saving lives in trac.

Always inventive and innovative

Since the introduction o the rst speed-measuring device

in 1958 Gatsometer has continuously developed and manu-

actured new and improved precision equipment and has

sold this all over the world. Now, thanks to a comprehensive

network o agents, it sells its products in over ty countries.

We have always been at the oreront o development: with the

red-light camera (1965), radar and detection loops or speed

measurement (1970), mobile radar speed control (1980),

sotware in memory cards (1988), digital cameras (1997), sys-

tems that capture both licence plates and dr ivers aces (2004),

the Loopless Trigger Radar (2005) and, recently, AMBER Alert,

the Amcam and the Monolite.
