The Qatar Transportation and Traffic Safety Center (QTTSC) at Qatar University College of Engineering (QU-CENG) recently hosted a training on “Speed Enforcement and Automated Enforcement Technologies”, aimed to introduce comprehensive methodologies to effectively and economically utilise traffic safety cameras to implement speed and traffic signals laws, and to address the use of these devices as revenue generators and not for road safety improvements.
Organised in collaboration with International Road Federation (IRF), the event brought together experts from CENG, QTTSC, Qatar Ministry of Interior, and Public Works Authority (Ashghal) to exchange information in policies, strategies and technologies to improve traffic safety in Qatar.
The programme included presentations delivered by Lyceum College Acting Principal Benjamin Van Rooyen, IRF Senior Advisor Tom Antonissen, Sensys Gatso Group Middle East General Manager Saman Naziri, and Head of Business Development at Tatweer for Traffic Assets & Systems Operation and Management Ahmed Awad.
Participants were briefed on speed management and speed reduction engineering concepts to protect motorists and pedestrians.
