445. Control de tramo
El control de tramo, también llamado control de velocidad media, mide la velocidad media de un vehículo a lo largo de un tramo definido en lugar de hacerlo en un único punto. Las cámaras registran el vehículo en dos o más ubicaciones y el tiempo de recorrido entre los puntos se utiliza para calcular la velocidad media. Si supera el límite aplicable, el sistema puede registrar una infracción. Este sistema anima a mantener una velocidad legal durante un tramo más largo en lugar de reducirla únicamente cerca de un radar fijo.
What is section control?
Section control is an automated enforcement system that calculates a vehicle’s average speed between two or more measurement points.
How does section control calculate your speed?
The system records when the vehicle passes the entry and exit measurement points. Using the known distance and travel time, it calculates the vehicle’s average speed over the section.
What is the difference between section control and a speed camera?
A conventional speed camera measures speed at one specific location, while section control measures the average speed over a longer distance.
Can slowing down just before the second camera avoid a section-control fine?
Not necessarily. The system uses the average speed over the entire measured section, so briefly slowing down near a camera does not erase excessive speed earlier in the section.
Does section control use number-plate recognition?
Many systems use automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) to identify the same vehicle at different measurement points. The exact technology varies between countries.
Can section control be mobile?
Yes. Although many systems are permanently installed, mobile average-speed systems can also be used temporarily, for example around roadworks.
