Secondary Speed Verification
There are strict legislative requirements for the accuracy of speed measurements obtained by a fixed digital safety camera.
A major initiative in Victoria has been introduction of a policy to double-check measured speed. Secondary Speed Verification means that the speed recorded by a fixed camera must first be recorded by a certified speed measurement device and then verified by a secondary means. The results are then compared for consistency before an infringement can be issued.
This method was developed to give the Victorian motoring public confidence in the infringement issuing system. Two different systems effectively check every infringement issued, so there is double assurance of accuracy.
