Cheltenham-based AGD System’s 342 multi-lane highway monitoring vehicle detector has secured UK Home Office Type Approval (HOTA).

The company noted that this is the only single frequency modulated continuous wave radar system to have a multilane speed enforcement system through the rigorous HOTA process.

The Type Approved HADECS3 multi-lane speed enforcement system, which is equipped with 342 radar, will be part of the enforcement strategy in Highways England’s Smart Motorways initiative.

"This radar helps provide critical information to authorities so that they can measure the speed of passing vehicles for enforcement and monitoring purposes."
