AKRON ENGAGES SCHOOL ZONE SPEED CONTROLS

PROVIDENCE, RI -- Nestor, Inc., the parent of Nestor Traffic Systems, Inc., a leading provider of advanced traffic safety solutions, is pleased to announce the implementation of an automated speed enforcement program for the City of Akron, Ohio. The first two of four PoliscanSpeed Systems were deployed yesterday in an effort to provide more consistent enforcement of speed limits in targeted areas throughout Akron.

William B. Danzell, Chairman of Nestor traffic systems, stated, "We are excited to partner with the City of Akron on such an important safety initiative. We believe that the unique ability of PoliscanSpeed to capture violations on limited sight roads makes it the most effective system for Akron's automated enforcement program. This technology, coupled with our turnkey processing services will allow the City to provide consistent enforcement without burdening City resources."

Strongly supporting Akron's implementation of the Automated Mobile Speed Enforcement System, Mayor Donald Plusquellic quoted, "Nestor's PoliscanSpeed System is another tool that we can use to let our community know that speed limits will be enforced and that we are serious about ensuring safety in our neighborhoods."

Nestor Traffic Systems (NTS) provides automated traffic safety solutions to state and municipal governments. Our goal is to deliver effective solutions for intersection and roadway safety. We currently offer CrossingGuardŽ, a turnkey solution which helps customers reduce red light running and intersection collisions through automated enforcement, and PoliscanSpeed, a laser-based photo speed enforcement system designed to reduce the number of speeding vehicles on public roadways, including school zones and construction zones.

We are the exclusive North American distributor for Vitronic's PoliscanSpeed, the industry's only scanning LIDAR, capable of tracking multiple vehicles in multiple lanes, simultaneously. An industry first, the scanning LIDAR mobile speed enforcement system is an innovative solution for digital speed detection and image recording. The scanning capability of the PoliscanSpeed system minimizes the ambiguity and measuring errors associated with conventional photo speed enforcement systems.
