UK traffic cameras detect how much blood is in the car

New traffic cameras in the UK make Dracula proud.

Most of the drivers in the largest cities, where they are common carpool lanes have seen the solitary driver cruise in the HOV lane norms. Sometimes these invaders lane get caught, but most of the time you leave to go it alone in the HOV lane.

Some people try all sorts of tricks to get away with using the HOV lane with only one person in the car to put photographs on the windshield to trick traffic cameras using mannequins or dolls fly. A new camera system is being installed in the UK who can say how many people are in the car by detecting the amount of blood and bodily fluids are present in the hope of thwarting such crimes.

The new CCTV system will first be used in Leeds, but could find their way around the UK. The work of the cameras infrared beam shot through the windshield of a car that is capable of detecting blood and other fluids within the people in the car.

Similar technology has been used in the hospital setting for years called pulse oximetery that uses an infrared beam to detect the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood. If these cameras in similar work leading to detect blood is unknown.

Professor John Tyrer led the team at the University of Loughborough who created the device told Daily Mail, “[the cameras] allows you to count on the people.” UK engine organizations say that the cameras are an invasion of the privacy of motorists.

Whether or not CCTV cameras really help reduce crime in the UK is a matter of debate. DailyTech reported a study in 2007 showed that the use of cameras closed circuit television in the United Kingdom does not reduce crime.
