Founded in 2000, RoadPilot was the first company in the UK to launch a GPS-based speed camera detection/location system. The company continues to develop groundbreaking speed camera location solutions for consumers, and is also now the leading provider of associated data to the satellite navigation industry.
RoadPilot’s products deliver vital advanced warning of speed cameras and accident black spots, helping motorists:
There are more than 5,500 fixed speed cameras and many more mobile speed trap locations across the UK, which result in almost three million speeding fines being issued each year.
Drivers given a speeding fine face a minimum of three penalty points (an accumulation of 12 points leading to a total driving ban) and speeding fines upwards of £60. This will also have an impact on insurance premiums, with three licence points attracting an possible increase of £253 per year or more.
In addition, a recent MORI survey found that motorists who have a speed camera detection and accident black spot warning systems travel 50% further between accidents than non-users.
RoadPilot’s Omni Database
RoadPilot’s dedicated speed camera database team is constantly adding new speed camera locations, including temporary speed cameras sited at roadworks. All RoadPilot products come pre-loaded with this ’Omni’ speed camera database as standard.
RoadPilot’s method of speed camera data acquisition differs from those of its competitors in that our team of dedicated surveyors physically visit each and every site in the database to ensure that every attribute – such as the exact GPS coordinates, direction of camera, type of camera and official speed limit – are correct.
Testament to the breadth and reliability of the Omni spped camera database, RoadPilot’s speed camera data is now licensed to many of the world’s leading mapping information firms, including Nokia, TeleAtlas and The AA (Automobile Association).
