Page 26 THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE October 31, 1986 ‘Black box’ unveiled in Jerusalem Dr. Menachem Fishbein of the Jerusalem College of Technology fine-tunes the new “black box” traffic monitor developed by a team of JCT engineers and scientists, which is currently being tested by Israeli police on the country’s highways. Mounted on a pair of 20-foot high poles at the side of the road, the system uses sophisticated infra-red electro-optics technology to provide police with a computerized print-out of each passing car, its speed and the distance between it and the car in front of it. The JCT system is designed to dramatically cut down Israel’s high rate of traffic accidents by discouraging two of the most dangerous driving habits, speeding and tailgating. The system calls for placing 25 to 50 “black boxes,” augmented by dummy boxes, on highways throughout the country. p n=PENS • PENS • PENS: 25% OFF 25% OFF • MONT BLANC • DUPONT • PARKER • SHEAFFER • DUNHILL • WATERMAN • LAMY • COLIBRI, etc. 1/3 OFF ALL CROSS PENS ITALIC - PENS - PENCILS LARGEST SELECTION OF WRITING INSTRUMENTS AND REFILLS liiW 875-7271 1851 PIEDMONT ROAD, NE SHOCK THERAPY.
