As I've stated previously, I agree that Plain St is not a very good test site. I almost got pinged by a Multanova that was just over the crest of a hill not too long ago (100m detection by the V1) so we can't expect any better from the more directional LIDAR signal. It's still a real setup so if they do position these cameras in a way that reduces detection (hills, bends etc), we may be in trouble.

I am also very worried by the detection (or lack of) when approaching the Poliscan from the rear.

I still think that we need proper tests where the operators are not messing around with the unit. I've been past two Poliscans and both times there were 4 or 5 operators standing around it, messing with cables, covers, lenses etc and detection range was inconsistent.
