189 Siemens has been awarded a contract by Manchester City Council to supply unattended bus lane enforcement cameras for sites across the city, to enable the Council to identify unauthorised vehicles using the lanes restricted for the unhindered flow of buses, capture the event and prepare an evidential record to support the issue of an enforcement notice. The cameras are re-deployable and will be moved around a number of locations to provide maximum coverage.

Working with UK bus lane enforcement equipment supplier Zenco Systems, the contract includes the supply, installation and maintenance of fifteen Lanewatch cameras, two review stations and instation software to be hosted in the cloud, together with the provision of three years’ maintenance and an option for a further two year extension.  Siemens will also provide a 24/7 manned call centre.

According to Siemens sales and marketing director Tom MacMorran, the contract brings together class leading services and equipment from Siemens and Zenco Systems. “Together, we are able to offer a highly capable and dependable solution to address the requirements of Manchester City Council for enforcing bus lanes. We are confident that our solution will discourage inappropriate use of the bus routes, allowing approved public service vehicles to deliver reliable journey times, make modal shift to public transport a more attractive proposition and ultimately reduce road congestion within the city,’ he said.
