189 Siemens’ SafeZone average speed detection solution has been selected by the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership in the UK to improve safety and speed compliance in two key locations in Brighton and Hastings. The Home Office type-approved solution will be fully integrated to the back- office penalty notice processing facility run by Sussex Safer Roads Partnership.

SafeZone uses automatic number plate recognition technology to identify all vehicles as they enter the enforcement zones. It calculates average speed over a measured distance travelled within the zone, ensuring high compliance to the speed limits and safer traffic flow.

Evidential records are only created for vehicles that exceed the speed limit and are sent remotely to the back -office in-station for processing through a fixed communications network.
