7513 Videalert’s new fully hosted civil enforcement solution, which enables local authorities to outsource the hardware and software required for civil enforcement, has gained Department for Transport (DfT) Manufacturer Certification.

Videalert’s hosted solution makes it easier for councils to rapidly deploy the latest unattended digital CCTV enforcement systems, enabling them to speed up the deployment of systems to enforce the full range of moving traffic offences including banned turns, yellow box junctions and bus lanes. It also allows the enforcement of parking offences on keep clear zones outside schools, one of the exemptions detailed in the recent Deregulation Bill, without needing a major IT infrastructure project.

As part of this hosted solution, enforcement systems using Videalert's WAN 3G/4G cellular units can be installed for video processing at the network edge. The hosted servers within Videalert’s virtual server farm retrieve evidence packs from the RDS units allowing trained council operators to access and review them using standard web browsers, before confirmed offences are transmitted to the back office PCN system. Each council has a dedicated virtual server, so security and integrity is fully guaranteed with cloud storage used for backup.

According to Tim Daniels, sales and marketing director of Videalert: “This new hosted solution requires no ICT involvement from councils and can be delivered through a variety of flexible commercial models. It enables councils to respond rapidly to operational and strategic requests for deployments over both the short and long-term. Our first customer will be going live with the new system shortly.”

Recent reports of further press controversy in the US over automated enforcement (see ‘Focusing on accuracy?’, ITS International raise again the issue of standards and what constitutes ‘good enough’ in terms of system accuracy and overall solution effectiveness. Comparatively, automated enforcement has always expe

    As IP-based technology makes its presence felt in the control room sector, it makes for greater economies of scale and also offers a migration path for many other traffic management technologies. So says Barco's Guy Van Wijmeersch. Efficient control room collaboration and decision-making is only possible if operators and decision-makers have easy and timely access to information. In many cases, that information also needs to be accessible to multiple users at the same time. This is certainly so in the case
