Following a successful pilot scheme, the London Borough of Bromley is installing a 7513 Videalert automated enforcement system in a bid to increase road safety outside five schools that have been experiencing high levels of inconsiderate behaviour from parents parking on the yellow keep clear areas.

It is also deploying unattended CCTV enforcement systems on all its bus lane locations to upgrade the existing manually operated systems and provide automatic capture of offending vehicles’ number plates.  The contract has been awarded to OpenView Security Solutions, a leading provider of CCTV systems to local authorities, under the ELS framework agreement, which is available to all London boroughs.
 
The system combines automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) with video analytics; using a single PTZ camera, it continuously monitors the keep clear zones and automatically captures only drivers that are stationary in defined ‘watch areas’ and exceed the ‘watch times’. Evidence packs are automatically created for review by a qualified operator before sending them to back office PCN processing systems.
