The London Borough of Bexley is installing automated enforcement systems to capture moving traffic contravention at several key locations.  The contract for the 7513 Videalert fixed/redeployable cameras has been awarded to OpenView Security Solutions and will supplement the council’s existing fleet of CCTV cars and enable enforcement to be extended to improve driver compliance.  
 
The Videalert CCTV enforcement system combines automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) with video analytics to automatically capture only the number plates of vehicles that actually commit offences.   It will also be used to enforce weight restriction contraventions applying to HGVs on designated roads.

    A new system that combines laser-based remote sensing and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) is being trialled in London and Birmingham in a bid to catch polluting cars. Developed by Hager Environmental and Atmospheric Technologies (HEAT), the emissions detecting and reporting system (EDAR) remotely detects and measures infrared absorption of environmentally critical gases coming out of a moving vehicle. The technology is combined with still/scene camera technology and an ANPR camera, which al
