London borough extends use of unattended CCTV enforcement

Following a successful pilot, the London Borough of Redbridge has awarded OpenView Security Solutions a contract to extend the 7513 Videalert-based unattended CCTV enforcement system to cover additional identified problem locations.
 
According to Videalert, by combining ANPR technology with sophisticated video analytics, the Videalert digital video platform seamlessly integrates with Redbridge’s existing analogue and ONVIF-compliant digital megapixel cameras and reliably enforces moving traffic contraventions such as bus lanes, banned turns and box junctions.  

The Videalert solution also automates the construction of video evidence packs which are transmitted to Civica for review and processing without the need for manual copy and pasting as required by the previous analogue-based systems.

Councillor Baldesh Nijjar, Cabinet member for Environment and Sustainability, said: “The Videalert platform complements the variety of work we do to ensure that our roads are as safe as possible. This system has allowed us to efficiently enforce parking and moving traffic violations and has had an impact on reducing traffic congestion and improving road safety across the Borough.”

It was against that background that the first commercial application Safelane, the automated traffic management system designed to detect work zone incursions, was carried out during the temporary closure of a motorway.
