Southampton City Council has taken delivery of a new 7513 Videalert mobile enforcement vehicle, which supports multiple traffic enforcement and community safety applications simultaneously and will be used in conjunction with Videalert’s hosted digital video platform that was recently installed as part of a project to introduce CCTV enforcement of bus lanes in key areas of the city.
 
The vehicle will patrol the city, targeting vehicles that stop unlawfully on the keep clear areas outside schools in response to complaints and concerns raised by parents and teachers about irresponsible parking. It will also be used to enforce illegal parking at bus stops.
 
The Videalert mobile enforcement vehicle has been procured through Balfour Beatty Living Places which has a ten-year contract to manage all highway infrastructure assets on behalf of Southampton City Council.  

The vehicle features a roof-mounted pan/tilt/zoom camera and two roof-mounted cameras that provide ANPR and colour image capture for evidence collection. Evidence packs will be downloaded from a USB for access and review by trained council operators prior to sending confirmed offences to the back office processing system for the issuance of PCNs.
