Leeds City Council has received a new mobile enforcement vehicle from 7513 Videalert to target key areas where non-compliant drivers cause congestion or safety issues. It will also provide unattended enforcement of offences such as parking on city centre bus stops and school keep clear markings.

Videalert’s system automates the construction of video evidence packs which are reviewed by council operatives prior to sending confirmed offences to the back-office processing system for the issuance of penalty charge notices. 

The new mobile enforcement vehicle is equipped with a complete suite of software applications enabling it to be used for a wide range of traffic management applications. At the end of each shift recorded data is uploaded to its Digital Video Platform.
