Videalert launches clean air zone enforcement capability

Videalert is taking advantage of Parkex 2017 in April to announce the first of a new generation of clean air zone (CAZ) and low emission zone (LEZ) enforcement solutions, providing cost effective enforcement to reduce pollution from toxic gases, including nitrogen dioxide. Videalert will show how its hosted platform automates the management and enforcement CAZ and LEZ contraventions.

Videalert will show how its hosted platform automates the management and enforcement CAZ and LEZ contraventions.  With real-time identification of the vehicle type (including make, model, colour, gross weight, engine type and CO² emission band) the system can determine whether an offence has been committed and/or whether the correct tariff has been paid for entry into the restricted zone.  The system also provides real-time intelligence to determine the extent of contraventions in any target location.

Around 1,700 European cities have implemented low emission zones (LEZs) and in addition some have restricted city centre access for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Even those that restrict HGV access, such as Paris and Rome, allow exemptions at certain times and for particular classes of vehicle. But with what effect?

    London debuts three more low-emission bus zones
    Transport for London (TfL) and the city’s mayor Sadiq Khan have introduced three more low-emission bus zones (LEBZ) to help reduce toxic air in the UK capital. There are now 10 LEBZs in London, which are expected to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 90% along some of the capital’s most polluted roads. Buses operating within the zones meet the cleanest emissions standards and have been delivered through a combination of new and retrofitted vehicles, TfL says. The three new zones in Lewisham, Stratford and

    As part of its drive to create a greener, healthier city, Westminster City Council in London is set to trial emissions-based charging for diesel cars parking within Marylebone. In a pilot programme to be introduced from 3 April 2017, the charge for pay-to-park bays during normal parking hours will be raised specifically within F zone for diesel cars, some of the heaviest of polluting vehicles. This will apply to visitors into Marylebone, with resident permits remaining unchanged. The surcharge will ad
