Speed Enforcement
Through cities, towns, villages, on urban and interurban roads, and past schools, SafeZone is a Home Office Type-Approved average speed enforcement system. It is based on industry-leading automatic license plate recognition technology. It provides effective speed enforcement in zones that extend between pairs of cameras that are mounted at the side of either single or dual-lane highways or on cantilever poles or bridges over multi-lane roads.

Latest evolution of Speed Enforcement receives HOTA approval
We are delighted to have received Home Office Type Approval (HOTA) for the latest evolution of our SafeZone average speed enforcement solution. This recent certification means that evidence from its feature-rich version of SafeZone is fully admissable in court for offences under the Road Traffic Offenders Act, 1988.
With this latest SafeZone system, we have an average speed enforcement solution that leads the market in terms of security, image quality, capture rates and system performance. The certification covers a number of new SafeZone features, including day/night mode functionality, with enables the camera to operate without the need for intrusive, additional lighting to be installed.
So, how does it work?
- Each camera in the enforced network reads the license plate of every vehicle passing through its field of view
- It sends an encrypted plate read including time and date stamp to the Evidence Retrieval and Control Unit (ERCU) back office
- At the back-office, the plates are matched from two or more cameras
- The time difference between the matched reads is used to determine the average speed of the vehicle between cameras
- Evidential records are created for vehicles that exceed the set speed threshold
- These encrypted records are transferred from the ERCU to an Offence Viewing and Decision System (OVDS) for decrypting and viewing, before being passed on to third-party penalty notice management systems
- Powerful data filtering and sorting strategies in the OVDS allows for effective intelligence-led enforcement
- In addition, a data analysis function allows comprehensive reporting of violation statistics
