Siemens Mobility and WJ Group have entered into an exclusive, long-term partnership to deliver systems for temporary automatic speed camera at road works (TASCAR) in the UK.
Deployed to enforce mandatory speed limits, this TASCAR solution will feature Siemens Mobility’s HOTA (Home Office Type Approval) approved SafeZone system incorporating the company’s Sicore II ANPR camera.
Proven in applications worldwide, Sicore cameras provide industry-leading image quality and number plate read accuracy with the system able to process up to 2,500 fast-moving vehicles per lane per hour. The technology uses the latest camera sensors to provide evidentially secure identification in all conditions, making it suitable for automated TASCAR enforcement solutions.
Wayne Johnston, managing director, WJ Group, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for us to upgrade our safety enforcement cameras and better service our customers with industry leading technology. This strategic partnership with Siemens Mobility will no doubt stimulate ideas for further road safety improvements in line with our continual drive for innovation.”
The Siemens Mobility and WJ Group partnership will ensure that the installation, set-up, validation and maintenance is supported by an experienced team of engineers, project managers and industry experts in TASCAR.
Utilising police sites or Siemens Mobility’s hosted environment in Poole, the Evidence Retrieval and Control Units will be set up to collect the data and check for speed violations between defined camera pairs, as well as the Offence Viewing and Decision Systems to view, verify and process offence data. Where the hosted option is used, Siemens Mobility will send secure evidence to the authorities, reducing their administrative burden.
