Road User and Congestion Charging
Building effective traffic control and management systems demands long-term investment. By working in partnership with Traffic Solutions Local Authorities ensure that the most economical and effective systems are deployed to meet the growth in local traffic conditions.
Siemens has worked with Transport for London to provide the enforcement system for the Western Extension Zone (WEZ).
Siemens, operates and maintains the system, which involved the installation of over 650 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras at 127 sites.
The cameras are capable of capturing details of an estimated one million number plates every day.
The revolutionary Siemens solution processes the vehicle number plate information at the roadside, minimising the communications bandwidth required and the cost of the communications infrastructure, allowing greater flexibility of data centre location and easier future integration with other technologies.
Siemens is at the forefront of road user charging technology worldwide, helping customers from Seattle to Singapore fulfil their individual and varied demand management needs. Siemens has proven to be an expert integrator in all forms of road user charging technology, from ANPR to DSRC (dedicated short range communications) to GNSS (global navigation satellite system) and is the ideal high performance partner for the congested road ahead.
