London Borough deploys ANPR-based CCTV system for enforcing HGV weight restrictions

One of London’s local authorities has decided to implement an advanced CCTV system aimed at enforcing HGV weight restrictions which apply to HGVs exceeding 7.5 tonnes on designated roads.

The London Borough of Hillingdon has decided to implement the system in order to improve safety and security on the roads, while in the same time reducing its operational costs by using the unattended digital CCTV solution.

ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) is used in conjunction with video analytics to capture vehicles that disregard the stated weight restrictions. Contraventions are automatically captured at the time they occur and transferred to the hosted server platform without using any council IT infrastructure or communications networks. Evidence packs are remotely reviewed and processed by the council’s enforcement contractor staff using standard web browsers before confirmed offences are sent to the PCN back office system for processing.
