SafeZone wins UK type approval

SafeZone, Siemens’ approach to average speed enforcement, has been approved for deployment in the UK by the Home Office. SafeZone is a modular system which combines proven ANPR technology with advanced data processing and back-office systems. Using Siemens’ Sicore cameras, the system’s compact and unobtrusive design minimises impact on the street and each camera can monitor two lanes of traffic in both directions, dramatically reducing the cost of deployment and system complexity.

SafeZone, 189 Siemens’ approach to average speed enforcement, has been approved for deployment in the UK by the Home Office.

SafeZone is a modular system which combines proven ANPR technology with advanced data processing and back-office systems. Using Siemens’ Sicore cameras, the system’s compact and unobtrusive design minimises impact on the street and each camera can monitor two lanes of traffic in both directions, dramatically reducing the cost of deployment and system complexity.

In terms of evidential security, SafeZone uses three layers of encryption to ensure that the data transferred to the remote instation is secure.

Significantly, the distance between each camera outstation has been approved to a minimum of just 75 metres, which means that average speed can be deployed as an effective alternative to existing analogue fixed speed camera sites and for larger deployment in networks and urban zones.
