Challenges in Road Safety Enforcement • Perceptions • Speed traps are about making money • Enforcement has no role in RSE • How do we better use Enforcement data to improve Road Safety • How do we use technology to better utilise an Officers time to meet the needs of all stakeholders www.tmtservices.co.za |

Challenges to Road Safety Enforcement • How do we utilise Enforcement data to improve Road Safety • TMT are in the process of geospatially mapping the location and time of infringements • Ultimately targeting all its contracts to assist in the analysis and presentation of improved road safety performance www.tmtservices.co.za | 8
Challenges to Road Safety Enforcement • Speed Traps are a poor use of personnel who should be involved in visible policing www.tmtservices.co.za | 9
New technologies – new road safety law enforcement methodologies Challenges in Road Safety Enforcement Possible Solution - Flexi Fixed – Camera in a a box • iCam is highly automated and no longer needs to be operated by traffic officers “in hiding” • iCam works autonomously, and the officer is released to visible policing down stream of the camera • Multiple Sites on one DPP approved route 10 www.tmtservices.co.za |

ANPR Vehicles – PE ”Ghost Squad” “Since hitting the streets last month, the squad has issued hundreds of thousands of rands worth of fines and arrested at least 20 motorists. The metro set up the ghost squad last month to clamp down on traffic violations in the city. Following its launch, Councilor Best said the operation was aimed at clamping down on the general disregard for traffic laws and taking back the Bay’s roads. To date, the ghost squad has arrested 20 people for driving under the influence of alcohol, overloading and road rage. It has also issued traffic fines to the value of R344 000 from July 24 to August 11, with taxi drivers being the worst offenders. More than 140 taxis were caught speeding, disregarding red robots and overtaking where it was not allowed. At least 31 people were fined for talking on their cellphones while driving.” 17_09_20 | mobi.ticketing www.tmtservices.co.za | 15
Smart Enforcement can significantly improve Road Safety • There is no Silver Bullet” approach that fits all municipalities • The solutions will vary from location to location and we have to adapt • The service provider and Municipality have to work in a partnership to make enforcement a success • The use of Enforcement “Big Data” will improve effectiveness • A change in mind set on the use of traditional Camera & ANPR technology can yield huge benefits in Officer Effectiveness www.tmtservices.co.za | 16
