How SiDem Traffic Manager Works
Multi-Scheme Fixed Camera Enforcement
- Monitor vehicle movements across bus lanes, school streets, yellow boxes, banned turns and restricted routes using fixed roadside cameras, giving teams clear visibility of activity at priority locations.
- Confidently support multiple enforcement schemes in one system, providing a joined‑up view of compliance across the wider road network.
Intelligent Contravention Filtering
- Check vehicle movements against defined compliance rules in real-time, identifying non-compliant or flagged vehicles instantly.
- Automatically clear compliant vehicles before review, reducing noise and cutting unnecessary workload.
- Focus reviewer time on genuine, high‑confidence contraventions, improving consistency, accuracy and decision quality.
Built-In Exemption and Permit Recognition
- Automatically match permitted and authorised vehicles against configurable and exemption lists using SiDem’s Known Vehicle List (KVL).
- Fill DVLA data gaps in real time by querying trusted third‑party sources, ensuring vehicles are processed correctly first time.
- Trigger premium data lookups only where needed, building a complete and accurate vehicle record before review.
- Reduce unnecessary case reviews and give teams confidence that only high‑quality contraventions reach the queue.
Human Authorised, Legally Robust Enforcement
- Ensure every potential contravention is reviewed and authorised by a person before any notice is issued, protecting decision quality and fairness.
- Embed human authorisation into the platform architecture, ensuring alignment with Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 and reducing exposure to avoidable legal challenge.
Flexible Scheme Control and Performance Insight
- Define and manage enforcement rules by location, restriction type and scheme, giving teams precise control over how and where enforcement is applied.
- Update rules quickly as policies and exemptions change, ensuring enforcement stays accurate and aligned with current requirements.
- Support statutory returns and oversight with robust reporting, providing clear evidence of road safety and compliance outcomes.
