Goal and impact
Goal: The cameras - and thus the algorithm - are deployed for the purpose of enforcing the downtown's closed zone for vehicles. The impact of the algorithm on citizens is low. Only the reading of the license plate is performed by the algorithm. Alleged violations are checked manually by a Boa, to determine whether there is a violation.
Considerations
Using people and analogue resources 24 hours a day is not feasible from a capacity point of view. Besides, a photograph of a violation constitutes conclusive evidence. Alleged offences are checked manually by a Boa to determine whether an offence has been committed.
Human intervention
A Boa checks alleged offences and determines whether an alleged offender has committed a criminal offence.

- Leiden municipality uses ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras to check whether vehicles are allowed to drive in a certain area. This applies to zero-emission zones and car-free zones in the city. If a vehicle is not allowed to drive in an area, the camera recognises it and a manual check takes place to see if someone is fined.Last change on 13th of May 2025, at 7:47 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
