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.

- The municipality uses ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras to check whether vehicles are allowed to enter a certain area (Autoluwe Binnenstad). The camera reads the license plate number; an algorithm checks whether entry is allowed. If this is not the case, a photo is offered to the enforcement system, where a BOA assesses whether a fine or warning will be issued.Last change on 14th of July 2025, at 11:41 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- The municipality uses ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras to check whether vehicles are allowed to enter a certain area (pedestrian zone). The camera reads the license plate number; an algorithm checks whether access is allowed. If this is not the case, a picture is offered to the enforcement system, where a BOA assesses whether a fine or warning will be issued.Last change on 31st of July 2025, at 11:14 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
