Goal and impact

The purpose of the algorithm is to recognise license plates of vehicles in violation for after-tax parking tax respectively. A citizen encounters the outcome of the algorithm in case of an offence.

Considerations

This is in addition to manual enforcement. The algorithm supports the process of determining whether a car is parked incorrectly (Fiscal Parking Enforcement). A DPIA was conducted to determine the privacy impact.

Human intervention

There is intervention by a BOA (charge/fine). The BOA checks whether the licence plate has been properly and rightly scanned before a fine is issued.

Risk management

Procurement of services from ISO-certified suppliers. Algorithms remain vested in the suppliers. A processor agreement and DPIA are in place to minimise risks to the municipality and citizens.

Legal basis

Municipal parking enforcement ordinance 2023.

Elaboration on impact assessments

The DPIA highlighted a number of risks that have been mitigated with additional measures.

Impact assessment

Operations

Data

RDW, Licences/permits, GBA, National Parking Register

Technical design

A camera scans license plates. The algorithm combines data from the RDW/ licenses, GBA and National Parking Register based on predefined rules (parameters) to determine whether there is wrong parking. The ownership of the algorithm rests with the suppliers. The municipality purchases services and has no direct involvement in or substantive knowledge of how the algorithms work.

  • Control with a scanning car

    Municipality of Zaanstad

    Short description With the scan car, the municipality carries out parking checks. The scan car uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras, identifies license plates and checks parking entitlements. The license plates without parking rights are transferred to the enforcement system for the purpose of collecting the parking tax due.

    To carry out parking controls, the municipality uses scan cars. The cameras on the scan car use an image recognition algorithm to 1) recognise license plates and 2) check in the parking rights database whether the vehicle is allowed to park there.
