Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
11 Executive SummaryExecutive SummaryThe Witzenburg Municipality requires cameras and services to upgrade its traffic
enforcement capabilities. This proposal is in response to this tender request and serves as a
document to outline the offering being presented to the municipality. This proposal is being
submitted by Brainwave Projects with additional products and services being provided by i-
Cube, Biamic ICT Solutions (Pty) Ltd and Average Speed Determination (Pty) Ltd.
Brainwave Projects is a local company that is committed to the local community. Amongst
the contributing parties lies a wealth of experience in the camera technology, infrastructure
provisioning and operational management, project management and fines processing. In
addition to meeting the requirements of the tender, it is also the intention to outline a few
additional services that may be of interest to the municipality. The primary one of these is the
provisioning of average speed determination (ASD) services to calculate speed over distance
to be able to deal with people who speed through the town and surrounding areas and not
merely at the fixed camera position. This is outlined, but further information will be supplied if
requested.
Standard practice is to capture images and then manually process the fines from the
photographic evidence that is collected. Constraints in this process make it in efficient as well
as creating errors in data capture, etc resulting in significant administration costs. These
costs are often ignored when it comes to assessing the effectiveness of systems. The
development of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) or Licence Plate Recognition
(LPR) technologies has made it possible to process information at the time of the offence
and then either use the information in a batch mode or deal with the violation at the time and
then to process each transaction individually.
This then allows the system to be able to compare the identified vehicle against known
databases either real-time or in batch mode. Real-time allows the opportunity of processing
data during a road-block or else to possibly alert people to the fact that they are speeding
and that they run the risk of getting fined.
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 7 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
Statistically, in the order of 95% of road traffic accidents happen as a direct result of one or
more traffic offences. The cost of crashes in 2005 was in the region of R40 billion. There are
around 38 deaths in SA roads every day. Currently 17% of drivers exceed the speed limit,
with a target rate of 5%. Where speed cameras have been introduced, speed offences
dropped to around 2-3%.
ANPR is unique in its ability to impact positively in an intelligence led and proactive basis on
the municipality to be able to manage driver behaviour to be more in line with what the law
defines. Additionally, stolen or wanted vehicles could be identified and personnel alerted to
that fact. Information is useful when made available at the right time.
The advantages of digital image processing not only enables faster processing of images
and offence details but is also less labour intensive. The vehicle particulars can be verified by
displaying the data retrieved from the Vehicle Title System and the image concurrently on the
workstation screen, resulting in a more reliable method. The offence images are
electronically available for ease of audit, public enquiries at the office of the department or on
the Internet. In addition to the drastic reduction in the operating cost, a quantification of the
cost advantage of a quicker turnaround from date of the offence to the mailing of the
infringement notice and the removal of the opportunity for fraud makes it the preferred
method of processing.
The video equipment proposed for the road blocks will allow the identification of unsafe
overtaking and other moving offences. Unsafe overtaking/barrier line offences lead to 17% of
the deaths on SA roads. Road blocks increase compliance in areas of driver and vehicle
legality, vehicle condition (especially tyres) and public transport permits and registrations.
Brainwave Projects offers to charge a fixed price per paid violation as stated below in terms
of traffic fines that has been processed of R108.11 (one hundred and eight Rand and eleven
cents) Excluding VAT.
A disc is included with extensive presentations, additional information, product details to be
utilised, including the LPR software.

22 Description of RequirementDescription of Requirement
“Proposals are requested from reputable and experienced camera suppliers for the provision
of cameras, equipment and operational services for digital speed law enforcement. It is
expected from the camera supplier to provide back office services, but the camera suppliers
must compatible with the existing Traffic Contravention System (TCS)”
2.1 BackgroundIt is apparent that the Witzenburg Municipality has been utilizing camera technology for the
recording of instantaneous speed assessment at fixed points in the district. This has had
moderate success, but as with all fixed camera positions, it very quickly changes driver
behaviour for the few hundred metres around the camera and that is all. Once word gets
around, violations drop off very quickly.
Updated technology is sought including mobile technology that would enable recording
violation events around the area and not limited to fixed locations. A more effective
collections service is also required.
2.2 Scope The selected supplier will be responsible for the provision of traffic violation recording
technology to the Witzenburg Municipality. The supplier will be responsible for the provision
of the technology, the installation, the training of Witzenburg Municipality personnel in the
use of the technology, as well as back office services for processing the fines and tracking
offenders that have not paid the fines in the predetermined timeframe.
The technology includes SABS compliant Colour Camera equipment with night time or low-
light capabilities for capturing images of traffic violations that would enable prosecution of the
said offences in a South African Court of Law. Both fixed location and mobile camera
technology is requested. The service and operational maintenance will be included. This
contract will be in place for 36 (thirty-six) months.
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 10 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
Furthermore a tracking and tracing system shall be provide to allow the implementation of

Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 12 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
33 Issues for ConsiderationIssues for ConsiderationIssues for consideration with the technology in question include the following:
How can driver behaviour be changed to make them more compliant with the law?
Is it possible to identify more offenders and increase revenues?
Is it possible to increase the payment or collection percentage of offending drivers?
Is it possible to make the roads any safer by controlling speed more?
Is it possible to extend the coverage to areas beyond the physical locations of the
cameras?
Speed cameras have the ability to change driver behaviour, but only if the driver is quickly
informed of the violation and also providing minimal opportunity to avoid paying the
outstanding fines. The ability to increase the percentage of fines which are paid plays a large
role in changing driver behaviour. License Plate Recognition allows those vehicles where the
drivers does not have an address or the fine is not paid to be selectively identified and further
action taken to begin the fine recover process. The ability to install permanent license plate
recognition systems on main roads which would be linked to display boards, informing
drivers of outstanding traffic fines, is now possible. Two or more of these always on, real time
LPR sites could be linked together, allowing average speed determination between these
points.
Awaiting the introduction of the Administrative of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act, No 48
of 1998, it is envisaged that driver and vehicle offences will be monitored and controlled in
terms of the National Road Traffic Act, No 93 of 1996 and specifically those offences
provided for under Schedule 3 of the Criminal Procedure Act, No 51 of 1977, as amended by
Act 56 of 1979. These offences, for which section 341 notices can be issued, are:
Driving a vehicle at a speed exceeding a prescribed limit;
Driving a vehicle which does not bear prescribed lights;
Leaving or stopping a vehicle at a place where it may not be left or stopped, or
leaving a vehicle in a condition in which it may not be left;
Driving a vehicle at a place and a time where it may not be driven;
Driving a vehicle which is defective or any part whereof is not properly adjusted, or
causing any undue noise by means of a motor vehicle;
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 13 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
Owing or driving a vehicle for which no valid licence is held; and
Driving a motor vehicle without holding a licence to drive it.
The above provisions will cover most of the traffic offences that are required to be controlled
for the purpose of this project.
The main advantage of using this section of the Criminal Procedures Act is that, although
drivers will be stopped, notices may be posted afterwards and not required to be printed and
handed to the driver at the roadside. His will eliminate the need for providing traffic officials
with portable printers under certain circumstances. However, the project will be developed
with the main view to be operated in terms of the AARTO Act. Only if AARTO is not ready by
the time of implementation will the Criminal Procedures Act route be followed.

44 Solution ProposedSolution ProposedThe purpose of this proposal is to introduce Brainwave Projects to the Witzenberg
Municipality for the provision of a Total Solution for the Administration of Traffic Violations in
an efficient and timely manner to ensure that the violations are processed from the click of
the camera to final payment.
The objective of this proposal is to efficiently process speed violations by:-
• Reducing the number of violations being cancelled due to camera setup,
maintenance and image quality.
• Nullify the number of violations being cancelled due to 1st notices being printed after
the 30 day required period. The system forces the operators to adhere to time scales
as pre set in the software. Warnings will appear to inform operators.
• Promoting awareness of payment of violations by using the Call Centre, Fax, E-Mail
or SMS.
• Introducing technology to support the law enforcement processes;
• Empowering the local authorities by introducing equipment and software process to
enforce the law process.
• Efficiently collect monies outstanding with regards to traffic violations by
- Administrating the summonses in a fast and cost efficient manner;
- Serving the summonses correctly and in due time;
- Efficiently finalizing warrants of arrest.
4.1 Solution Components
4.1.1 Camera equipment
4.1.1.1 Permanent Cameras – RedSpeed (RS)
(See Section Error: Reference source not found on page Error: Reference source notfound)
These cameras are designed to operate in most conditions and have the capability to deal
with both speed and “red-light” violations. Some of the specifications are listed below:
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 15 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
• Red light violation and speed detection coupled with digital camera technology.
• The RS unit can cover up to 4 lanes.

fast data transfer over many types of mediums.
This will also keep the costs down should one use
GSM or PSTN / ISDN / ADSL / LAN or 3G.
• The video cameras used run at 25 frames per
second (where many of your other cameras are 4
frames per second at best).
• Camera system uses a minimum of 40 Gbyte
internal hard drive.
• The RS camera system exceeds the SABS
requirement encryption on outstation and in-
station.
• The RS system can use the existing piezo
sensors and pole foot mounting.

reflector is long and the parabola manufactured to exact tolerances for the exact
emitted light at each photographic points. Gone are the days where a round single
tube flash is used for effective night time photography and the need for additional side
flashes. The Flash unit can be switched off during day conditions and it will
automatically switch on if the light falls below a preset level.
• The video cameras can be remotely moved/adjusted/setup to ensure optimal picture
quality. Gone are the days when the camera lens is hand adjusted, taking the unit in
and out of the housing.
• The RS system has a log file that enables the logging of each event, such as:-
- door open
- power failure
- system setup
- tamper status
- And more.
• Each violation has a temperature stamp. This shows that the temperature on each
violation is within the SABS temperature specifications.
• The RS system has a third verification speed process.

• Calibration is performed by the local SA agent on site who is SANS accredited for
Speed and measurement.
• Over 180 MDC unites in use in South Africa.
4.1.2 Backroom Services
The backroom services is defined as the process starting from the point of receiving the
violations from the camera system to the point of posting the violation to the offender, issuing
the summonses to the servers for serving, preparing the court roles and registers as well as
to assist in road blocks for executing warrant of arrest by supplying the necessary
documentation and information to the executer.
We use mainly two software packages to execute backroom services successfully. The
Twenty21 Editor used to capture vehicle details, offence details and to do a first order
validation, and the Twenty21 Viewer used by council or traffic to do a second order of
verification, display the captured violations, export the data into the Traffic Management
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 20 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
System (ETMS), thus eliminating the need to capture it manually into the Contravention
System, and export the violations onto a web server for internet viewing.
Once the record incorporating the Vehicle Title System data has been created on the data
base, the number plate and vehicle particulars returned from the Vehicle Title System are
verified against the image of the offence displayed on the screen of the workstation. If the
OCR process results in an incorrect registration number or if no number can be established
for the initial online Vehicle Title System query, only those numbers are corrected for an
update in real tme from the Vehicle Title System (if necessary). At the same time the staff
member identifies additional offences from the image displayed on the screen and adds the
associated offence codes for notices to be generated. Typical additional offences include
seat belt, cellular phone offences (if applicable).
If the police officer designated for this function is satisfied that the vehicle particulars
retrieved from the Vehicle Title System relate to that visible on the image (using the available
tools to view both the standard and wide angled image or zooming in to confirm the license
plate details) and that the possible use of false license number plates has not results in the
wrong data being retrieved from the Vehicle Title System, the office would simply click on the
button “Accept Notice”. This will initiate the compilation of the file for the transfer of the data
relating to the offence to the enforcement system for printing of the notices.
The printing process uses a standard laser printer which prints in duplex, i.e. the front and
the back of the notice is printed simultaneously. An example of the front and back of the A4
sized infringement notice printed is shown in the images below. Note that a colour image of
the offence can be printed on the notice by simply using a colour laser printer instead of the
black and white one.
From the laser printer, the printed notice is fed into a sealer, which folds the A4 sheet in a Z
configuration (as depicted in the process below) and heat seals the pre-applied glue on the
edges of the notice, leaving the “TO” address on the front of the sealed “envelope” and the
“Return address” on the back thereof.

It should be noted that provision is made on the back of the notice for the owner of the
vehicle to identify the driver of the vehicle at the time of the offence, should the owner not
have been driving the vehicle. In such case, the initial notice is withdrawn and a second
notice is issued to the person identified as driving by the owner.

Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
The cameras can be mounted on different parts of the vehicle, either to scan tags on
vehicles ahead or pointing straight out to scan tags of parked cars. For road blocks one could
even angle the lenses to scan cars alongside a road.
Using infrared light, the cameras work day or night — even in the rain — and automatically
snap photos of passing license plates up to 50 meters away, even on vehicles moving at 200
KM/H. A computer in the boot then converts the picture into number and letters, using
character-recognition software. It instantly
checks the plate number against a database of the outstanding fines or warrants or even the
120,000 stolen vehicles a year. A visual and audio alarm sounds when a match is made — it
takes milliseconds — but a traffic official will always verify the accuracy of the match before
making a traffic stop.
The alarm list is stored on the central computer and replicated on each of the field
computers.

Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
The image below illustrates the data being sent to a network, local and remote database.
The ANPR Software, and its user-friendly graphic user interface, has been specially written
to ensure ease of use by the operator whilst maintaining the ability to access vast areas of
information and database historical information by quick and easy selection of big button
touch screen icons. When an entry is stored to the database, an image of the plate from the
recognition camera is stored with the recognition. In addition, an image from another camera
(typically a colour wide-field image) can also be stored to show the vehicle in the context of
its surroundings.
These are some of the images which could be captured
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 28 Printed 5/9/2023

4.1.3 Collection Service
4.1.3.1 Administrating and serving of traffic summonses
Brainwave Projects will print the summonses; these will be stamped and signed by the Clerk
of the Court. They will be sorted, stapled and stamped and it will be loaded onto the
computer system. This Collect software will then assign the summonses to companies for
serving. An audit trail is then formed for each document and offender. The summonses will
then be served on the accused and the served copies will then be returned to Brainwave
Projects after which the result will again be loaded onto the system.
4.1.3.2 Issuing and serving of traffic warrants
Should the accused fail to pay/and or appear in court, a warrant of arrest will have to be
generated by the computer system of the traffic department. After fourteen days from the
court date, the warrant has to be signed and authorized by a magistrate and an additional
amount (contempt of court) will be added by the council. The Call Centre will then contact the
accused and then receive a final warning by us to either pay or be arrested.

4.1.3.3 Tracing system
Many motorists do not have an actual address filed on eNaTiS, we have to then institute a
system so we can find his/her work or home address – Track and Trace. The summons will
be reprinted and issued on the vehicle owner. This office has the ability and means to trace
people who have moved, increasing the summonses served and money collected.
The above is supported with online scanning of the barcode on a vehicle or drivers license at
roadblocks. This initiates an online query to both the eNaTIS and local databases to retrieve
the current information and status of contraventions in respect of the vehicle and driver.
4.1.3.4 Call Centre
The Call Centre will be used to telephonically contact people after the summons has been
delivered. Once the warrant is due to be issued the Call Centre will be used to contact the
people to inform them that should they not pay the outstanding money by a certain date (to
be decided on by the Traffic Chief) the warrant will be executed.

THE MECHANISM
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
4.1.4 Additional technology
4.1.4.1 Computer system
A network computer system will be able to keep track with the individual offences and
payment system. These computers will be used to capture all the violations and status
thereof. It is strongly suggested that this computer be linked up with the system of the council
and traffic management system, thus ensuring that we can, on a daily basis monitor the
status of all violations.
4.1.4.2 Software for Image processing (Digital cameras)
Software supplied by the digital camera suppliers to view and process the violation images.
The encryption used to protect the integrity of the violation is state of the art and SABS
approved for the digital stored images. These digitally saved violation images will greatly
improve the time taken to administer the violations for printing and posting.
4.1.4.3 Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR)
This ANPR (or LPR) system can be used at road blocks in conjunction with The Traffic
Police. The use of automatic/manual mobile/stationary license plate recognition is a system
that has many advantaged for Law Enforcement agencies, these include:-
• Checking passing motorists/vehicles for outstanding fines and warrants;
• Stolen vehicles identification;
• Expired license
• etc.
4.1.4.4 System stability
The See Traffic systems are based on proven applications that are running in many
installations worldwide - in hundreds of lanes and many diversified applications. The newly
developed systems share most of the common modules in these systems (such as the
recognition DLL), and are tested in various types of tools and methods that are used by HTS
development for years. Thus, their stability is guaranteed by the experience in such systems,
the development and test methodologies, and in the proven components that build these
systems,
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 35 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
Nevertheless, additional mechanisms are used to ensure the stability of the systems. These
are part of HTS utilities, which ensure that if the systems will fail, they will be reactivated and
also report their failure to external monitor systems. These utilities include:
SeeService – a watchdog utility that periodically checks the aliveness of the
application. In case the application does not respond, the application will attempt to
rerun the application. If this fails, the utility resets the PC. In any such case the event
is written to the Windows event log.
SeeMonitor - this tool resides on a central server, and monitors the state of each
system – by checking the Windows event log. It will alert external systems in case of
a fatal error. It can also show soft errors (warnings) status, and display a set of
graphs of past recognition results, which is a very important diagnostic tool.
SeeCleaner –This utility cleans the old images directories after a specified time has
elapsed, and also cleans local diagnostics files. Thus, the system will not grow
endlessly in size, a common source of problem in other Windows based systems
(which will not happen here).
4.1.4.5 Twenty21 Editor
This program allows the client to process camera violations from their format to clients
preferred format. This software was a range of features that make for high speed capture
and conforms to the latest TCSP guidelines. Tracking, auditing, editing and other features
make this software unique in the market place.

4.1.4.6 Twenty21 Viewer
This Traffic Management system is aimed at traffic authorities that want high speed, multi
tasking software able to meet the demands of this new emerging market. The idea behind
this is to get away from the existing static systems. The unique auditing system which allows
monitoring of staff work performance and time management have revolutionised the way we
look at BRS. The reporting structures per site per type of selected codes enable
management to optimise the camera settings. Gone are the days where the traffic authorities
were forced to use software where the authorities had to adapt – AKP can adapt to your
needs. Low cost, therefore saving you large amounts of hard earned revenue that can be
better used in enforcement and saving lives.

4.1.4.8 Audit Process
We have developed this ETMS system with full AUDIT PROCESS facilities to enable the
management full control over the system. The system will allow you to track any irregularities
you require to make the system safe and secure. Our secret to success is that you can set
up the parameters to be audited and we will institute the process.
Standard Audit trails
• log on via finger print
• system idle log
• system idle log off
• any change to document to be logged
• drop down menu warning or prompt
• eNaTIS cross check and change log and much more
4.1.5 Transaction Capacity Parameters
4.1.5.1 Number of offences that can be handled during peak periods;
• The data capture (Twenty21editor) software has been designed to allow multiple
users (via Thin Client) to capture as fast as the Data Capture clerk is able to work.
Our Data capturers presently capture 200 to 600 violations per hour per clerk.
• The offence viewer (Twenty21Viewer) software is designed to be operated (via Thin
Client or stand-alone workstation) to be added to as per customer needs.
• The permanent camera systems have no limit on the number of violations captured in
peak periods due to the fact that this system is PC based and all violations are
captured and then processed to hard drive in a post processing mode – it can handle
up to 10 simultaneous violations in the buffer, thus it sums to about 5 violations per
second.
• The portable camera system will capture all the vehicles (within reasonable cross hair
position) the operator triggers or sets up in automatic mode.
4.1.5.2 Response times for inquiries;
We have the policy to respond to public enquiries immediately on a daily basis. We believe
the better the service to the offender – the better the payment rate.
- fax enquiries next business day response;
- telephonic enquiries next business day response;
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 43 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
- internet enquiries next business day response;
- walk in enquiries – to be done at traffic department
- Walk in Payment – to be done at traffic department
4.1.5.3 Length of time required for running updates and batches;
The BRS software uses MySQL as database backbone. It is a multi tasking system and
batch process is handled in the background. Thus the user is able to use the system while
batch processes are running. The average throughput is dependent on the hardware you use
i.e. pc and network. The average could be anything from 500 to 2000 records per second.
4.1.5.4 Period of running reports;
Depending on the amount of data to be collected From Viewer, a typical report is the number
of violations per month, the from-date, to-date and amount of sites to include reports can
take anything from 1 to 10 minutes. Reports can be run at same time as other functions –
ETMS is a multi tasking system. The reports can run while the system is printing notices and
at the same time the Call Centre can be running etc. We can adapt the reports to your needs
should the need arise.
4.1.5.5 Length of time required for back-ups;
Back-ups are carried out automatically after-hours by means of schedules tasks and usually
takes between 1 and 10 minutes.
4.1.5.6 Capacity to run off-line;
The Twenty21 System runs independently from the Traffic Management System thus the
ability to process and view violations is dependent on the following factor:
Is the Twenty21 database located on a central server to which connection has
been lost or is database stored on local machine, thus each pc has its own
database.
- Advantage of local database – viewing and processing is not dependent on
network
- Disadvantage of local database – if info in corrected on a violation, only the
user that changed it has the change on his/her system unless each user is
notified manually.
The system is configurable to suit the customer’s needs and preferences.

55 Additional considerations for future deploymentAdditional considerations for future deployment
5.1 Average Speed DeterminationA new system is now available that measures average speed between two locations based
on a pair of LPR units, and issues a speeding ticket if a violation has occurred. The LPR
cameras are installed at existing sites or on bridges above traffic lanes in sites that are
located several kilometres apart. Each unit automatically captures the images, recognizes
the plate, and reports the passing vehicles license plate. The recognition data is reported by
messages through TCP/IP network to a Central Computer (using SeeData). In the Central
computer a special Client application (SeeCarSpeed) matches the pairs and calculates the
average speed by the time that passed travelling between the points.
Figure 5-36 TAXI caught speeding by the use of use of Average Speed Determination
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 51 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
Speeding vehicles that pass a threshold are listed, together with a pair of images of each
point and additional information. The violation can also be printed showing the violation
details and pictures. This can be done in a batch mode as well as real-time.
5.1.1 Transaction Management
The concept of transaction management is one that based on a principle of each vehicle
passing a camera and being assessed, as a transaction. The transaction identifies the date,
time, location, camera/lane, license plate number, instantaneous speed, associated image
identifier, (and any other information that is assessed). The identification of the same vehicle
at the next location is a secondary transaction and the relevant time relationship between
these two transactions is assessed and determines whether or not an “average speed”
violation has or has not occurred. Each of these transactions is sent through to the ASD
service centre and is then matched against any of the registered lists in the database. The
violation or the matching of the vehicle to a list will result in the relevant entity being informed
of the event through email with a secure link to the image for copying and processing of the
necessary action, viz. fine or alerting, etc.
5.1.2 ASD SERVICES
The entity responsible for the processing of the transactions in as close to real-time as the
networks will allow. The transaction, with the data that uniquely identifies the vehicle and
location will be passed through the broad based network in http format to the ASD service
that will record the transaction. The vehicle information will then be checked against the
exception lists received from entities such as SAPS, eNATIS, etc. If a match is identified, the
listed entity provider will be notified of the identification through and email with a link to the
image on the PC on site. This gives the exception entity an opportunity to validate data
captured and confirm that this is a valid transaction and will then trigger the necessary action
relevant to the event.
The system will then wait for the vehicle to be next identified and will ascertain whether or not
the vehicle has violated any speed transgressions, exceeding max or min speed limits. Once
these have been identified the relevant entity will be notified via an email with a reference to
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 52 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
the image for the entity to validate and then process the necessary fine. This can be done
through ASD, but it is assumed that the current incumbent would still be used for this.
ASD will also assume responsibility for the secure obtaining of the lists from the various
entities and will respond appropriately depending on the requirements of the reference entity.
5.1.3 Registered Reference Entity
This refers to the entity that provides information against which the identification of the
vehicle must be checked. In this instance it will be the provision of vehicles registered to
travel in the lane. If vehicles are identified that do not comply with the list then the ETA will be
informed of the instance via email and would then have the opportunity to deal with the event
as they see fit.
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 53 Printed 5/9/2023
Figure 5-37 ASD architectural layout showing transaction flow
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
SAPS, eNATIS, etc. could also be part of this category and would be handled in a similar
manner. Vehicles identified on their lists would typically be stolen or wanted vehicles and
would subsequently result in notification being sent to required destinations depending on
rules that may be specified.
5.1.4 Reporting
Realtime reporting is possible via a web interface that will provide a dashboard of information
that must be agreed and specified in consultation with the ETA. Standard reports can also be
extracted from the Database with a reasonable amount of flexibility. It would then be possible
to send the information on a traffic fine direct to a cell phone or allow searching of
outstanding traffic fines using a cell phone or web site. Payment of an outstanding fine via a
web site or cell phone is certainly possible.
5.1.5 Financial Model
The financial model for this is based on a per transaction fee and a pre-paid service is being
offered. The pricing model consists of a flat rate per month as well as a rate per transaction
for normal assessment as well as for violation processing.
5.1.6 Transaction fee
Two rates would apply, every transaction would be levied at a low rate of cents per
transaction and each violation would then be handled at a premium rate due to the increase
traffic as well as storage requirements.

66 Implementation ScheduleImplementation ScheduleThe substantial experience developed from installing systems locally in South Africa and
internationally will prove extremely beneficial during install of the proposed solution. Key to
the successful installation and faultless operation is the initial design, based on a complete
TCP/IP backbone, consisting of ADSL, wireless links and GSM connectivity. The connectivity
allows any camera to connect to any computer, ensuring maximum uptime. The ability to
obtain feedback from the equipment in the field in real time, allowing proactive response to
any issue ensures all challenges are resolved before they escalate.
A meeting will be arranged to discuss any modification to the system design, layout, identify
the positions of the fixed cameras or if any of the options presented will be selected. A
weekly meeting is requested for feedback on progress plus the ability to immediately identify
any issues which might arise. Should any issue need to be addressed, all role players can be
kept informed of the progress and decide on a suitable way forward. This is the ideal time for
the operational staff to get involvement, so they understand the solution from an operational
level. At each meeting additional reading material will be provided to the operational staff for
study and prepare.
The systems will be pre-built before being installed, with substantial tests to limit any on site
issues. This is the ideal time for the operational staff to get hands on involvement, so they
understand the solution from a board level. The first items to be installed consist of the loop
cutting (2M x 1M x 35 mm deep), pole mounting (4 bolts, 2 poles per site), rack (bolted to the
site, 1 per site) and cable conducting (metal) – attached every meter (5 M from the rack to
the camera – on both sides). Once these are in, the PC’s (2), cameras (4), UPS, air
conditioner, loop detectors (4), bandit alarm, terminal blocks, HUB, modem, mouse,
keyboard, monitor, switch and other items can be installed and connected. With three teams
each site will be installed and operational within 2 days.
Once the systems are installed, extensive tests begin. As these are all done from the control
room this is the ideal opportunity to continue the on the job training of the personal who will
operate the system. Each stage of the process will be extensively tested: from loop
detection, multiple image capture, OCR, transfer of the data (plate, lane, date, time, etc.),
Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 55 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
loading users and those plates where an alarm should be generated. Tests will be performed
using dedicated vehicles travelling at specific speeds to ensure the entire system is fully
operational, including the measured distance between sites.
The time critical nature of the project requires total commitment from a dedicated solution
provider who has substantial local experience in providing this solution.
A project charter document will be drafted with clear agreement of the deliverables at the
commencement of the project that will be signed to confirm the understanding of what is
included, excluded, concerns, risks, etc. This will allow for a structured approach to any
scope changes.
The progress review meetings will be minuted by the Project Manager. The meetings will be
chaired by the Project Manager and attendance to these meetings by the designated
Municipality representative is required. The project may be delayed, without penalty, if the
required parties are not in attendance.
A formal Change Control process will be included should any deviations be requested from
the original scope be necessary to provide opportunity for the impact on the project to be
identified, motivated and agreed. This approval will be provided by the Municipality, the
primary contractor and the Project Manager in a formalized signed change Request Form
that will be supplied at the commencement of the project.

This system is installed in the gates of a South African University. It is used for gate control
and theft prevention. The license plate of the cars entering is recorded along with the driver
face. This data is compared to the information at the exit and the guard can see that the
person at the entrance to the University was different than the person driving the car out. The
system also provides statistics and data logging, as well as an on-line surveillance of the
gates.
After the installation of this system the number of thefts
decreased sharply. A sample actual record of an attempted theft
is shown in the following animation.
The SeeCarTrap system is based on SeeLane recognition
system and has special modifications for a roadside mobile system. This system is used for
catching cars in cases of warrant of arrest, unpaid fines or taxes and stolen cars. It deals with Brainwave Projects Confidential Page 83 Printed 5/9/2023
Witzenburg Municipality - Tender No: 8/2/5/18
a database of up to 0.5 million entries. The stand-alone real-time system automatically
recognizes the car plate number then searches a database. It sounds an alarm when a car
has been detected in the 'black' list, and displays the vehicle and arrest information
contained in the record. This revolutionary system simplifies the roadblock operation and
thus helps to increase selective enforcement.
The system is also connected to a large outdoor display that shows the car number, the car
type, the reason for arrest and the name of the driver. This display can be seen by the police
officer down the road. All the officer
needs to do is wait for the siren, then
stop the car and verify the arrest
details, as seen in the film clip below.
The system is portable and installed in
minutes by the police officer. It is
installed in a battery powered lunch-
box PC. It operates day and night on a
free-flowing traffic at average speeds
of 10-80 KMH. The system contains all
the elements of a recognition system:
hardware (frame grabber, optional IO
card, and a special camera/illumination unit optimized for this application) and software
(SeeRoad application and a client application). The application includes a special software
trigger option which reduces the need to place a detector on the road, making the system
portable and easy to install.
This system is installed in a traffic
police violations processing center in
Pretoria, South Africa (in conjunction
with Labat Traffic Solutions using the
Startrap Intelligence violation data
processing system). It is used to
automate the process of handling
the fine processing (a fast

turnaround from film to fine). The application reads both the license plate off the frame -
together with violation information.
A sample violation is shown in the following photo. The frame, read from the film, includes
the view of the car, the vehicle plate, and the violation information - which includes the date,
location and speed, and is attached in the upper-right corner.
The system performs both access-control, parking and traffic-flow management functions. It
provides solutions for a congested University entrance and enforces an overall traffic policy
in its gates and parking lots.
This system part of a toll road system in South Africa. The license plate is read and used as
a key to fetch the vehicle information from the toll database. The information is compared to
a swipe card which is used by the driver. This integrated system reduces fraud and increases
the toll income.
Figure 10-5210-53 Licence Plate Recognition in use to veryify concession cards at Toll plaza
The toll system is based on a multi-lane (SeeLane) system which reads and verifies the plate
data and sends a message to the toll control application. This application uses the
recognition information to obtain the vehicle data, which is matched to the swipe card
information. The results are displayed to the operator and also sent to the control room for
further processing of the frauds, and long-term data logging.
