At Drive For Zero, we are committed to enhancing road safety, reducing traffic-related accidents, and promoting sustainable urban mobility. Our innovative solutions leverage cutting-edge technology to address key challenges faced by cities, municipalities, and private organizations. Here’s a look at the five key solutions that drive our business model and make our roads safer for everyone.
1. Speed Section Control: Promoting Safe Driving Across Road Sections
Our Speed Section Control solution encourages safer driving by monitoring a vehicle’s average speed over a defined road section. This innovative technology helps reduce speeding behaviour, leading to fewer accidents and improved traffic flow. Using the QCAM5 ANPR camera and Macq’s Mobility Manager (M³), we can offer real-time monitoring and enforcement. This system ensures that drivers maintain consistent speeds over longer distances, creating a safer environment for all road users.
2. Restricted Traffic Zone (RTZ): Enhancing Urban Mobility and Safety
Drive For Zero’s Restricted Traffic Zone (RTZ) solution helps cities manage vehicle access in high-density urban areas. By controlling vehicle entry based on factors like priority vehicles, time of day, or special events, RTZ improves safety and reduces congestion. It ensures smooth access for essential services like emergency vehicles while restricting access for others, contributing to cleaner air and quieter, pedestrian-friendly city centres.
3. Rat Running Prevention: Safeguarding Residential Areas
Rat running, or illegal shortcuts through residential areas, can create dangerous driving conditions. Our solution uses ANPR cameras to detect and monitor vehicles taking these unauthorized routes. By preventing rat running, we reduce traffic, noise, and accidents in residential areas, making neighbourhoods safer for pedestrians and families. Cities can create custom enforcement scenarios to target specific behaviours and improve the quality of life for residents.
4. Low Emission Zones (LEZ): Ensuring Clean Air for Healthier Cities
Drive For Zero’s Low Emission Zones (LEZ) solution is designed to monitor vehicle compliance with local environmental standards. Using the QCAM5 ANPR camera, we help cities enforce restrictions that only allow environmentally friendly vehicles to enter designated areas. By reducing emissions and improving air quality, LEZ solutions contribute to healthier urban environments and support sustainability efforts. Integrated with Macq’s Mobility Manager (M³), LEZ ensures ongoing enforcement, creating cleaner cities for residents and visitors alike.
5. Safe to School: Protecting Children on Their Daily Journeys
Safety around schools is crucial, and our Safe to School solution is designed to protect children from road risks. By controlling speed limits, monitoring restricted areas, and providing real-time alerts to drivers, we reduce the likelihood of accidents near schools. With ANPR cameras and advanced data management, we ensure that school zones are safe for children, while also raising awareness about pedestrian safety among drivers.
The Drive For Zero business model is driven by technology that prioritizes road safety, urban mobility, and sustainability. Our five key solutions are helping create smarter, safer, and greener cities worldwide. By offering these solutions, we are supporting cities in their quest for safer roads, reduced congestion, and improved quality of life for their citizens.
