What is the object of the project?
The object of the project is the provision of software development services and the use of related subscription services for the design, construction and operational support of the Integrated National System of Digital Recording & Management of Controls & Traffic Fines of the Hellenic Police. The project also includes the preparation of an implementation study, the installation of the system in hosting infrastructures, pilot operation, training and the guarantee of good operation of the system for one year.
The project consists of two sections:
Section 1: Design, Development & Support for the Operation of an Integrated Information System for Digital Recording & Management of Controls & Traffic Fines – Hellenic Police
Section 2: Procurement of software and support services for the interoperability of the Integrated System for Digital Recording & Management of Controls & Traffic Fines with the existing optical sensors (cameras) for traffic offences control installed throughout the country
The Integrated System for Digital Recording & Management of Controls & Fines of the Traffic Police/Hellenic Police will be the central system for recording and managing the checks and fines carried out by the Traffic Police/Hellenic Police throughout the country. It will interoperate with existing and future optical sensors (cameras) to control and prevent traffic offences, process and analyse the data from the sensor-cameras, and fully digitise the control and penalty (fine) issuing process in the field. In addition, it will interoperate with existing information systems of the Public Sector (e.g. Vehicle Register, Citizen’s Register, etc.) for the automated and real-time retrieval of data concerning the controlled vehicle, will allow the digital submission of objections and the electronic payment of fines issued. Finally, specific programming interoperability interfaces will inform in real time third party systems of the wider public sector (e.g. local authorities) about data related to areas of their competence (e.g. proportionate revenues from fines).
What is the purpose of the project?
The feasibility of the specific project for the design and construction of a integrated information system for the digital recording and management of controls and fines of the Traffic Police/Hellenic Police is focused on the need, on the one hand, to digitise procedures that are currently carried out “analogously” (e.g. issuing a handwritten fine) and, on the other hand, the need for centralised management of heterogeneous data necessary for strategy formulation and initiatives to improve road safety conditions. At the same time, it is expected to significantly reduce bureaucracy and serve citizens faster.
What are the expected benefits of the project?
The project has multidimensional benefits. The most important ones are:
- Efficiency & Transparency
The system will allow automated recording of offences and fines with electronic devices and sensors/cameras, reducing the scope for human error. Transparency will be enhanced through direct access to data by the relevant bodies. - Improving Operational Management
By bringing all data together in a centralised system, it will allow for better coordination between services, monitoring of performance and the extraction of statistics to assess the effectiveness of controls. - Economic Benefits
Automating the process of recording and collecting fines reduces administrative costs. At the same time, the timely collection of fines helps to increase revenues. - Citizen Service
Citizens will be able to be informed immediately about their offences and fines, while the possibility of online payment will save time and facilitate their compliance. They can also easily raise objections with online objections. - Strategic Planning & Prevention
The data collected can be used to map high risk areas, allowing targeted actions to prevent and improve road safety. - Compatibility with European Standards
The designed system incorporates international best practices and can be interconnected with European databases, enhancing cooperation on traffic and road safety issues. Upgrade the computing infrastructure used by its staff regardless of the place and location of their work.
