Aberdeen City Council: GEN6 ANPR Parking Enforcement Deployment
Project at a Glance
Aberdeen City Council required a modern enforcement solution to reduce dangerous and inconsiderate parking across busy city streets. As part of a £1.3 million parking overhaul, the council selected TES GEN6 ANPR vehicles to strengthen compliance and support wardens with accurate, real-time detection.
The Challenge
Aberdeen faced increasing issues with illegal parking across the city, including vehicles stopping on double yellow lines, obstructing loading bays, and ignoring restricted zones. These behaviours created safety risks, congestion, and frustration for residents and businesses.
The council needed an enforcement solution that could:
- Detect parking contraventions quickly and accurately.
- Reduce manual workload for wardens.
- Improve compliance without increasing physical presence everywhere.
- Integrate into a wider citywide parking improvement strategy.
The TES solution
TES supplied two GEN6 ANPR enforcement vehicles, equipped with advanced camera systems and real-time detection capabilities. The solution allows Aberdeen's parking team to monitor large areas efficiently, capturing reliable evidence for contraventions such as:
- Double yellow line contraventions.
- Misused loading areas.
- Unauthorised parking in controlled zones.
- Vehicles not complying with cashless or pay-and-display rules.
The GEN6 vehicles feed detections into TES’s cloud platform and existing back-office processes, supporting streamlined case handling and faster enforcement across the city.
The Results
Since deployment, the GEN6 vehicles have strengthened Aberdeen’s enforcement capability, helping the council address dangerous parking and improve overall compliance. The technology supports wardens on the ground, allowing the city to manage priority areas more efficiently while ensuring drivers follow established rules.
Community safety and city warden management highlighted that “compliance is key”, and the TES systems form a crucial part of maintaining safer, better-managed streets.
Key Outcomes:
- Supports safer, better managed streets across Aberdeen.
- Improves compliance with parking regulations city-wide.
- Reduces dangerous parking behaviours in problem areas.
- Streamlines enforcement operations for wardens and back-office teams.
- Enhances evidence quality for reliable enforcement decisions.
Client Impact
Aberdeen City Council now benefits from a modern, vehicle-based enforcement system that strengthens compliance, improves safety, and supports the city’s long-term parking strategy.
