  6. CIVITAS RENAISSANCE MEASURE 3.4 The monitoring of HGV movements using Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras Baseline study of freight and delivery movements undertaken 2009/10 Heavy Goods vehicles found to be breaching environmental weight restrictions in Bath ANPR cameras and a vehicle actuated sign installed on a east west route with a 7.5 tonne weight restriction in May 2011. Trial ran for 13 months June 2012. CIVITAS Forum l 24-26 September 2012 l Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain

  12. Key Results • ANPR technology was used successfully to identify heavy vehicles on a weight restricted road in Bath. • HGV traffic in the demonstration area significantly reduced from an average of 262 HGV movements per day; to an average of 150 per day. A reduction of 112 vehicles (42.7%) • A daily reduction of 2,185g of NO2 in the demonstration area. • Although HGV traffic using the Upper Bristol Road is significantly reduced the overall HGV traffic movement into central Bath is little changed. This would suggest that instead of using the weight restricted route HGVs are diverting to more appropriate, unrestricted routes into the city centre.

  13. Complementary Measures Urban Freight Consolidation Centre introduced to serve Bath UFCC reduce the number of large delivery vehicles entering the city centre by providing a facility on the edge of the city where goods are consolidated for dispatch into the city in a smaller, electric delivery vehicle Demonstration project operated from January 2011 to June 2012. Consolidation operation to continue after CIVITAS Significant reduction in journeys to businesses in the scheme (76%) CIVITAS Forum l 24-26 September 2012 l Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain
