TLEX technology reduces nuisance in Scheveningen

The enforcement organisation of The Hague has its hands full with reducing the nuisance on and around the boulevard of Scheveningen.

In one month, the hotline receives about a thousand reports about parking problems, traffic violations, noise nuisance, and other undesirable behaviour resulting from drug use, especially nitrous oxide.

Tackling nuisance narcotics in Scheveningen

In addition to deploying more enforcers, stricter parking policies, and a unique app with which residents can report nuisance, the municipality will also start a project to develop visual detection of undesirable behaviour further. In the project ‘Tackling nuisance narcotics in Scheveningen’, a smart AI-camera system from Avutec linked to the TLEX platform from Monotch is used to detect overstay parking and other nuisance and to pass on reports to the enforcement organisation. The data collected provides the municipality with real-time insights into where there is a nuisance. This allows the city to act in a more targeted manner.

Smart technology reports nuisance

Residents and entrepreneurs of Scheveningen are experiencing increasing nuisance from visitors. Therefore, the municipality has drawn up an action plan together with residents and entrepreneurs from the district. This plan contains many measures to tackle the nuisance. This concern measures against, for example, parking nuisance, noise nuisance, street races, alcohol, nitrous oxide and drug use and litter. To reduce the problem and to be able to enforce it in a more targeted way, the municipality uses smart cameras and data exchange technology.

AI camera linked to TLEX

The project ‘Tackling nuisance narcotics in Scheveningen’ tests a smart AI camera system from Avutec. Based on artificial intelligence, this visual, intelligent sensor system links to Monotch’s TLEX platform. The collected data about undesirable behaviour goes straight to the enforcement organisation of Scheveningen.

Among other things, the cameras will check for ‘overstay’ in parking zones of a maximum of 2 hours, whether vehicles (without permits) are present in a particular area for more than 2 hours. In addition, they detect and report nuisance behaviour on the boulevard of Scheveningen. Think of noise pollution, vandalism, fights, leaving waste etc. Monotch’s TLEX platform forms the central technology connected to the cameras. The Scheveningen enforcement organisation receives real-time and location-oriented notifications from this data hub when it detects parking violations or undesirable behaviour.

Contributing to faster and more targeted intervention

The sensor technology and the notifications via the Monotch platform are being implemented. The project tests:

  • the reliability of the technology behind the visual detection of undesirable behaviour,
  • whether the messages come through correctly
  • and whether the enforcement organisation has been able to take targeted action based on smart technology.

The parties will conduct further research into whether using the AI camera data-hub link more widely is possible. The Municipality of The Hague is hopeful that the data will contribute to a faster and more targeted intervention in the event of a nuisance.
