New hardware and software
• 300 pcs PDAs
• 50 pcs new laser devices
• 500 pcs Dräger 6810
• and 160 pcs Dräger 7110 breathalysers
• Implementing a new electronic data processing system
(trafficPOINT) enacted by Transport and Economic Ministerial
Decree nr. 18 of 2008
Further plans
• 31 pcs automatic speed measuring devices on motorways,
• 200 pcs automatic speed measuring devices on other national roads

trafficPOINT (tP)
What is tP?
• Integrated data processing system on traffic infringements
• Development is made by Microsoft based on police
requriements after public tender
• Fully automated from the raw picture to the printed and
ready-to-post decision about the fine
• Five main modules
• Data receiving module
• Administrative module
• Integrated fiscal module
• Bailiff module
• Customer service module
• The system was presented in a workshop at the headquarters
of Microsoft in Seattle for Interpol members recently
14
trafficPOINT (tP)
Working procedure before tP
• Speed camera was taken to the local police station for
downloading data after duty
• Saved data and paperwork were sent to the county police HQ
for pre-processing where photos were evaluated one by one
manually and forwarded to the administrator
• Upon the data the administrator prepared the decision and
posted it to the owner of the car
• Manual data processing
• Lot of paperwork
• Waste of manpower (102 persons worked as pre-processing
staff and other 162 as administrators)
• It took 3-4 weeks from the recording of the offence to the
posting of the decision
• High risk of errors or misuse
15
trafficPOINT (tP)
Work with tP
• Speed camera transmits data on-line to the central server of
the Police
• Received data are transmitted to the administrative module by
the pre-processing system
• With ANPR the system identifies the owner’s address
• The recently amended legislation prescribes a fixed sum of
fine to be imposed automatically upon the recorded speed
• The administrator checks the data and comes to a decision
with minimal manual work
• The decision and the postal check for the fine is printed and
posted in a central back-office automatically
• Deadline for paying the fine is monitored and bailiff is taken
into action automatically
16
trafficPOINT (tP)
Work with tP
• Public web page for local municipality officers (notaries) to
conduct bailiff procedures
• Public and secured web page for clients
•
•
•
•
to get official notifications on the case
to file petitions
to take a look at the photo evidence of the offence
to pay the fine with credit card after authentication
• System is at work partially since spring of 2009
• Remaining files of the police file case management system
(RoboCop) are being uploaded to tP
• Full scale work began on 1st February 2010
17
trafficPOINT (tP)
Work with tP
• Data are processed by the Administrative Authority Service
at the Police County HQ of Vas County in the city of
Szombathely
• In case of appeal, the case is reconsidered by the Budapest
Police HQ
• After that decision there is no possibility for appeal, unless
there is an evidence of violation of law regarding the
measures taken by the police
• In that case an arbitrament is to be done by court
• Only 4 % of the procedures were annulled by court decision
18
trafficPOINT (tP)
Advantages of tP
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Numerous procedures can be conducted safely
Time of procedure is shortened to hours instead of weeks
No need for large manpower in the pre-processing phase
Minimal need of administrative work
Minimized use of paper
Less personnel and less paper means less cost
Minimized risk of human error or misuse
Secured and controlled data processing
Transparent and trustworthy procedure
Improving road safety situation

Summary
Road to success
• Strong political will and support from government
• Wide social demand on safer road traffic
• Significant amendment of the pertaining legislation in
2008 and 2009
• Extended enforcement activities
• Targeted technical development
• Active preventive measures
Conclusions
- The aims of the national road safety policy can be
exceeded by 30%
- More measures are needed to maintain the situation
- E.g. dealing with foreigners
