Technical requirements: The Mayor has committed to a Vision Zero approach to reducing road danger in London, as part of an ambition to rid London’s streets of death and serious injury by 2041. The Mayor and TfL have adopted a Safe System approach, which recognises that through delivering action across the themes of safe speeds, safe streets, safe vehicles and safe behaviours, road danger can be reduced.
The potential of speed alerting technology to prevent speeding and significantly reduce the risk of a fatal or serious collision has led TfL to look at ways to incorporate speed alerting technology across its commercial vehicle fleet.
TfL’s commercial fleet is approximately 900 vehicles, our aim is to eliminate/significantly reduce instances of speeding in the fleet. TfL’s commercial vehicle fleet is long-term leased and comprised mostly of small, medium or large vans or drop sides (~80%), and a small proportion of cars (~20%). Approximately 4 000 staff are authorised to drive these vehicles.
Vehicle Telematics have been progressively rolled out in the TfL fleet. As a result, approximately 90 % of the TfL Fleet has telematics equipment fitted and all new vehicles are now procured with telematics fitted as standard.
The Vision Zero action plan sets out an action to continue the roll out of telematics technology to all the vehicles in our fleet and is expected to be 100 % compliant by December 2020. The Fleet vehicles current setup is as follows:
Transport for London (TfL) seeks to obtain early market feedback in relation the potential procurement of an active intelligent speed assistance system that can be retrofitted to its commercial vehicle fleet. The primary focus is to better understand supplier capacity and capability, as well as perceived risks and opportunities. Our understanding of an active ISA system is one that can recognise the speed limit of a road using speed sign-recognition camera and/or GPS-linked speed limit data and restrict vehicle speed accordingly by limiting engine power. This advertisement is issued solely for the purposes of the market engagement. Any possible future procurement of any services, supplies or works by TfL would be carried out strictly in accordance with any relevant obligations under the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016.
