Berlin counts cars! Video recording for better air quality started

Berlin, Deutschland - in Berlin it will be exciting from October 15th to 17th, 2024: At ten selected road sections, the Senate Department for Mobility continuously records vehicle license plates via video. This project aims to collect statistical data for improving air quality and promoting sustainable mobility. Drivers in the capital should be prepared that their license plate could also be recorded anonymously.

The authorities emphasize that all data is anonymized and recorded under strict data protection regulations. It is assured that the license plates are not used to punish traffic violations and that no pictures of vehicles or their inmates are made. The information is intended to help derive the average pollutant emissions and are important for both areas within and outside the environmental zone. More precisely at which locations the recording takes place remains secret. Further details on the measure are Available here
