Innovative aspects

First low emission zone in Belgium

Highest degree of integration and automation in Europe

Exchange information of different databases between different partners, compliant to privacy regulations

‘Once only’ principle

MAGDA platform as ‘hub’ between LEZ-cities and databases

Developed MAGDA components reusable in other projects

Data for environmental management and evaluation

Stakeholder involvementCitizens, companies and visitors

• Information sessions, debates• Calls to action

Political and administrative level• Multilevel legislative efforts: federal, regional, local• Multilevel and cross-domain administrative collaboration

Local police department• Shared investment in network of ANPR-camera’s

Privacy institutions: federal and regional• Prior consultation• Involvement of integrators

Social inclusion

LEZ aiming at better health for citizens

Socially weaker groups (disables, financially weak …) favoured in access criteria

Developed services enable citizens to apply for permits and exemptionsaccording to individual needs

Multi-channel front-office for applicants• PC, tablet and smartphone• Parking meters and self-service registration desks• City windows

Sustainability

Possibility to evolve from one to more queried national vehicle databases

Framework constructed in order to deal with future changes in access criteria

Possibility to evolve to other use of system (congestion charging, traffic management)

Reuse of developed MAGDA components in other projects, e.g. in Citizens Portal

Transferability

Easy transfer to other Flemish cities implementing LEZ (Ghent, Mechelen)

Application code transferable to other cities/regions for LEZ purposes• Remark: limitations in European data harmonisation/standardisation,

access to national databases in other countries, information exchange between countries

Reusable components

Some figures

LEZ-website• Nearly 1 mio users (2/3 new, 1/3 return)• Nearly 5.6 mio pageviews

ANPR• 58 mio camerascans (of which 46 mio confidence > 80%)• 725,000 unique cars/month checked (average)

Outcome• 72,000 applications handled• LEZ conformity of carfleet: from 94.7% in February to 98.8% in

October (Belgian car fleet: < 90%)

Plans for (nearby) futureIn development: new services – reuse of services

• Access to NL / F databases for personal information of offenders• Reuse of services in Citizen’s Portal• Reuse of services by Flemish fleet manager• Reuse of services for traffic monitoring with ANPR

Future developments• Access to Viapass database (> 3,5 ton)• Access to foreign databases for vehicle information• Access to other foreign databases for personal information

More LEZ• Antwerp: study to enlarge LEZ (within and beyond city borders)• Brussels Region: starting LEZ in 2018• Ghent and Mechelen: starting LEZ in 2020
