CHANDLER'S FORD EASTLEIGH, England, July 24 /PRNewswire/ --

Federal Signal Corporation's (NYSE: FSS) Safety and Security Systems 
Group, a leader in advancing security and well-being, today announced that 
its PIPS Technology Ltd subsidiary has supplied Automatic Number Plate 
Recognition (ANPR) cameras to Siemens Traffic Controls, as part of a contract 
awarded by Transport for London to provide an enforcement structure for 
London's Low Emission Zone (LEZ). The contract is for the established Spike+ 
cameras, already in use worldwide for applications such as road user charging 
and enforcement.

The aim of the scheme is to improve air quality in the city by deterring
the most polluting vehicles from driving within Greater London.

The first phase of the Low Emission Zone, which applies to lorries over
12 tonnes, began on 4 February 2008. The scheme extended on 7 July to
include lorries over 3.5 tonnes, buses and coaches. Cars and motorcycles are
not affected by the scheme.

Reduced traffic pollution will improve the health and quality of life of
people who live in, work in and visit London.

There are no barriers or tollbooths required for this enforcement system.
The Low Emission Zone is enforced through PIPS fixed Spike+ ANPR cameras,
which read the vehicle registration number plate as vehicles drive within the
LEZ and check it against a database of vehicles which meet the LEZ emissions
standards, or are either exempt or registered for a 100% discount, or if the
LEZ daily charge has been paid. PIPS Spike+ cameras check against a database,
which is compiled using data from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency
(DVLA), the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and the Society of
Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), together with information from
vehicle operators who register their vehicle details with Transport for
London (TfL).

PIPS Technology Ltd was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the
Innovation category for its Spike ANPR camera.
