Copland is a MS Windows software application which provides management of violation data produced by any D-Cop outstation. Copland provides the ability to import violation via LAN, WAN, Internet or wireless using a laptop computer. The violation images and data can be viewed by an Operator and if appropriate, can be passed to a ticket office system.
All communications between Copland and D-cop are encrypted.
If a connection is established successfully, D-cop sends a list of all the uncollected violations to Copland. Violations are sorted by site and once selected from the displayed list, they can be transferred to Copland. On top of that Copland offers the option to remotely update the D-cop configuration and settings.
Copland user interface is designed to have a simple operation but to clearly display all the relevant information. It’s equipped with a facility to allow the backup of database and key files. Also, all keys event that have occurred are secured in a Audit log. For example if a violation is passed to the ticket office system, then an entry will be added to the log to record this action. The log entry will also indicate the violation concerned and if appropriate the operator identity.
THE ARE THREE LEVELS OF ACCESS TO COPLAND
- Operator Level: Provides for basic processing violations
- Supervisor Level: This level has the ability to create and delete accounts (except maintenance level). Supervisor level is required to perform certain actions such as making violations as not to be prosecuted
- Maintenance Level: Can delete password, load new keys, delete unit log etc
Copland provides basic fault management facilities. When a D-cop installation reports a fault, the fault is passed to the fault manager. Each fault has a status section in which the operator can acknowledge receipt of the faults.
Copland can also connect to the PNC or DVLA system to provide automatic retrieval of keeper details. This can proceed once the operator has confirmed the registration number presented in the image. The data retrieval from PNC will be presented alongside the image so that vehicle manufacturer and colour can be checked. The details may then be passed to a ticket office system or to the local document package so that the appropriate forms can be printed.
The new version contains a brand new feature which allows the operator to upload on Intertraff website the pictures capture by the D-cop. When the violation notice is mailed to the driver this notice now contains a userID and password which are unique to each violation. This information can be used by the driver in order to access the web site and after having entered his unique ID and password to view the pictures of the specific violation.
In most countries the pictures of the infringements cannot be attached to the violation notice due to privacy issues. This new Copland feature offers to the Municipalities who have installed the D-cop, a tool which securely allows, those who have received a violation notice, to get access and display the pictures and relevant information regarding the infringement.
This new feature now includes violation notice payment via credit card.
