Carrida standalone, network-compatible ALPR systems for parking applications

Vision Components’ modular Carrida automatic licence plate recognition (ALPR) software enables black list/white list access control, parking management, identification of vehicle types and colours and data logging. It can be networked with gates, barriers, ticket printers, under-vehicle scanners (UVSS) and other relevant equipment.

7918 Vision Components’ modular Carrida automatic licence plate recognition (ALPR) software enables black list/white list access control, parking management, identification of vehicle types and colours and data logging. It can be networked with gates, barriers, ticket printers, under-vehicle scanners (UVSS) and other relevant equipment.


The high-performance, hardware-independent Carrida software engine offers a typical processing time of 30ms and a reading accuracy of greater than 96%, says the company. It can process all common still and video formats, detects all plates displayed in one image and recognises characters with a minimum height of 12 pixels.

A dedicated parking management software tool files all collected data for review and statistical analysis at any time via web GUI. Multiple Carrida cameras with a master-slave configuration enable control of several entrances and exits.

    Unbroken service Technolution's Winifred Roggekamp and Dave Marples describe efforts to upgrade the Westerscheldetunnel's tolling system to give free-flow capability. Until 2003 the Flanders region of Zeeland, in the south-west of the Netherlands, was connected to the mainland only by ferry. The new Westerscheldetunnel, a 6.6km toll tunnel, improves communications with the region considerably, taking some 100km off the alternative road journey. In 2006 it was recognised that the toll plaza for the tunnel ne

    Hikvision has added to its DeepinView camera line with what it calls the Dedicated subseries.

    The company says this loads a batch of artificial intelligence-powered deep learning algorithms into each unit, which are of use in two distinct categories.

    The first is vehicle analysis, where cameras combine automatic number plate recognition with vehicle attribute recognition - including make, colour and direction of movement. 

    Typical installations would be on city streets and at the entrances of car parks and buildings.
