ISS launches rapid plate recognition

6626 Image Sensing Systems (ISS) has introduced what it claims is the fastest, most accurate automated licence plate recognition (ALPR) engine in the world with its 539 CitySync rapid plate recognition technology. The rapid plate recognition technology reads a licence plate numerous times and uses multiple advanced methods for both optical character recognition and plate finding for each plate read.

The system looks for objects and then initiates multiple processing techniques that run concurrently on vehicles travelling at speeds up to 190 km/h. ISS claims the technology delivers a state of the art engine that outperforms other recognition engines on the market.

 “The rapid plate recognition technology captures key licence plates in crime situations, parking and security access applications,” said Kris Tufto, CEO of Image Sensing Systems. “In several tests by multiple municipalities worldwide, our rapid plate recognition technology routinely read a higher percentage of plates than any other licence plate recognition system. This best-in-class technology can be the differentiator in making an arrest, earning ticket revenue, or securing a facility, for all law enforcement, parking and security organisations.”

    The Partnership for Advancing Road Safety is a new organisation set up in the US to push the national debate on speed and intersection safety, something which hitherto has been absent. Here, executive director David Kelly explains the organisation's work. With moves to address drink/drug driving and the wearing of seatbelts starting to prove successful in the US, the use of inappropriate speed and poor driving at intersections have become responsible for a proportionately greater number of the deaths and in

    IRD, Inc's Terry Bergan discusses future applications of weigh in motion technology. The application in recent years of Weigh In Motion (WIM) at tollgates has been driven by recognition of the fact that there is economic value, which can be levied, attached to Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) which haul laden (and are therefore heavy) rather than empty. As wear and damage to road surfaces increases exponentially with weight, the targeting of HGVs in particular makes sense from both the economic and maintenance p

    A common assumption, even amongst informed observers, is that there’s but a handful of urban charging schemes in operation around the world and scant prospect of that changing any time soon. Larger city-sized schemes such as Singapore, London and Stockholm come readily to mind but if we take a wider view and also consider urban access control and Low Emission Zones (LEZs) then the picture changes rather radically. There is a notable concentration of such schemes in Europe but worldwide the number is comfort
