189 Siemens has won an order worth more than £656,000 to supply more than 50 Sitraffic Sicore automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras to the city of Bydgoszcz, Poland.  

The cameras, which Siemens says are capable of recognising more than half a million number plates a day, will be used to monitor traffic in the event of congestion. Commissioning is planned for spring 2015.

Sitraffic Sicore cameras have an operating range of around five to 35 metres and can detect vehicles over up to two lanes of approaching and receding traffic.  According to Siemens, the integrated detection and number plate reading technology achieves top detection rates at vehicle speeds up to 250 km/h. Special algorithms also enable the system to distinguish different vehicle classes and monitor vehicles transporting dangerous goods.
