UK-headquartered 521 CA Traffic is to supply an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) journey time system to 6962 Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA), to be deployed as part of the Better Bus initiative along key corridors within the Tyne and Wear region in the north-east of the country.   

CA Traffic will be supplying around 100 Evo8 intelligent ANPR camera systems, each utilising an HD camera, integrated LED illumination, on-board processor with in built ANPR software and a 3G modem for data transmission purposes. In order to minimise street clutter all of the ANPR cameras will be located on existing street furniture. CA Traffic will also be providing a specialised journey time instation suite for data handling.

Covering up to twenty transport corridors, it is anticipated the system will collect data from as many as two million number plates per day and will be fully integrated with the Tyne and Wear urban traffic management and control (UTMC) system in order to make real time traffic management decisions to ease the flow of traffic in the areas covered by the system. In addition to the data being used to derive journey times, historic data may also be used to provide origin and destination information for future transport modelling and planning.

Newcastle City Council is acting as lead authority and the system will be managed and operated by the Tyne and Wear UTMC facility on behalf of the ITA partners which include Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council, North Tyneside Council, South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council.
