HTS wins LPR monitoring contract in Brazil

DERSA, the national roads company in Brazil, has awarded HTS a contract for over 30 licence plate recognition (LPR) systems to be deployed on seven coastal ferry crossings in order to monitor vehicles as they pass in and out of the entry and exit gates. The company will supply the entire project turnkey which includes LPR cameras, security cameras, video analytics, electrical infrastructure, and communications.

5947 DERSA, the national roads company in Brazil, has awarded 4015 HTS a contract for over 30 licence plate recognition (LPR) systems to be deployed on seven coastal ferry crossings in order to monitor vehicles as they pass in and out of the entry and exit gates. The company will supply the entire project turnkey which includes LPR cameras, security cameras, video analytics, electrical infrastructure, and communications.

Desenvolvimento Rodoviário S/A (DERSA), is a partially state owned-company, responsible for delivering the best solutions in transportation infrastructure and logistics, and contributing to the development of São Paulo and Brazil.

The government also mandated DERSA to take over the administration of the coastal crossings which transport large numbers of vehicles on ferries. In order to make the entire process both safer and more efficient, DERSA is upgrading its operational control centre which manages and controls all the vehicles on the ferry as well as those waiting in line to embark. This will include measurement of waiting times, count and classification of vehicles, communications and variable message boards to be deployed across the coastal crossings.

    Machine vision takes ITS further than the eye can see
    Vitronic’s John Yalda looks at how machine vision has become an integral part of many ITS deployments and why it complements, rather than replaces, ANPR. New and conventional business concepts like online shopping and mail order business are becoming more established in the cultures of fast-growing economies and increasing the demand for flexibility in the freight transportation and logistics industry. Road transport has become the preferred infrastructure for freight forwarding and several studies predict

    Debating the future development of ANPR
    What future is there for automatic number plate recognition? Will it be supplanted by electronic vehicle identification, or will continuing development maintain the technology's relevance? In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi

Andy Graham considers the options with Jason Barnes. For ITS system providers, the most potentially lucrative markets over the next few years are going to be the BRIC (Brazil Russia India and China) group of countries, all of which are building many miles of new roads, applying tolling to existing ones (8,000km in China alone) and implementing w
