ISS Autoscope EX-122 exceeds UK national ANPR standards

Independent tests have shown that Image Sensing Systems’ Autoscope Ex-122 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera and CitySync LPR engine exceed the new UK National ANPR Standards for Policing (NASP) performance requirements.

Independent tests have shown that 6626 Image Sensing Systems’ 6575 Autoscope Ex-122 automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera and CitySync LPR EngiNe exceed the new UK National ANPR Standards for Policing (NASP) performance requirements.

Issued by Home Office on behalf of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the standards require fixed installation ANPR systems to achieve a capture rate of at least 98 per cent of vehicle licence plates passing the camera and a correct read rate of at least 95 per cent of those captured plates.

Developed in partnership with 521 CA Traffic, the dual lane Autoscope Ex-122 intelligent camera, incorporating the Autoscope ANPR software and EngiNe was tested against NASP criteria using a camera installed over a two-lane highway on two separate days with varying weather conditions.  The results achieved were a capture rate of 98.74 per cent and a correct read rate of 99.61 per cent.

“We believe this sets the standard for other ANPR camera suppliers to achieve”, said Bernard Greene, managing director of CA Traffic. “The fruits of our Technology Exchange Agreement with ISS are now clear for all to see. The synergy between our camera and the ISS software is compelling.”

“We are very pleased with the results of this independent test”, said Nico Bekooy, chief development officer of Image Sensing Systems. “The combination of our world-renowned 539 CitySync ANPR EngiNe with the highest quality fixed camera provide our customers with the best ANPR solution available on the market today.”

We loved his free spirit…you never knew what he was going to do or say next…he kept you on the edge of your seat. Dan had several careers throughout his life and he took the best from each one, using that to make his next career step even better. But at the end of the day, he was an engineer who loved to sell and share.” – Econo
