The MAV IQ automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera range has been extended with new models, the IQ:SL and an optional expansion module for attachment of peripheral devices, such as radar for speed indication, or pan/tilt control.

The IQ range concentrates data into narrower lane widths; recent additions include the ability to create exclusion zones that can be used to filter out signage or unwanted traffic.

Direction of travel reporting has also been improved to allow mapping of complex road layouts and deal with the actual vehicle’s movement without needing to define fixed lanes. All IQ cameras provide comprehensive metadata for analysis and integration into a multitude of back office applications.

With up to 32GB of on-board memory, MAV says the IQ range can store in excess of a million plates including colour overview and plate patch images. Each read can be sent immediately, but can also be accessed later using the ‘store and forward’ feature.

    Single-camera bi-directional speed enforcement can reduce the cost of enforcing speeding on two-way roads without repositioning the camera. Truvelo has received UK type-approval for a simultaneous bi-directional (SBD) enforcement camera, the D-Cam P digital, which can capture speeding motorist both those travelling towards and away from the camera. It is also in the process of carrying out the first installations of the D-Cam P in the UK.

    School authorities in the US are turning to automated school bus stop arm enforcement to curb an astonishing number of violations. It is estimated that every year nearly 17,000 American children are sent to emergency rooms as a result of school bus related crashes. And when surveyed, 99% of school bus drivers reported that the most dangerous behaviour they encounter is drivers passing a school bus with its stop sign arm extended. Every day these drivers who violate the extended stop arm signs put at risk
  • Faster more flexible ANPR from Imagsa

    Imagsa’s latest Atalaya automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera is more flexible and has more processing power, thanks to the company’s proprietary FPGA processor coupled to a CMOS sensor which allows the camera to operate at 270 frames per second. Although Imagsa say this isn’t necessarily needed for ANPR, the camera works under any conditions and at this frame rate can accurately detect a vehicle ten times in three metres at speeds of up to 250 km/h, even in heavy rain or in direct sunlight.
