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.

    Antaira Technologies’ marketing engineer Brian Roth explains why the increasing capacity of wireless bridges is reducing the cost of expanding and upgrading ITS networks. With more than half of the world’s population now living in cities, the need for efficient transportation of both people and goods has never been greater and that pressure is unlikely to ease any time soon. Indeed in many regions of the world the rate of urbanisation is still increasing as the demand for rural workers continues to decline.

    ANPR camera producer MAV Systems is using Epitex’s infrared LEDs in stand-alone illuminators to capture high definition images of fast moving vehicles at night without distracting drivers. MAV’s managing director Steve Walker, said; “Our customers need the best overview images, night and day, and don’t want to use harsh white light or have to erect expensive additional mounting positions. Combining our intelligent LED pulse driver circuits with Epitex’s infrared LEDs means we can provide clear night-time p

    Carrida Technologies says its automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) engine is scalable in terms of reading performance, run time and application area. The ANPR engine is based on a convolutional neural network which has been optimised to be able to cover a variety of characteristics from all over the world, the company adds. In addition, the ANPR engine reads vehicle number plates and includes other modules such as the recognition of make and model of vehicles. Stand: 1F42
