820 NDI Recognition Systems has launched the ST200, a new rapid deployment Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system designed for use in a wide range of covert and overt applications in both mobile and static modes. The ST200 can simultaneously process up to two lanes of high-speed, high-density traffic and multiple units can be networked to provide a 'ring of steel' capability.

The ST200 is a rugged, compact and portable ANPR system with wireless HSUPA (3G) and WiFi connectivity which can be deployed and operational within minutes. It features a powerful 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with a Windows operating system running high-speed frame grabbers and the Talon ANPR software, a proprietary neural network recognition engine that is claimed to deliver significantly higher performance and accuracy than OCR-based ANPR systems.

The system can handle four video inputs from two 'Dual' ANPR cameras providing full-colour contextual overview imagery and high-quality number plate capture using IR at speeds of up to four plates per second, significantly faster than other systems. Over 2 million time-stamped images and pre- and post-capture videos can be securely stored on the system along with local hotlists which are managed by direct connection to Web-based services such as BOF or the NDI-RS back office called VISCE.

The signs are not much to look at: white with a red circle and the all-important word Milieuzone ('Environmental zone'). But these signs mean that Amsterdam's city centre is strictly off-limits to polluting goods traffic. At the moment compliance is monitored by special wardens wh

    Machine vision techniques can provide solutions to some of the traffic planners most enduring problems With a high proportion of cars being occupied by the driver alone, one of the easiest, most environmentally friendly and cheapest methods of reducing congestion is to encourage more people to travel in each vehicle. So to persuade people to share rides, high occupancy lanes were devised to prioritise vehicles with (typically) three of more people on board and in some areas these vehicles are exempt from
