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.

    Transportation applications move to machine vision’s mainstream
    The adaptation of machine vision to transport applications continues apace. That the machine vision industry is taking traffic installations seriously is evident by the amount of hardware and software products tailor-made for ITS applications that are now available on the market. A good example comes from US-based Gridsmart Technologies which has developed a single wire fisheye camera that provides a horizon to horizon view for use at intersections. Not only does the single camera replace four or more in a

    Technology advances improve enforcement
    Across the board, technology is being brought to bear to improve the efficiency of enforcement. Bus lane monitoring, parking and controlled access have all benefited from systems introduced in recent months. While speed and red light infringements tend to attract the most attention, there remain several other areas of enforcement where automation can bring significant operational and efficiency benefits. Lane monitoring and access control also continue to benefit from technological development.

    Bus lane enforcement reduces costs, journey times
    The Southcote Lane site in the UK town of Reading is a notorious shortcut for motorists travelling into the town centre. The resultant congestion at the end of the bus lane, when motorists tried to re-enter the main traffic flow, caused congestion and disruption to bus timetables. Reading Borough Council wanted a cost-efficient, effective solution to accurately capture bus lane violations and improve bus travel times. Reading became the first local authority in the UK to deploy Siemens's LaneHawk fully auto
