7513 Videalert’s automated school safety system automates the enforcement of parking contraventions on keep clear zones outside schools, utilising a single digital high definition PTZ camera to automatically capture offending vehicles without requiring any manual intervention.

It combines video analytics and ANPR to continuously monitor restricted areas and only captures drivers that actually commit an offence by being stationary in a defined ‘watch area’ and exceeding the ‘watch time’.  Video evidence packs are automatically generated and transmitted to the council for review before any PCNs are processed or generated.

    Richard Cuerden considers how many of the technologies developed as part of a move toward autonomous vehicles are already being deployed as ADAS improve road safety. The drive to create autonomous vehicles has caused a re-evaluation of what is needed to safely navigate today’s roads and the development of systems that can replace the driver in many scenarios. However, many manufacturers are not waiting for ‘tomorrow’ and are already incorporating these systems in their new cars as Advanced Driver Assistanc

    The sheer range of variables makes it difficult to find a single algorithm to ensure a 100% standard of ANPR. David Crawford investigates new processing technology. Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), using optical character recognition and image-processing to identify vehicles, plays key roles in traffic monitoring and law enforcement, access and parking control, electronic toll collection, vehicle security and crime deterrence. Overall, system performance is well rated, with high levels of
