World's smallest hi-res LPR camera

Genetec has launched what it claims is the world's smallest high-resolution Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) camera - the AutoVu SharpX. Designed specifically for mobile law enforcement applications, although the device is just 42mm (1.65 in) tall, the company claims it achieves the industry's highest plate capture rates by providing two to three times higher resolution than other solutions. Moreover, it is capable of reading up to differential speeds over 320 km/h (200mph), across three lanes of traffic. Th

Moreover, it is capable of reading up to differential speeds over 320 km/h (200mph), across three lanes of traffic. The AutoVu SharpX also offers a state-of-the-art Super HAD CCD II colour context camera to provide the best images in a variety of environmental conditions.

"The feedback from all initial trials has been overwhelmingly positive. This unit is truly the next generation in LPR hardware."

    The Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver is a prime example of how the latest ITS systems enable new infrastructures to be built and paid for while still providing additional user benefits. Vancouver has 2.2 million inhabitants and, like so many major cities, is divided into two by a river, the Frazer river. This combination makes Vancouver the second most congested city in North America and the most congested in Canada. Through the middle of the city runs the Trans-Canadian Highway 1 which crosses the Frazer Riv

    Intertraff, a regular exhibitor at Intertraffic in Amsterdam, is using the event for the world launch of a radically new mobile speed enforcement camera, the D-cop Mobile. As Intertraff director Toni Marzo states, combining a compact, tripod mounted speed camera with multi-lane radar is a first. “Tripod mounted systems have been popular with police forces around the world for many years but they have either been limited to one lane for enforcement or multi-lane versions are extremely bulky with trailing cab
