ISS is a component of IBM’s integrated solution that can process millions of number plate images from the tolling system video cameras, the company adds.

Recognising that the benefits of high occupancy carpooling lanes are severely limited when motorists do not abide by the rules, Xerox has launched its vehicle passenger detection system, a HOV/HOT lane compliancy test system that uses Xerox video analytics to identify the number of occupants in a vehicle.
