A new system is now available
that measures average Highway speed based on a pair of LPR
units, and issues a speeding ticket or directly informs the road
user.
The LPR cameras are to be installed at VARIOUS
PLACES IN SA on bridges above
traffic lanes in sites that are located about 10 KM kilometers
apart. Each unit automatically captures the images,
recognizes the plate, and reports the passing vehicles license
plate. The recognition data is reported by messages through
TCP/IP network to a Central computer (using SeeData).
In the Central computer a special Client application (SeeCarSpeed)
matches the pairs and calculates the average speed by the time
that passed traveling between the points.
Speeding vehicles that pass a
threshold are listed, together with a pair of images of each
point and additional information. The violation can also be
printed showing the violation details and pictures.

This LPR-based speed
measurement system has several advantages over other techniques:
the violation detection is not based on a singular point (as
most other methods do) but rather on the length of the route, so
it slows down the traffic along the entire route rather
than in specific points which are quickly known to drivers.
Additional advantages: the system is automatic and easy to set
up; the system provides the evidence in images; it covers all
lanes and operates 24 hours (using invisible Infra-Red
illumination).
The system can also be connected to roadside Traffic signs that
can alert the drivers in real time on their speeding violation.
If you would like to see the images the digital cameras
capture of the cars, please download and run the PLAYER .EXE
file below. This will show you the images and the LPR
system performing recogtinion on these images.
