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 is available on a simulation; contact us for details. 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.
