A new system is now available that measures average Highway speed based on a pair of LPR units, and issues a speeding ticket.
The LPR cameras are installed at toll sites or on bridges above traffic lanes in sites that are located several 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.

The following is a simulated example of a violation case. The left double image display is the images captured at both locations. The bottom display shows the vehicle number, speed and delta-speed. The right side lists the history of all violations. If a certain event is clicked on, a speed violation record is displayed and can be printed with proof of violations and detailed information. This example 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.

Here the local speed limit is 60Km per hour, and the car captured was going at 75KM

SeeWay is a sophisticated vision-based License Plate Recognition (LPR) system that identifies and tracks number plates on vehicles traveling at low to high speeds. The system can integrate multiple lanes and multiple cameras per lane on a single standard PC system.



A typical gantry installation of a 2 lane US installation with 3 cameras (on the rear plate side) is shown in the following figure:


The heart of the system is the state of the art cameras, which are magapixel progressive scan B&W cameras that capture and send digital images over the gigabit network.



Vehicle traffic speeds: up to 160KMH (USA) or 200KMH (Europe)

Number of lanes: 1-2 (normal mode) 

The camera servers can be remote; the video is transmitted over the network 

Typical applications: Traffic surveillance and enforcement systems, average-speed violation systems, security and toll-road installations 

Optional color overview camera capture 



The following illustration shows a typical configuration of a SeeWay LPR system (for example, for 2-lanes traffic monitoring system). 

The application runs as a background Windows application in the PC (shown in the center), and interfaces to a set of camera/illumination units (one for each vehicle) which are interfaced by the Gigabit network. An optional color overview camera is available with a frame grabber interface. The application controls the sensors and controls via an I/O card that is connected thru a terminal block to the inputs and outputs. 






The main output of the application is a recognition message, which is easily integrated into a Client application locally or across the network. Our SDK (Software Development Kit) comes with several ready-made Client applications that can be a basis for this integration and custom-built applications. For more details - see SeeLane integration concept 



A sample of the main display is shown in the following figure. 







SeeWay is based on external triggering sensor such as loop detectors or laser sensors. It can trigger either when: 

the vehicle activates the sensor (for front plate detection), or 

when the vehicle leaves the detection (for rear plate detection), 

or use the special "stereo" mode (which takes in account both the front and rear plate detections). 

Another derivative of SeeWay can operate on the basis of a software trigger. This application, SeeRoad, is a single lane LPR system that triggers when the plate is seen entering a detection zone.
