Today, where efficiency and security are paramount, automatic license plate recognition is becoming an essential tool for access control, traffic monitoring, tolling and travel time measurement. Traditionally, these systems were expensive and limited to specific applications, but the rapid advancement of IP cameras and deep learning is transforming the landscape, making these solutions more affordable and versatile than ever before.
How does plate recognition work?
Modern license plate recognition solutions rely on specially designed cameras that incorporate advanced analytics, either pre-installed on the camera, in the cloud or on a server. These analytics automatically capture a vehicle’s license plate in real time, compare it to predefined databases or lists, and perform specific actions such as opening a door, applying a fee, or generating an alert.
To ensure optimal performance in various lighting conditions, some solutions may require cameras with integrated infrared light or additional light sources.
Wide range of applications
Automatic license plate recognition offers a valuable solution for a variety of applications:
- Parking Management: Facilitates or automates the payment, entry and exit of vehicles, improving the user experience and optimizing the use of space.
- Toll Roads: Allows a free flow of vehicles through the toll areas without the need to stop, speeding up traffic and reducing waiting times.
- Airport Traffic Management: Ensures that only authorized vehicles can access cab and public transport lanes, improving safety in sensitive areas.
- Access Control: Gates open only for authorized vehicles, and all visiting vehicles are automatically registered, facilitating access management in private facilities.
- Vehicle alerts: Generates automatic alerts when a vehicle on a watch list passes through the monitored area, improving the ability to respond to possible incidents.
