Vehicles are becoming one of the major challenges in the cities due to the multiples challenges they bring (pollution, high traffic, security issues, etc.).
In response, cities are evolving to become intelligent entities that monitor more and more citizen data to optimize their policies, being License Plate Recognition (LPR / ANPR) one of the most powerful pieces of information: thanks to LPR, city surveillance systems have the possibility to link license plates and vehicles, their types, owners and every other registered data associated; this opens a whole new world of opportunities for new really smart city solutions.
It's More than just "reading license plates"
Reading license plates on the go (using Free Flow Standalone LPR Cameras to collect data 24/7 in several key city points) allows Smart cities to gather accurate information useful to monitor and generate a deeper understanding of traffic flows, the basis for creating better policies and developments.
Car sharing is becoming trending in many cities, but carpool parking may be a nightmare for management and parking owners; LPR/ANPR allows more precise control and better service to users of online city platforms by providing exact information about the vehicles involved in the process.
Automated Carpool parking makes it possible to reward users with a safe spot to park, free from tickets and hassles.
Not every vehicle shall be allowed in every city corner; some spaces may remain free of pollution; the only way to ensure this is using LPR/ANPR to identify “unfit” vehicles and enforce access control.
LPR can also help city management to enforce regulations in downtowns and other special areas, which also need to prioritize the type of vehicles allowed; LPR allows easier, automated license plate-based access control by controlling barriers in real-time.
Smart recycling centers allow private parties to drop their loads; LPR allows users to reserve appointments with information about their cargo for better control and service quality.
Mobile LPR is the capability of performing License Plate Recognition from a moving vehicle using a compact LPR camera; this allows a single parking control agent to check up to 1000 vehicles a day, much more than the 300 that could be done by foot.
A high-speed and precise LPR camera (such as our Picopak, the world's smallest LPR camera.) is needed to achieve this level of effectiveness,
One of the most popular traffic solutions is reserved channels that restrict access to special vehicles such as taxis, buses, or shared cars; LPR cameras installed at the entrance of these channels can monitor their license plates and inform authorities in real-time about regulations violations.
The license plates of stolen or wanted vehicles are automatically sent to the authorities' hotlist as soon as they are reported; LPR cameras installed in key city points can monitor plates and send the data to security systems instantly, achieving real-time alerts that lead to faster and effective response of security forces.
Due to speed and direction reading capabilities, LPR cameras can detect and report infractions in these types of street sites in real time, making the work of traffic law enforcers much easier and more effective.
Having LPR cameras at the entrance and exits of tunnels has become a huge advantage for security policies. By measuring the time spent inside the structure, systems can determine if accidents have occurred much faster than human visual monitoring.
In case of such events, LPR allows authorities to have records of all vehicles involved for a faster and more appropriate response; the ability to read HAZMAT (Hazardous material license plates) becomes key for improving damage control response.
Cities also bet for prevention; drivers love to be warned before committing a traffic violation (high speed or wrong direction); LPR cameras in real-time speed signs can show drivers the vehicles' speed, giving them a heads up on their traffic behavior.
Thanks to our specialized high-end hardware, Survision's standalone LPR Cameras perform the License Plate Recognition (LPR / ANPR) by themselves, transmitting processed data with no need for external servers or complex installations; therefore, they can be installed everywhere, literally.
This special configuration makes it possible to extend monitoring city coverage, reaching places impossible for other server-based systems without sacrificing precision.
