already used smart technologies
to boost the safety, mobility and
quality of life of their citizens.
The exponential growth in fully
automated and integrated automatic
license plate recognition (ALPR)
solutions for traffic management,
area supervision and urban access
control is key to this trend. From
average speed measurements to red
light enforcement and access control
applications, ALPR has evolved for
use in applications such as: counting;
classifying and guiding vehicles;
measuring transition times and flow
density; creating origin-destination
matrices for traffic analysis; detecting
traffic jam formation; dynamic
crossroad traffic regulation; smart
parking guidance; low emission
zones; and restricted area control.
