A mission to read
all license plates
CARRIDA Technologies’
mission is to read all
vehicle license plates, as is
reflected in its name: ‘Car’
stands for the vehicles that the
company loves, while ‘Rida’
(pronounced “reader”) refers
to the passion of recognizing
license plates. Its software
module for automatic license
plate recognition (ALPR)
is designed for all kinds
of applications.
The CARRIDA software
engine is easy to integrate into
existing security and
surveillance ITS applications.
It is fully hardware independent,
running on Windows, Linux PCs
and advanced RISC (reduced
instruction set computing)
machine (ARM) architectures
on Linux and Android. A very
fast processing speed of
typically 15-20ms per frame
enables the reading of license
plates from vehicles traveling up
to 240km/h (150mph).
The software can read
partially damaged, dirty or
distorted license plates. It also
works on images that are noisy
or have a low contrast. In
consequent readings can be
done with up to 99% accuracy
under real world conditions.
The software can be used with
any C and C++ project via an
application program interface
(API). This means that the user
can program a broad range of
applications and can easily
integrate the CARRIDA
software into existing systems.
Small ALPR camera
With their intelligent cameras
they offer one of the smallest
standalone ALPR cameras in
the world. They combine the
software engine with an
intelligent camera.
Therefore, it is possible
to process the collected data
onboard the camera itself.

Key features of
CARRIDA’s ALPR
technology
> A fast processing speed
(typically 15-20ms per
frame) enables reading of
license plates from
vehicles travelling up to
240km/h (150mph)
> Accuracy of up to 90%
under real world conditions
> The camera has an IP67
protective housing with
M12 cable connectors
> The system can also be
appropriate in smart
parking or access control
applications
This allows you to supersede
an additional PC system and
operate in extremely spacesaving
manner. The camera
has an IP67 protective housing
with M12 cable connectors.
Adding make and model
recognition to your ALPR
With the software you can
cover a broad field of different
applications. The system is
automatically able to manage
access to restricted areas. It can
help in law enforcement like fee
control, speed control and
assistance in searches for cars or
plate numbers. In relation to ITS
the software supports traffic
analysis and statics.
Flexible license models
CARRIDA Technologies offers
customers flexible license
models according to their
preferences. The license can be
tied to a runtime or to a fixed
number of reads. CARRIDA’s
customers have the possibility
to choose their own flexible
licensing model. It is also
possible to choose the financial
model. This can be a one-time
payment or payment according
to usage (pay per read).
application results in a higher
recognition accuracy for a
higher security level. This can
be archived with the positive
match between the car and its
license plate. Smart parking
or access control solutions can
also be successfully mastered
by the system.
Deep-learning technology
The software module for the
make and model recognition
is based on the latest AI (Deep
learning) technology to ensure
high recognition rates of the
make, as well as of the model of
vehicles from all over the world.
The newest technological
achievement from CARRIDA is
an Android-operated software
development kit (SDK). A
reading time of approximately
300ms for full high definition
images can be reached, even on
medium class Android devices.
A sample application can be
found on the company’s website.
CARRIDA for Android is
fully optimized for ARM/32bit
architectures. Furthermore, the
SDK includes color recognition
for GCC, state recognition
and stacked characters for
different countries.
