Real time vehicle identification and assessments
USR now provides a License Plate Reader (LPR) System as part of our Electronic Monitoring solutions. The LPR brings a new dimension of decision
making information for Security and Traffic Management. It uses a unique, patented approach that automatically detects the presence of any vehicle in its field of view, captures an image containing the license plate, locates it and reads the plate number and state-of-origin. The
approach can read all types of license plates: retroreflective, non-retro-reflective, embossed, flat, and others, allowing the system to identify vehicles with no plates or with plates that may have become non-retro-reflective due to dirt, snow or other factors.
The LPR system automatically captures, identifies and records the
alphanumeric code, state/province of origin, and country of origin. The process occurs in real time, thus minimizing the transit and wait times. The
information gathered from the plates can be linked to databases for
background checks and can assist in generating accurate usage statistics and updating existing database records.

CONCEPT OF OPERATION
A typical lane of LPR equipment configured to read front and rear license plates and consists of:
• Two vehicle sensors
• Two stroboscopic illuminators
• Two imaging heads in environmentally controlled enclosures
• One Network Video Processor (NVP) acting as the lane and network communications controller
