New age edge-AI ANPR: Enhancing traffic management with high precision

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a highly accurate system capable of reading vehicle number plates without human intervention. ANPR has been seeing a global adoption both in public and private spaces for better traffic management. Police forces worldwide have been using ANPR for law enforcement purposes, such as – checking if a vehicle is registered or licensed. It is also used in electronic toll collection systems on pay-per-use roads and as a method of making a systematic list of the movements of traffic, for example by highways agencies, shopping malls, commercial complexes, residential apartments, managing parking spaces, etc

Advantages of ANPR also include:

• Real-Time Detection.
• 24/7 Surveillance Protection
• Multiple-Module Integration
• Electronic Tracking System
• Faster Report Generation
• Instant Results during Investigations
• Black/Whitelisted Checks
• SMS/Email/Notifications
• Stolen Vehicle Checks
