UK company, 521 CA Traffic, having launched the Evo8 fully integrated Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system in 2009, has announced a number of evolutionary developments offering customers what it says are unique capabilities in the world of ANPR.
Evo8 is a fully integrated high definition ANPR solution, already in use worldwide by municipalities, local authorities and police forces for surveillance, traffic management, tolling or access control. The system incorporates camera, illumination, image processing and communications in a single unit, whilst an optional high resolution overview camera provides detailed contextual images.
In a recent project, Buckinghamshire County Council, in collaboration with Thames Valley Police, installed an eleven camera journey time system which supplies two different types of data to two different back office systems in two separate locations.
In an innovative integration of Evo8 with their Cloud Amber1682 UTMC back office system, Buckinghamshire County Council uses journey time data generated from the Evo8 to analyse traffic on routes around Aylesbury. In the long term this data will enable the UTMC system to make automatic changes to traffic light timings to ease congestion in and around the town.
Additionally, NAAS (National ACPO ANPR Standards) compliant data supplied to the Thames Valley Police HQ by the same cameras, incorporates colour overview images for crime investigation and crime intelligence purposes.
Furthermore, in a unique and on-going inter-company collaboration and as part of their involvement in the joint development of the UTMC ANPR specification, CA Traffic has supplied189 Siemens’ developers with a real-time UTMC compliant ANPR data feed from an EVO8 recognising vehicles live at a roadside in Buckinghamshire. The data was transmitted via a GPRS mobile network directly to Siemens development servers. This cooperation has enabled both companies to confirm the compliance of their products with the latest UTMC ANPR protocol and to offer inter-operable products to their combined customer base.
CA Traffic says that this development, combined with the Buckinghamshire programme, ensures that the Evo8 is the only ANPR camera system supplying UTMC data feeds to both the Siemens Comet and Cloud Amber back office solutions.
Evo8’s high resolution infra-red camera has an ultra bright infra-red LED illuminator for covert operation day and night. The system uses internationally proven ANPR software and recognises number plates from most European countries and many other countries worldwide with a high degree of accuracy. Vehicles are automatically recognised without the need for loops or beams, and the system is capable of monitoring a full two lanes simultaneously with a single camera.
Says Bernard Greene, managing director of CA Traffic, “These latest developments have positioned CA Traffic and the EVO8 at the leading edge of the ANPR technology list, both at home and overseas.”
