Kapsch TrafficCom unveils upgraded ANPR engine for North America
|
This innovative solution marks a significant leap forward in performance, versatility, and cost efficiency, setting new standards in license plate recognition technology. As part of the wider tolling offering, the technology is a key building block for delivering state-of-the-art tolling technology. A Revolutionary Approach to ANPR Building on the success of regional ANPR engines introduced in Europe and Australia in 2023, Kapsch TrafficCom has now expanded its advanced technology to North America. Unlike traditional project-specific engines, the new ANPR engine is designed to serve multiple projects across the region, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability. The ANPR engine leverages deep learning technology to enhance recognition capabilities. “A newly developed deep neural network specifically for North America ensures precise identification of license plates from 58 jurisdictions, including all mainland US states, Hawaii, Mexico, and the most relevant Canadian provinces,” explains Chris Jones, Director of Video Transaction Optimization at Kapsch TrafficCom North America. JB Kendrick, President at Kapsch TrafficCom North America, adds: “Our newest and most robust engine can accurately identify over 150 plate types, focusing on the most widely used designs and ensuring easy scalability to include additional types as needed. While it is not a stand-alone product, it is a key building block for our existing and future roadside tolling clients. These investments in continuous enhancements exemplifies our conviction to improve all our technologies.” Meeting the Challenges of North American Diversity North America presents unique challenges for ANPR systems due to the vast variety of license plate designs, syntaxes, and allowed characters. The new Kapsch TrafficCom engine has been meticulously trained to handle these complexities, delivering exceptional performance even in challenging scenarios. With deployment in several projects already underway, the new ANPR engine is set to take license plate recognition in North America to the next level, significantly reducing manual review costs by improving the percentage of plates read automatically. A Collaborative Global Effort The development of the North American ANPR engine is a testament to the power of cross-regional collaboration within Kapsch TrafficCom. Experts from across the globe worked together to create a solution tailored to the specific demands of the North American market, helping tolling clients achieve greater operational efficiency and prepare for future demands.
