  1. TBWG Data Workshop June 3rd, 2008 New Technologies for Data Collection Automated License Plate Recognition

  2. Intelligent Imaging Systems Inc. (IIS) is a technology company that provides imaging solutions to the Transportation Market. Our focus is the North American market, with offices in Kentucky and Alberta and British Columbia. IIS technology has been widely deployed throughout the United States and Canada . Our customer base is made up of leading transportation and law enforcement agencies. We have developed a suite of integrated technologies based on our expertise in imaging systems and cultivated partnerships with proven technology providers in order to deliver the most advanced solutions to meet our customers needs.

  3. IIS core technologies include: • Thermal Imaging Systems • Surveillance • Transportation Safety Inspections • Machine Vision Solutions for Transportation • Automated License Plate Recognition • Automated USDOT Number Recognition • Integrated Inspection Systems • DOT / DHS Hybrid Solutions for Transportations • Smart Roadside solutions for Commercial Vehicle Inspections

  4. A brief discussion on… ALPR Technology

  5. ALPR Technology Benefits for Multiple Users and Applications • A Few Examples • Transportation • Law Enforcement • Customs and Immigration • Homeland Security • Travel Time & Source - Destination Studies • Commercial Vehicle Safety • Revenue & Tax Collection • Tolling Applications • General Law Enforcement • Border Screening • DHS Screening and Interdiction

  6. ALPR Technology • How does it work? Reflect Near Infrared Light off of License Plate Locate presence of license plate (LP) in captured image Decode LP using Optical Character Recognition

  7. ALPR Technology • Capabilities Ability to Recognize License Plate Numbers • In 24 / 7 automated applications • In inclement weather conditions • In night-time conditions regardless of headlights • Printed plastic or metal stamped license plates • Multiple jurisdictions with advanced OCR engines • Driver safe illumination • Uses existing mandated identifying marker

  8. ALPR Technology • Performance • No imaging system has 100% recognition accuracy • Up to 95% accuracy • Actual performance dependent on environment • How much accuracy do you need? • Depends on needs of data user • Statistical analysis: can rely on smaller sample sets • Law Enforcement screening: higher accuracy=better • Performance versus Cost OR Benefits versus Cost

  9. ALPR Technology • Advantages • Non-Intrusive • Do not interfere with flow of commerce • Easy installation • Does not require participant enrollment • Easy Installation • More Siting options, less civil work • Solar power and wireless communication options • Low – Maintenance • Easy- Integration into existing data collection systems • Security – off road and hard to access

  10. ALPR Technology • As a Data Source RAW Data • Decoded License Plate Number & Jurisdiction • Location • Date / Time Stamp • Corresponding LP and overview image • Benefits of ALPR Data Beyond RAW data

  11. ALPR Technology • Data Uses RAW Data + Multiple Sites • Traffic Counting • Time Travel Studies • Traffic Flow Studies RAW Data + Multiple Sites + Information Systems • Traffic Safety via electronic E-Screening • Source Destination Traffic Studies • Law Enforcement / Immigration / Homeland Security E-Screening • Open Road Tolling • Fine and Tax Collection

  12. ALPR Technology • Not all Data Users are Created Equally Different Users have different needs Different Mandates have different data access requirements Privacy constraints differ among agencies Technical Solutions exist to serve multiple agency mandates by sharing data across users according to pre-determined business rules and through stacked subscriptions to the same RAW data, Processed Data, or Contextualized Data. Technology is not the limiting factor
