Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speed limits for large trucks have been reduced at many locales for air quality and safety reasons. To realize an improvement in air quality and safety, however, diligent enforcement and fitting punishment have to be implemented. This may put a strain on already tight resources and manpower for state and local agencies. To this end, this paper presents a license plate recognition (LPR) technology based heavy vehicle speed enforcement system that requires relatively minimal initial investment and no increase in enforcement personnel, cruisers, or pursue/pull-over activities. The efficiency of the system is achieved by catching speeding trucks in the act and then enforcing the law at weigh stations, which all trucks, with few exceptions, are required to enter. The configuration of the system for the Knoxville, TN study site is presented. Strategic placement of LPR units on I-40 and I-75 enables the speed tracking and enforcement process. Identified trucks are checked against the CVEIW national database for additional inspection, enforcement, and citation activities.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - Computer Engineering, grade: A+, Gandhi Institute of Engineering and Technology, language: English, abstract: With increasing number of population and higher rate of development the problem of road accident is also increasing rapidly. So the basic concept is to develop a model that can be useful as a security system in the society and can monitoring the vehicle speed. A License Plate Recognition (LPR) System is one kind of an Intelligent Transport monitoring System and is of considerable interest because of its potential applications in highway electronic toll collection and traffic monitoring systems. This type of applications puts high demands on the reliability of an LPR System. A lot of work has been done regarding LPR systems for Korean, Chinese, European and US license plates that generated many commercial products. However, little work has been done for Indian license plate recognition systems. The purpose of this thesis was to develop a real time application which recognizes license plates from cars at a gate, for example at the entrance of a parking area or a border crossing. The system, based on regular PC with video camera, catches video frames which include a visible car license plate and processes them. Once a license plate is detected, its digits are recognized, displayed on the User Interface or checked against a database. The focus is on the design of algorithms used for extracting the license plate from a single image, isolating the characters of the plate and identifying the individual characters. The proposed system has been implemented using Vision Assistant 7,1 and LabVIEW 7,1. The performance of the system has been investigated on real images of about 100 vehicles. The recognition of about 98% vehicles shows that the system is quite efficient.

Book Synopsis Car License Plate Detection by : Naikur Bharatkumar Gohil
Download or read book Car License Plate Detection written by Naikur Bharatkumar Gohil and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In last couple of decades, the number of vehicles has increased drastically. With this increase, it is becoming difficult to keep track of each vehicle for purpose of law enforcement and traffic management. License Plate Recognition is used increasingly nowadays for automatic toll collection, maintaining traffic activities and law enforcement. Many techniques have been proposed for plate detection, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The basic step in License Plate Detection is localization of number plate. The approach mentioned in this project is a histogram based approach. This approach has an advantage of being simple and thus faster. Initially, license plate localization is implemented using MATLAB and verified for its functionality. Once the functionality is verified, the algorithm is implemented on EVM320DM6437 Texas Instrument (TI) Digital Video Development Starter Kit (DVDSK). By implementing this algorithm on a kit, we eliminate need of computers and thus think of portable implementation of such application. In this approach, a digital camera is used to capture video and feed it to the kit. The kit processes each frame individually and provides the co-ordinates of location with maximum probability of having a number plate. Later, this information is used for recognizing actual number of the license plate. The plate detection algorithm is implemented in C, compiled and debugged using Code Composer Studio (CCS), an IDE provided by TI. Successful demonstrations were given by downloading the algorithm onto TI's EVM320DM6437 DVDSK.
Book Synopsis Matching Vehicle License Plate Numbers Using License Plate Recognition and Text Mining Techniques by : Francisco Moraes de Oliveira-Neto
Download or read book Matching Vehicle License Plate Numbers Using License Plate Recognition and Text Mining Techniques written by Francisco Moraes de Oliveira-Neto and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: License plate recognition (LPR) technology has been widely applied in many different transportation applications such as enforcement, vehicle monitoring and access control. In most applications involving enforcement (e.g. cashless toll collection, congestion charging) and access control (e.g. car parking) a plate is recognized at one location (or checkpoint) and compared against a list of authorized vehicles. In this research I dealt with applications where a vehicle is detected at two locations and there is no list of reference for vehicle identification. There seems to be very little effort in the past to exploit all information generated by LPR systems. In nowadays, LPR machines have the ability to recognize most characters on the vehicle plates even under harsh practical conditions. Therefore, although the equipment is not perfect in terms of plate reading, it is still possible to judge with certain confidence if a pair of imperfect readings, in the form of sequenced characters (strings), most likely belongs to the same vehicle. The challenge here is to design a matching procedure in order to decide whether or not they originated from the same vehicle. In view of the aforementioned problem, this research intended to design and assess a matching procedure that takes advantage of a similarity measure called edit distance (ED) between two strings. The ED measures the minimum editing cost to convert a string to another. The study first attempted to assess a simple case of a dual LPR setup using the traditional ED formulation with 0 or 1 cost assignments (i.e. 0 if a pair-wise character is the same, and 1 otherwise). For this dual setup, this research has further proposed a symbol-based weight function using a probabilistic approach having as input parameters the conditional probability matrix of character association. As a result, this new formulation outperformed the original ED formulation. Lastly, the research sought to incorporate the passage time information into the procedure. With this, the performance of the matching procedure improved considerably resulting in a high positive matching rate and much lower (less than 2%) false matching rate.
Book Synopsis Car License Plate Recognition Using Template Matching Algorithm by : Pramod S. Kapadia
Download or read book Car License Plate Recognition Using Template Matching Algorithm written by Pramod S. Kapadia and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: License Plate Recognition or LPR is an image-processing technology used to identify vehicles by their license plates. This technology is used in various applications involving security, traffic, law enforcement, public safety and transportation sectors. It mainly uses software code that enables computer systems to read automatically the registration number (license number) of vehicles from digital pictures. The project explains various algorithms that are exercised to recognize the characters present on the California Car License Plate. One of them is Template Matching algorithm that has an ability to store the information of a particular size template in the form of four 16-bit vectors and apply it for recognizing the characters. This feature of the algorithm mentioned above helped in achieving faster character recognition of the license plate. This process of character recognition consists of steps like Image processing, Defragmentation, Resizing and Character localization that are required to be performed on the image in order for Template Matching to be done. The final goal of the project was to simulate these algorithms initially on Microsoft Visual Studio using Open CV libraries. Once this was established, the design was transferred on the TI's video development platform DM6437 DVDP for testing and performance analysis. The earlier mentioned algorithmic steps were written in C programming language and demonstration of the project was successfully presented on the TI's DSP board EVM320DM6437.
Book Synopsis License Plate Recognition (phase B) by : Lee D. Han
Download or read book License Plate Recognition (phase B) written by Lee D. Han and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology has been used for off-line automobile enforcement purposes. The technology has seen mixed success with correct reading rate as high as 60 to 80% depending on the specific application and environment. This limitation can be, and is often, remedied through human verification after the fact and before a citation is issued. Armed with advanced text-mining algorithms, this study enables LPR technology for real-time enforcement by matching plates whether correctly or incorrectly read at various locations in a network or along a corridor and, hence, tracking the movement and speed of vehicles. The focus of the project is on heavy vehicles as they are required to enter weigh stations, where the LPR tracking information can be used, in real time, for speed enforcement and/or as a triggering factor for other inspection activities. The initial objective of the study was to devise an inexpensive and effective means for helping improve air quality in non-attainment metropolitan areas through speed enforcement. The successful deployment of such a measure can also potentially lead to improved highway safety, fuel efficiency, and national security. It is desirable to deploy this technology in a larger scale to realize the benefits and potential.

Download or read book Enforcement of Regulations on Commercial Vehicles written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) has increased the number of dangerous commercial vehicles that it removes from the roads from 28,900 in 2007-08 to 36,500 in 2008-09, but the Agency could make better use of its resources and the effectiveness of its roadside checks is constrained. VOSA relies heavily on roadside checks to enforce regulations, carrying out around 252,000 checks in 2008-9. VOSA's approach is more effective in targeting vehicles which do not comply with roadworthiness regulations but most accidents are caused by driver performance and driver behaviour. The police are responsible for enforcing road traffic laws and dealing with breaches but the Agency could use roadside checks and operator visits to educate drivers and operators about road safety. It does not have a comprehensive education programme for operators or drivers. The effectiveness of VOSA's roadside checks is constrained. Some stopping sites are no longer at strategically important locations owing to changes in the road network over time. Sites can also be rendered inoperable by local roadworks or diversions. The Agency's delegated powers to stop vehicles are provided inconsistently across Britain. The Agency's ability to target risky commercial vehicles entering the UK is limited by a lack of access to ship manifest and other information held by Government and because VOSA cannot always inspect incoming vehicles at ports. Not all sanctions can be deployed effectively against foreign drivers and the Agency has no direct power to impose sanctions on foreign operators.
