LPR software in mobile traffic enforcement systems

Hi-Tech Solutions Ltd.'s (HTS) License Plate Recognition (LPR) software has been integrated with Sigmax's solutions for law enforcement: MobilePolice and CityControl. These digital solutions use the newest technology to simplify the tasks of law enforcement and supervision officers in police and in local authorities, using a mobile application on a handheld computer. HTS's LPR software uses a series of proprietary techniques to detect and enhance the number plate's image, and proprietary OCR to extract the license plate's alphanumerics. It includes self-developed Recognition Engine software for simple integration into other applications. Sigmax's CityControl for digital mobile enforcement its MobilePolice utlize the HTS LPR software, allowing capture of data integral to enforcement and record keeping. Mobile data are exchanged via GPRS so that issued tickets are immediately known at the police station. When an officer/inspector writes a ticket for a parking offense, the system enters the street name and thus speeds up the officer's work. The officers' locations can be seen in the emergency room, allowing the nearest colleagues to respond in case of violence.
