To check the increasing road accidents by heavy vehicles in the city, the district police have decided to install Automatic Number Plate Recognition System
(ANPR) on eight entry points in the city.
For the purpose, cameras would be installed and this would automatically check whether any vehicle has entered the city within prescribed entry time from 11 pm to 7 am.
DSP (Traffic) Basant Kaul told ‘The Pioneer’ that capture the registration number of vehicles entering the city and leaving the city would be the main aim of the system. The company that would equip the entry points with this system has completed the survey and the work of the installation would start soon.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition (or as frequently called 'number plate recognition') is a special form of optical character recognition (OCR). license plate recognition (lPR) is a type of technology, mainly software that enables computer systems to read automatically the registration number (license number) of vehicles from digital pictures.
The vendor Honeywell private limited has been assigned to complete the work. The purpose of the system would be to record the registration number plate of the vehicle at the time of the entry and at the time of the exit also the same process would be done.
The biggest advantage of installing the system would be better monitoring of crimes and criminals entering the city with ill intentions. During the investigations the recording would prove useful. It would be an automated system of storage which would delete after very one month.
Indore road, Bairagarh road, 11 mile at Hoshangabad road, lambhakheda, Vidisha trisection and Biaora trisection would be installed with the system.
