• Not suitable for following license plates
• Size and different background/foreground colors
• Character sets such as cursive words, special
  plates
• Proprietary to European number plates which are
  standardized
• Low recognition rate

Applications Policing

• License Plates automatically compared with 3rd
  party system (police database).
• Black listed vehicles, stolen vehicles or
  suspected can be matched and within few seconds
  the last location of the vehicle can be obtained.
• Cameras at strategic locations on major roads or
  can be mounted in police cars for immediate
  recognition and response.

15
Applications Access Control

• Alleviates traffic bottlenecks at parking
  facilities and gated communities by allowing free
  flow of traffic.
• Registered vehicles pass freely while
  un-registered vehicles are denied automatic
  entry.
• Fast and responsive, allowing for the free flow
  of traffic without driver aggravation.

16
Applications Border Control

• Records each vehicle license plate entering or
  exiting the border.
• Check for the nationality (SG, MY, THAI).
• Alert on black listed vehicles identification for
  the immigration officer to take required
  measures.
• Can be linked with police database to summon/take
  action against foreign vehicle drivers which
  committed any offence on the road during the
  length of the stay.

17
Applications Revenue Parking

• Resolves lost ticket and fee disputes with
  factual evidence.
• Provides additional financial controls needed by
  assisting advanced unmanned payment systems (such
  as pay-on-foot and credit card express lanes).
• High-tech evidence persuades customers to abandon
  fraudulent claims and deters future attempts.
• Provides summary reports, such as entry/exit
  transaction, active/inactive inventory, vehicle
  history manual review.

18
CARPET Implementations

• Eight Peninsular borders of Malaysia for border
  control application and Levi collection. The
  system recognizes license plates registered in
  Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
• APIIT-UCTI for secure access allowing access to
  the car park to only those who are registered
  with the system
• Police Headquarters for access control
• Test is being conducted by the biggest highway
  operators in Malaysia.
