Is not just a special Camera
Has Analytics to provide instant intelligence
Instant alerts based on comparing the
plates to a database
Reads at high vehicle speeds
Interprets “fuzzy” reads
Provides for automated: Inventories,
enforcement, and revenue enhancement
 Pays for itself quickly
A myriad of uses for LPR that are
merely based on available data
Case Study :: City of Aspen
City of Aspen, Install IP License
Plate Recognition System to
Monitor and Manage Parking


At any given time, an
average of 20% of cars
parked in residential
areas were in violation
of the no re-park
ordinance.
With a 12X18 block area,
the team allocated
to Aspen's residential
parking enforcement
was not physically able
to patrol the entire area
in a day.
The Solution



Two Go-4 Interceptor parking enforcement vehicles were
outfitted with fixed-mounted AutoVu Sharp cameras, and
each vehicle was provided a touch-screen computer.
On the first pass, the officer selects the zone he is about to
enforce, then the officer simply drives through the zone at
full cruising speed, with the cameras and computer storing
the license plate information in an on-board database.
Later, on the second pass, the officers will be automatically
alerted if a vehicle is in violation of the time-limit regulations.

Cal State University, Fullerton purchased one License Plate
System in August, 2008 and by January, 2009 collected nearly
$20,000 in fines.
Cal State University, Northridge conducted a 2-hour
demonstration before purchasing two systems. During the
demo, the system identified five chronic parking violators.
Boots were placed on the vehicles resulting in the collection
of over $3,000.
Arizona State University conducted a 90-minute
demonstration before purchasing two systems. During the
demo, the system identified 82 chronic parking violators. Had
ASU had a sufficient number of boots to place on the
vehicles, they would have collected over $10,000.
LPR in Law Enforcement
Results from a municipal police demonstration period of
twenty days, amounting to approximately 200 hours of
continuous plate reading. During that time, the system read
71,848 license plates and instantaneously compared each one
to an in-car hotlist to see if any were considered a vehicle of
interest.

Avis uses AutoVu for Fleet Management
Inventory Management & Security
Vehicle are being taken straight from owners' driveways, but more so in largely
dispersed parking areas such as shopping malls or headquarter buildings where
theft can be more discreet. Avis Budget Group had an even tougher challenge, as
continuous vehicle movement let perpetrators blend in with regular in-out activity.

Inventory Management
Managing vehicle inventory levels at all locations. "We used to call each
location, but now we can actually see how many cars are parked at the
location, and how many people need to be sent to transport vehicles.

Total Security in One System
Avis Budget Group invested in some access control readers and video
cameras which are also positioned at each lane with the LPR cameras at all
three locations, to capture badge credentials and video footage of drivers
and cars entering and exiting each facility, using Genetec.

Instantly Tag End-of-Service Vehicles
The AutoVu system within the Security Center also now includes hotlist
matching of vehicles that are scheduled for buy-back. Avis operators
receive an alarm when a vehicle on the buy-back list is identified as
entering the facility.
Genetec AutoVu Sharp
The Sharp extends LPR coverage to areas with limited
network connectivity by combining camera,
processing and streaming equipment in a single
rugged device.
