ANPR automatic number plate recognition

By standardising the number plate font and design- it's possible for ANPR software to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of number plates and trace this data back to the DVLA.

Petrol stations and the police have benefited greatly from the advent of automatic number plate recognition- numbers of drivers leaving forecourts without paying has been steadily decreasing and conviction rates increasing as the availability of information and the ease of data capture allowed by number plate recognition- allows a quick and simple reference to the DVLA computer.

Number plate recognition is also used in the congestion charge system in London and can process many thousands of vehicles of varying number plate types and styles- with shockingly accurate results.

Number plate recognition is set only to improve as the DVLA, the police and businesses such as petrol stations create new opportunities and innovations in the field.
