ANPR automatic numberplate recognition

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

Petrol stations and the police have benefited greatly from the advent of automatic numberplate 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 numberplate recognition- allows a quick and simple reference to the DVLA computer.

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

Numberplate 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.
