Automatic Licence Plate Recognition Systems (ALPR) are common throughout the industrialized world. However, a new mobile Automatic Licence Plate Recognition System is now available in British Columbia, and may be cruising down a road near you soon.

This system can capture up to 3,000 license plates per hour. It has three cameras mounted outside the police vehicle.
Front left side
This camera is used to capture license plates of oncoming vehicles.
Front right side
This camera is used to capture license plates of cars in the right-hand lane (on a four or more lane road), as well as cars parked on the right side of the road.
Rear right-angle camera
This camera captures the license plates of parked cars in a parking lot.

Traffic surveillance camera can take pictures of the licenses of cars speeding by at up to 150 miles per hour.

150mph...

is that a relative speed or absolute? just wondering.. if both the police car and the other car both travel at 155mph, the camera also cannot take any pic?

the technology is here...but not fully use...as you can see nowdays highway got so many camera...it not only for traffic use...it do have other reason...

the camera is standard ...to record daily traffic...

the software of the Speed sensor is to detect our car speed....

software nowdays is getting more advance.....

true xbalance2002 .. but the camera is not fast shutter .. unable to get clearer number plates :) .. they spend small amt of money to maintain daily traffic .. Malaysia is big, not like Singapore ..

Small countries can get such technologies to limit and control their peoples.
