Cities are under pressure: more vehicles, tighter kerb sides, and rising expectations for safer, cleaner, faster journeys. Traditional manual counts and occasional surveys can’t keep pace with real-time conditions. What city teams need is always-on mobility intelligence that is actionable today and defensible for long-term planning. AI-based ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) delivers exactly that turning road cameras into continuous vehicle sensors that feed both operations and strategy from the same data stream. In this article, we’ll dive into how AI-based ANPR systems work and where they can make the difference as a solution to improve cities.
Read moreWhy real-time vehicle recognition is a game changer for security?
When something goes wrong on the road, seconds matter. A stalled vehicle, an unauthorized entry, a theft in progress—each demands instant awareness and a fast, coordinated response. Real-time vehicle recognition changes the equation by turning moving assets into live data streams and actionable alerts. The result is fewer blind spots, faster recovery when incidents occur, and a measurable boost to safety for drivers, assets, and the public. In this article, we’ll explore how real-time vehicle recognition is a game charger for security.
Read moreTop 5 Applications of ANPR Systems in Smart Cities
Cities are getting denser, roads are busier, and public expectations are higher. From congestion and illegal parking to inconsistent enforcement and rising operational costs, urban mobility challenges are piling up. Smart cities offer a path forward: data-driven decisions, automated enforcement, and seamless user experiences. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a key enabler turning ordinary cameras into intelligent sensors that help streets flow, rules stick, and services run smoothly. In this article, we’ll explore how ANPR systems help smart cities and highlight the top five applications driving safer, smoother urban mobility.
