Environmental zones

City centres have congestion charging or prohibit entry by vehicles that have (old) polluting engines. Our scanning equipment detects all vehicles and matches the license plate to vehicle registration databases with information on engine type or age. Special permit white lists may be checked as well. Information on unlawful vehicles can be sent directly to the organisation that can issue a fine. Colour images are made for evidence purposes.

Advantages of our static products:

• Cost saving in areas with few entries and exits
• All passing vehicles are recorded

Advantages of our static products:

• Flexible deployment in location and timing, multi-functional
• More efficient where many roads that give access to the area

Suspect vehicles

Police, governmental vehicle registration institutions, insurance companies and bailiffs use scanning equipment to find cars that are stolen or have the wrong license plates for example. Our scanning vehicles detect up to 2000 vehicles per hour. Checks are done against black lists or vehicle registration databases.

Immediate follow up is an option with instant notification including a digital map with the exact location of the suspect vehicle.
