Vehicle Tracking

Auto number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Since March 2005 the Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (ACPO) have been implemented a strategy for ANPR (Automatic Number plate Recognition) for the police service.  A strategy designed with the key objective of denying criminals use of our roads.

The strategy – backed by government funding – set out a plan to develop a network of ANPR-enabled CCTV cameras and readers located nationally at strategic sites linked to the central ANPR data centre and supported by new ‘intercept’ teams of police enforcement.

Based around roadside CCTV, ANPR solutions deliver a snapshot of the passing vehicle’s registration number which is immediately run against the national database to flag up a range of offences from stolen vehicles to non-payment of tax and insurance.

For the police to be able effectively use ANPR data it needs to be transmitted and checked speedily so that the intercept team can act on it in a timely fashion and the transmission media needs to be sufficiently secure and robust that it can’t be jammed or hacked by the more sophisticated criminals.

For Private use in large scale businesses or business parks, the movement of vehicles can be monitored and associates with registered ownership. Non registered vehicles are stored for consultation with law enforcement agencies.

Public roads surrounding special buildings and the public approaches to them, can also be monitored for suspect vehicles or people. Talk to GNS about our co-ordinated approach to creating virtual defendable perimeters.
