Typical applications for roads and traffic

Challenging conditions in traffic areas, including high speeds and fluctuations in ambient light, require cameras with sensitive sensors and global shutter technology to produce clear images with short exposure times. Image quality is particularly essential for automatic license plate recognition (ANPR), which is a key technology in modern traffic systems.

License plate recognition

License plates on vehicles are recognized through imaging. This simplifies access control, automates tolling systems, and makes speeding traceable.

Traffic monitoring

Monitoring systems observe traffic flow, including detecting traffic congestion and accidents, to ensure the fastest possible intervention.

Traffic controls

Camera systems can penalize actions like speeding or running red lights with the ultimate goal of preventing serious accidents and saving lives.

Tolling systems

While many tolling systems are based on transponder technology, additional camera systems may be required for security reasons or to identify toll evaders.
