Duluth, GA, February 26, 2025 – Kapsch TrafficCom is proud to highlight the capabilities of its
latest Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) engine, specifically designed for the North American
market.
This innovative solution marks a significant leap forward in performance, versatility, and cost
efficiency, setting new standards in license plate recognition technology. As part of the wider
tolling offering, the technology is a key building block for delivering state-of-the-art tolling
technology.
A Revolutionary Approach to ANPR
Building on the success of regional ANPR engines introduced in Europe and Australia in 2023, Kapsch
TrafficCom has now expanded its advanced technology to North America. Unlike traditional
project-specific engines, the new ANPR engine is designed to serve multiple projects across the
region, offering unparalleled accuracy and reliability. The ANPR engine leverages deep learning
technology to enhance recognition capabilities.
“A newly developed deep neural network specifically for North America ensures precise identification
of license plates from 58 jurisdictions, including all mainland US states, Hawaii, Mexico, and the
most relevant Canadian provinces,” explains Chris Jones, Director of Video Transaction Optimization
at Kapsch TrafficCom North America.
JB Kendrick, President at Kapsch TrafficCom North America, adds: “Our newest and most robust engine
can accurately identify over 150 plate types, focusing on the most widely used designs and ensuring
easy scalability to include additional types as needed. While it is not a stand-alone product, it is
a key building block for our existing and future roadside tolling clients. These investments in
continuous enhancements exemplifies our conviction to improve all our technologies.”
Meeting the Challenges of North American Diversity
North America presents unique challenges for ANPR systems due to the vast variety of license plate
designs, syntaxes, and allowed characters. The new Kapsch TrafficCom engine has been meticulously
trained to handle these complexities, delivering exceptional performance even in challenging
scenarios.
With deployment in several projects already underway, the new ANPR engine is set to take license
plate recognition in North America to the next level, significantly reducing manual review costs by
improving the percentage of plates read automatically.
A Collaborative Global Effort
The development of the North American ANPR engine is a testament to the power of cross-regional
collaboration within Kapsch TrafficCom. Experts from across the globe worked together to create a
solution tailored to the specific demands of the North American market, helping tolling clients
achieve greater operational efficiency and prepare for future demands.
