May 08 Industry – MobilityAutomatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)

Growing importance of video analysis for telematics and homeland security

Infrastructure Logistics has abilities in video detection and optical character recognition in postal area

Traffic Solutions has telematics solution know-how

Closing the Siemens portfolio GAP for ANPR:currently sourced in from 3rd parties with limited influence on pricing and product roadmaps

Joint synergy potential not yet exploited

Industry – Mobility Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)


Realization of “all-in-one” camera system with embedded number plate recognition software for

1 lane coverage 2 lane coverage

Based on the industry leadership Siemens Recognition Engine for postal applications

image processing address reading

High performance ANPR systems for toll payment and enforcement e.g. London Congestion Charging



Detect area of interest

Number plate tracking Optical character recognition & voting of results Select number plates

IR illuminationimage recording

Enhance image contrast Binarize and invert



Sales channels within Siemens Access control (SBT) Highway surveillance (TS, SBT) Journey time measurement (TS) Tunnel surveillance (SBT, TS) Tolling and enforcement (TS) Section speed control (TS) Police / cross-border control (SIS)

Status and planning R&D project started 2007 Fast time-to-market Product launch 01’2009



Less cameras – less investment and project costs - less maintenance efforts

Less manual efforts for post-processing and visual verification

Cost saving mounting options on roadside

Added value to customer solutions and further improvement of strategic position

Market success / potential

High-resolution camera for extended lane coverage up to 7m (2 lanes)

Outstanding recognition performance for tolling/enforcement up to 95% read rate

Extra bright illumination for extendedworking distance up to 30m

Scalable embedded PC platform foreasy system extension e.g. combined ANPR and traffic control system
