VITRONIC Machine Vision Polska Sp. z o.o. has introduced new patrol vehicles for the automatic enforcement of tolls charged by the new Polish toll collection system, e-TOLL. The technical features of the new vehicles were presented at a press conference held by the Polish Ministry of Finance in Stryków.
At the heart of 102 patrol vehicles is Enforcement Bar, which enables automatic recognition of number plates (ANPR) and 15 different vehicle classes. The delivered systems will be used in Poland to enforce payment for the new Toll Collection System of the National Revenue Administration. The system’s technology makes it possible to recognize number plates in four directions. Even at high vehicle speeds, the systemis able toachieve an efficiency rate of 98%.
Our systems can recognize number plates while the patrol vehicle is both parked or in motion, day or night. Enforcement Bar, which is mounted on the roof of the patrol vehicle, recognizes and identifies approaching vehicles that can be traveling at speeds up to 250 km/h.
Enforcement Bar is the all-in-one mobile automatic number plate recognition system. Thanks to the application of an innovative solution developed by VITRONIC, the officers or operators can immediately verify the numbers plate of passing vehicles, parked or in motion, and classify vehicles by size categories. The system transmits the collected data to the Electronic Toll Collection System, where they are checked in database.
VITRONIC has won the tender for the supply of 32 estate cars and 70 self-supporting vans. According to the contract, Ford Focus and Ford Transit Custom cars equipped with Enforcement Bar will be delivered by the end of 2021 to increase road safety in Poland.
