Open Road Tolling: LPR Cameras for Toll Roads

Inex cameras for toll roads share a unified hardware/software platform, with models tailored for ALPR, DOT reading, axle counting, and other ITS applications.​

Our comprehensive camera lineup is the result of three decades dedicated to refining the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of ALPR technology for a variety of applications. We provide a versatile selection of ALPR cameras, designed for specific applications. To accommodate deployment-specific needs and variations in license plate design, we have developed specialized sub-models optimized for all possible installation and operational conditions. Inex cameras can capture ALPR data from distances as close as 5 ft (1.5 m) to over 80 ft (24 m). The systems are designed to produce crystal-clear images under all lighting conditions, ranging from 0 LUX to direct sunlight exposure. Our cameras operate in extremely cold climates, from -40°F (-40°C), as well as in extremely hot environments, up to 152°F (70°C). 

Sharing the same core AI-based algorithms, our cameras leverage multispectral imaging for reliable acquisition under varying lighting conditions, including direct sunlight, and of all license plate types, including non-reflective plates. Adjustable features, such as motorized zoom lenses and multiple focal length options, are configured based on roadway design requirements.

Our cameras support triggered, non-triggered, on-demand and hybrid operational modes. Triggered mode activates upon receiving an external signal, while non-triggered mode relies on automatic vehicle detection through video. On-demand mode continuously captures data while only transmitting license plate information upon receiving a trigger signal. Hybrid mode combines these approaches, operating normally in a triggered state, but allowing the camera to be externally triggered to record images even if no vehicles are detected by video.
Our premium IZA800 camera series is specifically engineered for toll road environments, featuring a frame rate adept at capturing the license plates of vehicles at high speeds. With an onboard NPU-equipped processing unit, these cameras handle all image processing internally, streamlining the output of license plate numbers through a web service API. This innovation enhances system efficiency and reliability by reducing the amount of hardware needed at toll plazas.

Designed with system reliability in mind, a standard toll road gantry setup includes two IZA800 cameras aimed in the same direction, incorporating multiple redundancies to safeguard against potential failures. Should an IR or color camera malfunction, the system is built to ensure only minimal impact on performance. Moreover, if a processing unit fails, the system automatically reroutes image processing tasks to a secondary IZA800 unit, maintaining continuous operation without significant loss of functionality. This robust design philosophy ensures that the IZ800 series stands at the forefront of reliability and efficiency in toll road applications.
