Automatic Systems, a world leader in the automation of secure entrance control, announces that its ParkPlus and TollPlus barriers are fully compatible with the ALPR technology and its mechanical and electronic components can be seamlessly integrated within the robust housing of the barriers.

Automatic Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a control method using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology on images taken by video cameras. Motorways and off-street parking are the sectors investing the most in ALPR technology. This technology offers more effective information management while minimising the equipment required, in order to increase return on investment.  According to an IHS study, the market for ALPR systems is set to reach over $800 million in 2018.
