Integrated Plate Recognition and Speed Detection for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Recognizing a vehicle's plate number is equivalent to identifying its identity and associating it to any good and bad road behaviors, e.g., driving at the prescribed road speed. Such recognition and identification is an integral part of an intelligent transportation system and future smart city. In this paper, we propose an integrated system of identifying a vehicle's plate number and associating it with its instantaneous speed. Experimental results illustrate a relatively higher percentage of plate number identification and recognition and overspeeding detection.
