Typical applications
Toll collection and violation enforcement
Accuracy rates of over 95% on readable license plates, and as high as 98%, have been achieved by Toll Vision solutions in actual Video Enforcement Systems (VES). No other company has achieved these rates under realistic operational test conditions.
Open Road Tolling (ORT)
Toll Vision hardware and software are core elements in systems that collect road tolls cost-effectively without the need for toll booth installations and radio frequency transponders. VISCAM helps these multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) tolling projects to maximize vehicle identification for toll collection or violation enforcement.
Section/average speed control
Unlike simple “speed traps”, average speed enforcement systems track vehicles over longer distances by matching plate numbers or vehicle images to determine if enforcement action is required.
Congestion charging
Toll Vision imaging systems are being used in leading-edge projects that charge road users who congest specific areas and/or times. The goal is to encourage smarter driving habits and the use of public transportation.

Scalable server software
Using either Toll Vision-sourced
or your own hardware, the Image Server can be scaled to support multiple VISCAM systems simultaneously for plate finding, plate reading, fingerprint generation, attachment of lane controller information,and/or generating a VDT (Vehicle Detection Tag).
Integration with AI tools
The Image Server platform can also support the use of the latest generation of AI functions for occupant recognition,
class of vehicle, color of vehicle, and more.
Patented "Matcher" tool
Toll Vision's patented “Matcher” software uses distinctive elements within images to create a visual identification “fingerprint” that is not dependent exclusively on the vehicle's number plate. This boosts read rates by enabling vehicles to be automatically identified even when ANPR can't make a conclusive ID.
Image Server & Vehicle Recognition Suite (VRS)
Powerful, customizable traffic software
Toll Vision imaging solutions are supported by a collection of software tools designed to maximize the accuracy, efficiency, and enforceability of your ITS application. Tools include Image Server software to perform various pre-processing tasks, pass images to a file store, database or lane controller, and generate Vehicle Detection Tags on captured images; a Vehicle Recognition Suite (VRS) which can simultaneously feed images to two or more leading ANPR packages and intelligently combine the results for the highest read rates, highest confidence, and lowest number of errors needing manual review; and patented “Matcher” software which can create a visual “fingerprint” to identify vehicles even when plate reading fails or is limited by privacy concerns or application requirements.
