Bosch REG cameras produce crisp, high-resolution plate images and have on-board infrared illumination

Bosch REG License Plate Capture cameras are being used to capture license plates from vehicles traveling at highway speeds for a tolling application at Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in New Orleans. The 24-mile long bridge holds the distinction as the world’s longest bridge and carries an estimated 30,000 vehicles per day. REG cameras will provide high contrast images of license plates from vehicles traveling up to 100 miles per hour – day and night.

Problem: high-speed license plate capture

  • High-quality plate images required for tolling application
  • Highway speeds on Lake Pontchartrain Causeway caused inconsistent license plate capture
  • Especially poor imaging under low light
  • Conventional cameras produced poor image quality
  • Problems in plate capture caused inefficiencies in tolling system

Solution: REG cameras get the plate 24/7 at highway speeds

  • REG cameras produce crisp, high-resolution plate images
  • Definitive High-Contrast imaging technology allows REG cameras to capture plates from vehicles moving at 100 mph
  • On-board infrared illumination ensures effective performance day and night
  • Ambient Rejection technology overcomes reflectivity, glare, headlights, darkness and speed

Results: absolute performance in plate capture streamlines toll operations

  • Outstanding high-speed license plate capture
  • Effective operation under any lighting condition
  • Higher efficacy of tolling operations
  • Decreased loss of toll revenues
