Smart CCTV Supports Atkins Transport Systems on the M6

Smart CCTV Ltd supported Atkins Transport Systems in their FOND (Fibre Optic Network Detector) tests for the Highways Agency, on 05.09.2006. The test were conducted between Junctions 13 and 14 of the M6 North Bound.

We were involved in the final part of the test, the performance stage. We mounted a Vega Long Range camera on the top of a People Carrier and recorded number plates and images of vehicles traveling in the inside lane of the motorway.

We where able to read plates 35-40 metres away with-out having to add extra IR lighting. The only change we made to the camera was to fit a 50mm Mega Pixel lens.The images were used to check the information from the sensor and to find vehicles of interest on the recorded footage.

As you can see from the images below the weather conditions were very poor as the spray caused from vehicles passing, affecting the quality of the image. However the camera was able to read the plates on these images.
