ANPR Hub System for Vehicle Entry Management in Residential Compounds

Introduction

In an effort to enhance security and simplify vehicle entry management in residential compounds, the ANPR Hub system was implemented in a residential community with over 3,000 vehicles. The objective was to provide an intelligent system for automatic license plate recognition, ensuring effortless and secure access through electronic gates—without the need for new cameras or hardware—while maintaining minimal operational costs.

Challenges Faced
  1. Traffic Management: The residential compound housed over 3,000 vehicles, requiring a system capable of efficiently and securely managing vehicle entry and exit.
  2. High Costs: Traditional systems, such as long-range readers, UHF tags, and access control panels, required significant investment for hardware procurement and sticker issuance for each vehicle, along with associated operational costs.
  3. Security Concerns: Ensuring that only authorized vehicles were granted entry was a priority. The system needed to prevent unauthorized vehicles, (such as trucks) from accessing restricted gates. Unlike traditional systems where stickers could be transferred between vehicles, the ANPR Hub system verified vehicle entry by reading and matching license plates with the database.
Implemented Solution

The ANPR Hub system was deployed, utilizing advanced Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology. This solution accurately read vehicle license plates, identified vehicle type and plate color, captured images of vehicles and drivers, and validated entry permissions through electronic gates.

Solution Details
  • Integration with Surveillance Cameras: The ANPR Hub system was linked to existing surveillance cameras at the electronic gates, eliminating the need for new hardware installations.
  • License Plate Recognition: When a vehicle approached the gate, the system read its license plate and checked if it was registered and authorized for entry.
  • Vehicle Type Identification: The system distinguished between private cars, trucks, and taxis, allowing or denying access based on designated gate policies.
  • Image Capture: A photo of the vehicle, driver, and license plate was saved, enhancing security and providing a visual log of each entry.
  • Automated Gate Control: Once a vehicle was verified, the gate opened automatically, reducing manual intervention and facilitating smooth traffic flow.
Cost Comparison with Traditional Solutions
  • Cost-Effective Solution: The ANPR Hub significantly reduced costs compared to traditional solutions like long-range readers and UHF tags, eliminating the need for purchasing and maintaining stickers for each vehicle.
  • Lower Operational Costs: The system required no recurring expenses for access cards or sticker replacements, ensuring long-term financial savings.
Achieved Benefits
  1. Enhanced Security: Only authorized vehicles were allowed entry, improving overall security within the residential compound.
  2. Efficient Traffic Management: The intelligent system automated vehicle entry and exit, reducing congestion and improving traffic flow.
  3. Cost Savings: The elimination of additional hardware purchases, such as UHF tags, made the system a more economical solution.
  4. Improved Resident Experience: Smart, automated gates minimized wait times and facilitated hassle-free access. Comprehensive
  5. Reporting & Analytics: The system maintained a detailed log of all vehicle movements, allowing for easy review of incidents or queries.

 

The ANPR Hub system has proven to be an innovative and effective solution for managing vehicle entry in residential compounds. It enhanced security, simplified access, and significantly reduced operational costs compared to traditional systems. With this smart solution, the residential compound successfully managed over 3,000 vehicles efficiently and securely while maintaining cost-effectiveness and high performance.
