mvBlueLYNX-M7 aids Automatic Number Plate Recognition and vehicle counting.

More and more cities around the world try to control the traffic in order to avoid traffic congestions.
Examples would be LONDON and STOCKHOLM with their Congestion Charge.
The camera could be used to enforce the payment of the charge by registering the number plates "on the fly".
Number plate recognition for restricted areas (parking lots, companies, airports,....) car size classification, average speed cameras are also examples where you could use the camera.
Any toll plaza on a motorway would use these cameras as well. Also traffic frequency counts are an application field.

Alrad Flooded- The day the rain came down!!


On the 20th July 2007 the Alrad offices were flooded after heavy rains in Newbury. However due to a fantastic effort by all staff this has caused minimum disruption to business. The offices were flooded to a level of 2 feet. Fortunately flood waters receded quickly so salvage work was able to start very rapidly and services restored within a short period. The company can assure all customers and suppliers that normal service has now been restored although it could be some months before the building is back to looking like its old self.
