Back to working my pile of potential investments, been going through vendors who have contracts in this title. I mean, that pile of notes I keep on the lower right, investment stuff. Really just a pile of unorganized notes, but somewhere in that pile are companies who will do very well making traffic synchronize on our roads.
Using cameras and digital to read license plates is great, cheap, no hassle, works great. Companies who have their nose in that door get bigger opportunities later. Like this article in photonics. I go through that market, what I can see on the web, and try to filter in a bunch of companies who show up.
Manhattan is doing license plate reading, London does it. Congestion pricing ultimately allows communities to sell low cost, guaranteed flow to freight. Gaining that economy of scale from channelizing traffic, transportation costs drop fast.
For traffic planners, here is a note from the article:
"Advanced Technologies srl of Milan and Sinartis srl of Cassano Magnago, both in Italy, took up the task of designing and installing the system in just six months. License plate reading equipment is in use in many places around the world, and the companies met the key requirements for this project by using an off-the-shelf system, rather than starting from scratch."
Key 'get off the shelf', go modular and easy to install.
