INEX/ZAMIR (INEX Technologies) has completed in-house trials and integration of the SICK LMS211 laser device. INEX/ZAMIR is the recognized front runner for ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) in high-speed toll violation enforcement applications with several hundreds of lanes awarded in just the past few years alone. Open road tolling (ORT) systems require the ability to capture and accurately read license plates of vehicles traveling at speeds up to 200 km/h, or 120+ mph. INEX/ZAMIR needed a device that could trigger their ALPR system reliably at those speeds and the SICK device met that requirement; it is already successfully deployed on high-speed tolling systems in many parts of the world.
