Metrici introduces vehicle classification in its latest software release. The LPR detection engine can now distinguish and report the type of vehicle it detects — 6 types/classes of vehicles: motorbike, car, SUV/Pickup, van, bus, and truck, all powered by Metrici's proprietary training algorithm.
Every LPR detection now includes the vehicle type alongside the license plate in the database.
Thanks to Metrici's AI software, classification works even in low-light conditions and at night.

The new feature also brings security advantages — enabling more accurate, precise detections with lower infrastructure investment.
Metrici can automatically trigger LPR detection the moment it identifies a vehicle in the video stream. Developed as a versatile solution across multiple scenarios, it serves as a security feature, logging events even when a vehicle lacks a license plate.
Processing requirements are significantly reduced without compromising performance — especially useful in parking, weighing stations, and toll applications, where LPR detection begins only when a vehicle enters the frame.
Optimize infrastructure and increase toll gate revenue based on traffic volume and vehicle type. Classify vehicles automatically for dynamic pricing.
Monitor traffic load and vehicle types. Reduce revenue losses from human errors in ticketing systems that classify vehicles by type.
Trigger LPR only when a vehicle enters the frame. Reduce processing power while maintaining full detection accuracy.
Vehicle classification is a powerful traffic management tool — ideal for motorways, highways, car parks, and rest area access roads.

Thanks to rapid advances in deep learning, video analytics automates tasks once performed exclusively by humans — and Metrici excels at it.
The solution has proven invaluable in transport, accelerating smart city development.
Rising traffic volumes can lead to more accidents and congestion. Metrici helps and can be configured to take traffic management measures based on intelligent video analysis solutions.
Traffic analytics can dynamically adjust traffic light timing and monitor congestion in real time. It can also detect dangerous situations — a vehicle stopped in a prohibited zone, wrong-way driving, or accident victims.
Vehicle counting and differentiating between cars, trucks, buses, and more generates high-value statistics used to obtain insights about traffic patterns.
All these solutions can be cross-referenced with the Metrici Observer Radar and Metrici LED displays for more precise control and driver guidance.
Instead of relying on sensors, inductive loops, or other hardware, a smart parking system can be built entirely on Metrici solutions — using the LPR, Parking Place Detector, and Area Counter engines.
All Metrici products can be integrated based on the specific use case to deliver the most advantageous solution. For example, an entire city — with parking lots, on-street parking, traffic, and traffic lights — can be managed from a single interface in one command centre, or automated to execute tasks when pre-established conditions are met.
Whether for industrial, commercial, residential, or city management, video analytics is becoming essential in applications featuring advanced LPR, object detection, classification, and automation.
