LPR + AI Classification + DNN

Automated Toll Collection

Seamless Vehicle Identification & Billing

LPR-based vehicle identification and AI classification for automated toll charging with subscription management.

LPR for Vehicle Identification

Use Metrici LPR technology to automatically read vehicle license plates as they approach the toll booth, linking them to toll accounts or generating toll charges.

  • Streamline the tolling process by eliminating the need for manual payment, allowing for seamless flow through toll stations
  • Special access lists with subscription clients for recurring revenue
  • Instant vehicle-to-account matching for automated billing

AI and DNN for Classification

Classify vehicles based on size, type, or other features, determining the appropriate toll charge automatically.

  • Metrici can distinguish 9 classes: small cars, SUV, van, small truck, big truck, motorcycle, bus, tram, utility vehicles
  • Differentiate tariffs based on vehicle type, number of axles, or weight
  • Automated calculation and easy-to-use interface to generate tickets
Traffic Flow Optimization

Real-Time Traffic Monitoring & Prediction

Line counters, area counters, and AI analytics to optimize toll plaza operations and reduce congestion.

Line Counter for Flow Monitoring

Use line counter to monitor the number of vehicles crossing toll gates in real time, even if they are virtual toll gates, detecting bottlenecks or traffic buildup and having access to data.

  • Cross-link with LPR readings for comprehensive vehicle tracking
  • Adjust the number of open toll lanes dynamically based on current traffic conditions
  • Improve overall traffic flow and reduce congestion at toll plazas

Area Counter for Vehicle Density

Monitor the density of vehicles within the toll plaza area using Metrici Area Counter. This helps detect when a particular area is overcrowded and prompts alerts to open additional toll booths.

  • Real-time occupancy monitoring of toll lanes and waiting areas
  • Automatic alerts when predefined thresholds are exceeded
  • Dynamic resource allocation based on live density data

AI for Traffic Prediction

Use predictive analytics with Metrici AI and historical data to forecast peak times at toll stations, ensuring sufficient toll lanes are open to accommodate traffic surges.

  • Historical pattern analysis for accurate demand forecasting
  • Proactive staffing and lane opening decisions
  • Reduce wait times during peak hours

Dynamic Lane Management

Combine data from multiple sensors and counters to dynamically adjust toll lane operations based on real-time conditions.

  • Open or close lanes based on traffic volume predictions
  • Designate lanes for specific vehicle types or subscription accounts
  • Emergency lane routing for high-priority vehicles
Fraud Prevention & Security

Intelligent Fraud Detection & Perimeter Security

Automated detection of toll violations, unauthorized lane usage, and security threats around toll stations.

🚫

LPR for Toll Violations

Automatically detect and record vehicles that cross toll gates without paying or that use unauthorized lanes, like emergency lanes or bus-only/subscription lanes for immediate alerts or future references.

  • Track vehicles without payment and emit alerts at the end of allowed time period if payment was not done
  • Flag vehicles and automatically issue fines or notifications to authorities
  • Comparison and history tracking for repeat offenders
  • Reduces toll evasion and revenue loss
  • Automated fine processing and enforcement
  • Comprehensive violation tracking and reporting
🛡️

Vehicle & Person Detection for Security

Use object recognition to detect unauthorized pedestrians or vehicles that approach sensitive areas around toll stations, ensuring the safety of toll personnel and equipment.

  • Perimeter monitoring for unauthorized access to toll equipment
  • Distinguish between authorized and unauthorized personnel
  • Alert security teams to potential threats in real-time
  • Enhanced protection of infrastructure
  • Real-time threat detection and response
  • Reduced need for manual security patrols
Toll Station Efficiency

Monitoring Performance & Operations

AI-driven insights into staff performance, vehicle flow, and operational efficiency across all toll lanes.

AI for Staff Efficiency

Use video analytics to monitor toll booth staff efficiency. The system can provide insights on average transaction times, delays, or irregularities, helping in staff training or scheduling optimizations.

  • Track average transaction times per lane and per operator
  • Identify bottlenecks and delays in the tolling process
  • Data-driven scheduling and training recommendations

Vehicle Flow Monitoring

Real-time monitoring of vehicle flow across multiple lanes can provide data on whether all lanes are operating efficiently and whether additional resources are needed during high-traffic periods.

  • Comprehensive lane-by-lane performance analytics
  • Automatic resource reallocation during peak periods
  • Historical trend analysis for long-term planning

Dynamic Pricing & Toll Adjustments

Smart Pricing Based on Real-Time Conditions

AI-powered dynamic pricing models and vehicle-type recognition for variable toll rates that adapt to traffic and vehicle characteristics.

AI for Dynamic Tolling

Implement AI-based dynamic pricing models that adjust toll rates based on real-time traffic conditions.

  • During peak hours, tolls may increase to manage traffic flow
  • During off-peak times, tolls may decrease to encourage usage
  • Balance demand and optimize revenue through intelligent pricing
  • Adaptive algorithms respond to real-time traffic patterns

Vehicle Type Recognition for Variable Pricing

Use Metrici object recognition capabilities to identify vehicle types and apply variable toll rates based on predefined classifications.

  • Recognize up to 9 vehicle classes: small cars, SUV, van, small truck, big truck, motorcycle, bus, tram, utility vehicles
  • Heavier trucks automatically pay higher toll rates
  • Special rates for motorcycles, buses, or utility vehicles
  • Customizable pricing rules per vehicle classification

Expiration Period Management

Use Metrici settings from the interface for ferry crossing and other time-limited toll scenarios. Set an expiration date for toll tickets, meaning a particular license plate has a defined period of time to pass.

  • Configurable expiration periods for subscription accounts
  • Ideal for ferry crossings, daily passes, and time-limited access
  • Automatic enforcement of time boundaries
  • Flexible configuration through the admin interface

Subscription & Account Management

Comprehensive subscription management for frequent toll users with automated billing and access control.

  • Monthly or annual subscription plans for regular commuters
  • Automated account linking via license plate recognition
  • Discounted rates for loyal, frequent users
  • Real-time account status verification at toll points
