.: LOOK - Use Cases

EXAMPLES OF THE LOOK SYSTEM USAGE

• Vehicle check and search in special interest databases - to search for stolen or other special interest vehicles in the database. When matched, both visual and sound alarms are pronounced. This is the function the Czech Police uses, but the same can be useful for other subjects – insurance, executor offices, petrol stations, commercial centers and more. In principle, anyone who needs to fast check large amounts of vehicles, which is not just slow, but also difficult and with a high error rate when performed manually for a longer time.
• Automatic vehicle traffic recording with alarm invocation - when an unknown vehicle in a closed area or a blacklisted vehicle in an open area is found, an alarm will be displayed and sounded, as above. The exit event is paired with the entry event for the same car, allowing the parking time to be measured. In case of charged parking sites, the plate number can be printed on the parking ticket and it can be used to ensure the ticket was not swapped between cars. It is also easy to document photographically the vehicle state at arrival time, which can be searched by the registration number easily later.
• Railway wagon and cargo container traffic recording - this feature can be easily added, resulting in complex information about the time and wagon on which the container arrived and about the registration number of the truck, which moved the container further from the logistic center.
• Entry system with automatic gate opening to approved vehicles - can serve all vehicles or coexist with other access modes – for instance, one company’s employees use RFID cards and another uses the Look System, both on the same gate. All vehicles can be recorded or only approved ones. Rules can be checked – for instance, to avoid parking with more cars belonging to the same person at the same time, or maximum stay time, or to ensure the vehicle reached the final parking site – when more gates have to be driven through. Permission management can be distributed, multiuser, client application based. Permission can be permanent or temporary, with time limitations. The system can check and display operational states, like occupied state. Both summarized and detailed traffic reports can be created.
• Number plate recognition for access systems - this setup can, for instance, match plate numbers of trucks and trailers with the data entries obtained from the RFID card the driver has to use. The vehicle has to be approved for the specific gate in the access system’s database. When the vehicle was inspected by personnel, they trigger a logical input, and if all matches, it stores overview photographic documentation with data records and opens the gate.
• Near traffic monitoring - system for one or a group of vehicle neighborhoods with automatic evaluation of suspicious behavior and suggestions for the blacklist or whitelist.
• Number plate recognition for vehicle measurement devices like scales, chassis scanners, radioactivity, dangerous and illegal material detectors, X-rays, and similar, where the measured result has to be added with the plate number. This is most important with differential measuring devices, comparing previous and current values.
• Trip time measurement / section speed measurement - this measure can be advantageously used in telematic systems, giving more complex results compared to standard traffic measurement, allowing for real-time traffic analysis and modeling to manage traffic optimally.
• More functions can be bound together in one system.
