VI. Additional Applications<br />

The license plate recognition <strong>and</strong> speed detection system we have designed <strong>and</strong><br />

implemented for this project can be further extended to other types <strong>of</strong> applications. One such<br />

application would consist <strong>of</strong> a traffic display that would flash a driver’s license number <strong>and</strong><br />

warning message if the driver were speeding. Similar systems exist today. These speed display<br />

signs flash the driver’s speed as well as a customized message according to the driver’s speed.<br />

Fig. 47 Example <strong>of</strong> variable message traffic displays<br />

Our system would flash the driver’s speed as well as display the driver’s license plate number in<br />

the customized message. An example message could read “<strong>License</strong> Number FDK425 has been<br />

recorded for speeding”. The effect would create more <strong>of</strong> a fear factor for the speeding driver. Our<br />

speed display sign could be built on top <strong>of</strong> our current license plate recognition system. The new<br />

system design would consist <strong>of</strong> a commercially available traffic display similar to the one shown<br />

above customized to communicate with our system. The new system is depicted in the diagram<br />

below.<br />
