needed to communicate with the traffic display <strong>and</strong> also to receive the wireless signals being sent<br />

by the LPR system. A Via mini-ITX computer would be a good match for the requirements<br />

needed. Customized s<strong>of</strong>tware would also need to be created. Overall the system would be very<br />

similar to the system we developed for this project. However, instead <strong>of</strong> recording license plate<br />

<strong>and</strong> speed information to a file, they would be sent wirelessly to the remote computer connected<br />

to the traffic display sign.<br />

Another type <strong>of</strong> application our system could be extended to is a wireless network <strong>of</strong><br />

LPR/<strong>Speed</strong> detection systems connected together in a hierarchical star topology. The network<br />

would span across a city or town <strong>and</strong> be monitored by the local law enforcement. Each<br />

LPR/<strong>Speed</strong> system would record speeds <strong>and</strong> license plate numbers <strong>of</strong> passing cars <strong>and</strong> send the<br />

information to a centralized database. The database would be located at a local police station<br />

where police <strong>of</strong>ficers could watch traffic flow in real time. Each LPR system would be a node in<br />

the network that would communicate with other LPR systems using wireless technology. Zigbee<br />

technology could be used for this application as well. The diagram below depicts the network<br />

topology.<br />
