  • Patent number: 10504363
    Abstract: A vehicle detection and classification system which comprises a plurality of proximity sensors is distributed in a fixed spatial array relative to a road such that a distance of each sensor to the nearest adjacent sensor is less than a minimum horizontal dimension of a vehicle to be detected. The array has a maximum dimension greater than the minimum horizontal dimension of a vehicle to be detected. Each of the sensors is configured to determine presence or absence of a vehicle and to communicate data regarding said presence determination to a data processing system, wherein the data processing system is configured to use data from a plurality of the sensors to detect and classify a vehicle on the road based on at least one dimension of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10053057
    Abstract: A vehicle (18) having a license plate tamper detection system comprising: a first sensor (4) arranged to provide monitor data corresponding to presence of a first license plate (20) on the vehicle; and a second sensor (6) arranged to provide reference data. The license plate tamper detection system is arranged to compare the monitor data with the reference data and generate a tampering event if the comparison yields more than a predetermined difference between the monitor data and the reference data.
