Abstract: A method for capturing vehicle information utilizing white light illumination, the method comprising the steps of: capturing, from a camera by a computing device, two or more near-infrared (NIR) or infrared (IR) images of a license plate of a vehicle; determining, by the computing device, whether the license plate was captured; in response to a determination that the vehicle's license plate was captured, determining if two or more images containing contiguous images of the vehicle's license plate were captured; in response to a determination that two or more images containing contiguous images of the vehicle's license plate were captured, determining, by the computing device, a target illumination zone and a time that the vehicle will pass through the target illumination zone; determining whether the vehicle is in the target illumination zone; in response to a determination that the vehicle is in the target illumination zone, initiating a pulse, by the computing device, of a white light; capturing, from the c
