Described herein is a monitoring system and a method fortracking vehicles comprising one or more optical readers configured to acquire at least two different machine-readable codes printed in different regions of a license plate mounted to a vehicle, wherein the one or more optical readers are configured as standard or long-range code scanners having a range of up to 21 meters. The monitoring system stores the machine-readable codes or associated data in an electronic database to reference a unique number assigned to a particular vehicle. The system acquires scans of the machine-readable codes to track vehicles, with reference to the electronic database, and may store information such as a time of day and a location of where the machine-readable codes associated with a particular vehicle was scanned, which may be further sorted in the database, to track the vehicle.
Il est décrit un système de surveillance et un procédé de suivi de véhicules comprenant un ou plusieurs lecteurs optiques configurés pour acquérir au moins deux codes différents lisibles par machine imprimés dans différentes régions d'une plaque d'immatriculation montée sur un véhicule, dans lequel le ou les lecteurs optiques sont configurés comme des scanners de code standard ou à longue portée ayant une portée allant jusqu'à 21 mètres. Le système de surveillance stocke les codes lisibles par la machine ou les données associées dans une base de données électronique pour référencer un numéro unique attribué à un véhicule particulier. Le système acquiert des balayages des codes lisibles par la machine pour suivre les véhicules, en se référant à la base de données électronique, et peut stocker des informations telles qu'une heure de la journée et un emplacement où les codes lisibles par la machine associés à un véhicule particulier ont été balayés, qui peuvent être encore triés dans la base de données, pour suivre le véhicule.
