: This is an interesting Wikipedia article about the
"congestion charge" levied on vehicles entering the busiest zone in
Central London. Apparently traffic was so bad here, that they charge
people $9 US for a day pass to drive in it.
Those sneaky Brits are too smart for mere tollbooths for
enforcement:
Two hundred and thirty CCTV-style cameras, of which 180
are installed at the edge of the zone, record a stream of video of
roads in the zone. There are also a number of mobile camera units
which may be deployed anywhere in the zone.
It is estimated that around 98% of vehicles moving within the zone
will be caught on camera. The video streams are then transmitted to a
data centre located in Central London where a computer system equipped
with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (OCR) software deduces the
registration plate of the vehicle.
Here's another good
article about the technology. I think the Brits have pioneered
this just because the numbers on the license plates are so
big.
