Quercus Technologies: Beyond License Plate Recognition

SmartLPR goes beyond traditional license plate reading by incorporating advanced vehicle identification capabilities. Thanks to its built-in Artificial Intelligence (QAI Inside), the system is able to automatically detect not only the license plate, but also the vehicle make, model and colour, as well as its type (motorcycle, car, van and truck).

This functionality is based on powerful AI algorithms embedded directly in the camera, enabling real-time analysis without the need for external systems. The result is a much more complete vehicle profile at every entry and exit.

The combination of multiple attributes (license plate, type, make, model and colour) enables the transition from basic identification to a complete and reliable vehicle identification. This improves traceability and helps identify vehicles even in situations where the license plate may be incorrect.

Key benefits for parking management

Enhanced security and verification

• Adds an extra layer of validation beyond the license plate
• Detects inconsistencies between the plate and the vehicle (fraud, duplicated or manipulated plates)
• Improves incident investigation and claims validation

Reduced errors and higher reliability
Systems that combine multiple recognition layers achieve higher levels of accuracy and performance:

• Automatic validation of reads
• Reduction of false positives
• Improved overall system accuracy
• Facilitates vehicle identification in critical environments and when the plate cannot be properly read (dirt, damage, etc.)

Improved user experience
More complete and accurate identification has a direct impact on the user journey:

• Faster and smoother access
• Fewer incidents and claims
• Increased trust in the system
• In situations such as lost tickets or incidents, having additional vehicle data simplifies resolution, for example, identifying a car by its colour or model.

Richer data for smarter decisions
Enhances planning, optimizes resources and increases facility profitability:

• Advanced analytics
• User segmentation by vehicle type or brand
• Usage pattern analysis (vehicle types, peak hours, etc.)
• Service optimization

Artificial Intelligence at the core of SmartLPR

All these capabilities are powered by Quercus’ Artificial Intelligence technology, designed to continuously improve accuracy and adapt to different environments and vehicle types.

Beyond the license plate

Make, model and colour recognition transforms SmartLPR into an advanced vehicle identification solution, where each vehicle is no longer just a license plate, but a complete set of valuable information.

This enables operators to move towards smarter, safer and more data-driven parking and access management.
