Assessment of the Impact of Displaying Two Rear Registration Plates on ANPR

Abstract

This paper considers the implications of displaying two rear registration plates on trailers following the UK's ratification of the Vienna Convention of Road Traffic. The UK's application of the Vienna Convention is at variance with that of EU members that have ratified the Vienna Convention. Furthermore, it considers how the variability of UK registration plates can have an adverse impact on Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and capture rate.
