There are three kinds of devices used in the ETLE system, which has been applied since November last year, namely an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera, a checkpoint camera and speed radar.
The ANPR camera can capture a vehicle's license plate number, synchronize it with data on a vehicle database and determine the violation the driver committed.
The checkpoint camera can further elaborate on the kind of violation, such as if the driver violated the plate number rule, did not wear a safety belt or used a mobile phone while driving.
The speed radar, meanwhile, is a sensor that is connected to the checkpoint camera to detect a vehicle's speed in real time. The sensor sends a notification when a vehicle exceeds the speed limit. (tru)
