Traffic diagnosis and management strategies are generally considered the most cost-efficient approaches to reduce traffic congestion. Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) is one of the most valuable data sources for traffic diagnosis and management. It outperforms many traditional methods of traffic data collection in terms of cost and accuracy. Many cities have deployed their ALRP systems in the past two decades. In those cities, traffic networks are highly covered by ALPRs. ALPRs produce a tremendous amount of …
