CARPET helps to reduce traffic violations, track stolen vehicles and make roads safer. CARPET also removes the need for toll booths, increases traffic throughput, stops ticketing fraud, and improves operational efficiency. CARPET captures the images of vehicles entering and leaving car parks thus providing the necessary information for the authorities to take immediate action.

CARPET has the following advantages:

• Increases efficiency
  
  
• Reduces cost through automation
  
  
• Decreases the number of entrances and exits required due to faster traffic flow
  
  
• Ensures high accuracy and low cost of deployment
  
  
• Ensures a more secure environment
  
  

CARPET offers the following features:

• High recognition rates for all types of license plates found on South East Asia including multi-line and cursive script, such as Putrajava or Satria.
  
  
• Suitable for all weather conditions.
  
  
• Robust recognition.

CARPET has been implemented at all Malaysian Borders crossing points (75 lanes) for monitoring vehicles leaving the country for immigration purposes. CARPET is implemented at the Malaysian Police Headquarters, Bukit Aman for purposes of tracking vehicle entry and exit. In both cases, CARPET was selected from a number of competing systems as it provided the highest rate of accuracy, superior support, and value.
