Service summary
ANPR studies support agreed movement or matching analysis using controlled registration observations under an approved lawful protocol.
When it is used
Use it only where the project purpose, privacy basis, handling rules and secure workflow are defined.
Methodology
Agree collection, access, matching, retention, aggregation and reporting rules before any processing.
Inputs and source requirements
Provide lawful project instructions, locations, time alignment, matching/output rules and security requirements.
Movements and classifications
Report approved aggregated movement findings, never public real registration plates.
Time intervals
Time windows and site clocks must be controlled when matching observations across locations.
Typical deliverables
Aggregated outputs, method/privacy notes, coverage and exception records as agreed.
Quality control
Review time alignment, matching logic, access control and aggregation before delivery.
Limitations
Results reflect the approved source coverage and rules; they are not a complete network census.
Privacy and security
Sensitive identifiers require approved secure handling and are never submitted through public forms.
Frequently asked questions
Are registration plates published?
No. Real registration plates are not published by SWAT Alliance.
Can an ANPR survey be used for route choice?
It can support an agreed route or movement question when the lawful scope and matching rules are documented.
Can raw registration data be sent through the public form?
No. Sensitive identifiers are never submitted through the public form; secure handling is agreed separately where lawful.
Can different sites be matched?
Yes, when clocks, locations, matching rules and the lawful project scope are controlled.
