Using existing Machine Learning based Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system vehicle locations are monitored continuously. the instant a vehicle crosses the three-km limit; an automatic alert is sent out to the police. Additionally through the mixing of Regional Transport Authority's database vehicle owners are identified aiding officials to issue a warning.
