    Abstract: An apparatus for recording license plates of vehicles travelling on a road having several adjacent lanes comprises a vehicle classification sensor configured to detect a predetermined shape characteristic of a vehicle or group of vehicles. The apparatus further comprises at least one camera mounted at an elevated point beside one of the lanes and having an angle of aperture covering at least one of said lanes, each lane covered by at least one camera. The vehicle classification sensor is configured to, upon detecting the predetermined shape characteristic on a lane, trigger the camera that covers the lane the predetermined shape characteristic is detected on to record an image of a license plate on the back of the vehicle or group's leading vehicle, respectively, for which the predetermined shape characteristic is detected. The triggered camera is of a lane either adjacent to or at least one lane apart from the lane.

    Abstract: A license plate assembly includes a backing and a flexible license plate. The flexible license plate includes plural layers, including a licensing-information layer, in which ink is deposited in the form of alphanumeric characters on an underlying one of the plural layers, the alphanumeric characters providing license information. The flexible license plate optionally includes one or more holograms, and/or watermarks, and/or QR-codes. The flexible license plate is disposed on the backing, which extends beyond the perimeter of the flexible license plate, defining a marginal region. In some embodiments, plural indices are disposed in the marginal region to facilitate alignment of flexible license plate during installation thereof on a motor vehicle.
