| LPR CAMERA | License Plate Recognition Camera |
| Axle Counter | Axle Counter is used in electronic toll collection as axle counting device in free flow application |
| BCCM | Brand Color Class & Model |
| BW | Black & White |
| CCTV | Closed-Circuit Television – a system that sends television signals to a limited number of screens, and is often used in shops and public places to prevent crime |
| Cameras on Top of Traffic-light | Traffic monitoring cameras typically sit on top of traffic lights and monitoring traffic flows through an intersection |
| CPU | Central Processing Unit |
| ETC | Automatic toll collection designed to drastically reduce the time needed to pay tolls, in fact it is no longer based on the direct payment by the driver but on electonic payment generated by the recognition of the vehicle |
| FPS | Frames Per Second |
| FOV | Field Of View |
| Free-Flow Tolling | The collection of tolls on toll roads without the use of toll booths |
| FTP | File Transfer Protocol |
| GB | Giga Byte |
| GPS | Global Positioning System |
| HD | High Definition |
| IP | Internet Protocol |
| IR | InfraRed |
| ITS | Intelligent Transportation System |
| LED | Light Emitting Diode |
| LEZ | Low-Emission Zone – is a defined area where access by some polluting vehicles is restricted or deterred with the aim of improving the air quality |

| LPRS | License Plate Recognition System |
| LTZ | Limited Traffic Zone |
| MODBUS | Serial communication protocol |
| MPX | Mega Pixel |
| NASP | National ANPR Standards for Policing |
| NP | Network Protocol |
| NRD | Number Plate Reading Device |
| NTCIP | National Transportation Communications for ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) Protocol |
| OCR | Optical Character Recognition |
| ONVIF | ONVIF is an open industry forum that provides and promotes standardized interfaces for effective interoperability of IP-based physical security products. |
| OZ | Optical Zoom |
| Plate Patch | An image showing the number plate only |
| RFID | Radio-frequency identification |
| SDK | Software Development Kit |
| Smart Camera | Is an embedded machine vision system which, in addition to image capture circuitry, is capable of extracting application-specific information by built-in capability of processing the captured images, along with generating event descriptions or making decisions that are used in an intelligent and automated system. The Smart camera is capable of uploading and sharing processing results and images via built-in network connection. |
| SNMP | Simple Network Management Protocol |
| Speed Control Camera | Camera recording a vehicle’s speed using radar or other instrumentation and taking a photograph of the vehicle when it exceeds a threshold limit |
| Stop & Go Tolling | It’s a method of toll collecting with the direct payment by the driver of the vehicle at the time of passage. The Stop&go tolling requires the vehicle to stop and pay the toll, this increases costs for operating the toll booths and increased road congestion |

| TAS | Traffic Analysis Systems |
| TB | Terabyte |
| TCP | Transmission Control Protocol |
| Traffic Enforcement Camera | The Traffic Enforcement Camera program automatically enforces traffic violations such as speeding and crossing red lights, with the goal of reducing the number of traffic accidents and resulting casualties |
| TMS | Traffic Monitoring System |
| Traffic Monitoring Camera | Cameras monitoring traffic flows, speeds and classifications on all lanes and turns of the intersections in real time and also create automatic traffic reports for traffic planners and consultants for later analysis |
| UTMC | Urban Traffic Management and Control |
| Vehicle Access Control System | The system provides authorised and controlled access through automated barriers, roller doors, shutters and gates. |
| VMS | Video Management System |
| XML | eXtensible Markup Language |
| ZEZ | Zero-Emission Zone – is a LEZ where only zero-emission vehicles are allowed |
