Speed trap systems have been widely used worldwide by local authorities. This is one of the ways to control the speeding of public cars. The systems are often installed at hidden areas. In real situation, the image of over-speeding vehicle is captured by a high speed camera. In this study, a mobile phone equipped with a camera is used to capture the plate number and the image is sent by the mobile phone to the modem. The aim of this study is to develop a system that can be used by the public to capture over-speeding vehicles or offender images and send to the modem which is connected to the computer that acts like the main control office. The received image is analyzed to extract the plate numbers into individual character using image processing technique.
