This research project explored the potential of utilizing license plate readers for congestion management. With increasing congestion issues at National Parks across the United States, it was imperative to explore effective strategies to alleviate this problem. Specifically, license plate readers were strategically installed at the entrances and exits throughout the main attractions at the park, enabling the collection of plate numbers to collect data. The project resulted in a successful showcasing of the cameras' accuracy and real-time data collection capabilities, enabling meaningful correlations to be established.
