CCTVClosed-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-lightTraffic 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

Smart CameraIs 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.
SNMPSimple 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 TollingIt’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
