It is possible to form a search query:

  1. By recognized vehicles;
  2. By alarms.

Creating the search query by vehicles

To create the search query by vehicles, do the following:

  1. Go to the Search by vehicles tab.
  2. In the Vehicle's license plate group:

    1. From the Search operation list (1) select a logical construction, used for uniting several elements of the key phrase, which correspond to the LP numbers or their parts that are being searched:

      • AND – for searching by numbers, containing all the elements of the key phrase;

      • OR – for searching by numbers, containing at least one element of the key phrase.

    2. In the (2) field, enter the key phrase. The elements of the key phrase can be separated by comma "," or semicolon ";".

      The key phrase may include usual characters and picture-characters in the required combination.


      Picture-characters

      Description of Picture-characters

      Example of search query

      %

      Any string in length from zero and more characters

      Search query a%385%78 returns LP numbers, containing the elements 'a', '385' and '78', divided by any number of characters, for example 'AO38578', 'a385mk78'

      _ (underlining)

      Any single character

      Search query 2__5 returns LP numbers, containing the sequence of four characters, the first of which is '2', the last one is '5',for example, 'A256577', '2115OК43'

      []

      Any single character within the range ([a-e]) or in the set ([abcde])

      Search query [e-m][2-5]53 returns LP numbers, containing the sequence of four characters. The sequence ends in '53', the first character belongs to the range e-m, the second one belongs to the range 2-5, for example, 'k453mn02', 'm253bt63'

      [^]

      Any single character outside the range ([^a-e]) or the set ([^abcde])

      Search query [^e-m]499 returns LP numbers, containing the sequence of four characters. The sequence ends in '499', the first character does not belong to the range e-m, for example 'b499bk57', 'n499578'


    3. Set the License plate not recognized checkbox (3) if it is necessary to display all the numbers.

      Selection of the checkbox License plate not recognized is enabled only if the OR logical construction is selected in the Search operation dropdown list.


    4. Set the Partly recognized checkbox if it is necessary to display partially recognized numbers (4).
    5. Set the 'Space' in car number checkbox (5) if it is necessary to display the numbers that contain a space between the characters.
    6. Set the Acceptable error amount check box (6) to display the numbers with the errors (character mismatches), the amount of which is indicated in the drop-down list.
  3. In the Regional code group set the checkboxes for those regional codes events for which should be returned while being searched.
  4. In the LP region group set the checkboxes for those regions, which events should be returned while being searched.
  5. In the LP colors group select color of regional code and basic color of the license plate.
  6. In the Date/time group set the time range within which the required events have been registered. By default this range is not activated (checkboxes from and to are disabled). To activate it, set the checkboxes From and/or To and then click  button and in the appeared calendar set the required date. Enter the required time in the field From and/or To. If only upper or bottom boundary is selected, the search query will return the events, registered before or after the set deadline correspondingly. To disable the search by date and time, uncheck From and To checkboxes.

  7. In the Plate recognizers group set the checkboxes for those plate recognizers, which events are to be returned while being searched.

    By default, information about objects removed from the Intellect software package is not displayed in the Plate recognizers group. Select Show deleted in the View menu of the Event search in the Recognizers DBs main window to search by removed servers of plate recognizers. After this all removed servers of plate recognizers will be displayed in the Plate recognizers group. Set checkboxes for those plate recognizers which will be used while being searched.  

  8. From the list Registered speed select the required filter of vehicle speed and then in the activated field(s) enter the threshold value(s) of vehicle speed. The following speed filters are available:

  9. From the Direction list select the required filter concerning the direction of the vehicle. The following direction filters are available:

  10. In the Countries group set the checkbox for the country, which events should be returned while being searched.

    Only the countries whose license plate numbers have already been recognized earlier are displayed in the Countries group, since the information about the countries for this filter is taken from the recognized plates database.


  11. In the Comment group:

    1. From the Search operation list (1) select a logical construction, used for uniting several elements of the key phrase, corresponding to the comments, that are being searched:
      • and – for searching by comments, containing all the elements of the key phrase;
      • or – for searching by comments, containing at least one element of the key phrase.
    2. In the Comment field (2) enter the key phrase, containing one or several comma separated elements, corresponding to the comments to the events, which are being searched, and which were specified in the Online monitor window (see Adding comments to the events).

    3. Set the Empty comment checkbox (3) to include the uncommented events in the search.

       The selection of the Blank comment checkbox is enabled only if the OR logical construction is selected in the Search operation dropdown list..


  12. From the Validity list select the required Validity filter and then in the activated field(s) enter the threshold of Validity value(s) in percent. The following Validity filters are available:

  13. In the Recognition cameras field set the checkboxes for the cameras, which events should be returned while being searched.

Creating the search query by events is completed.

After creating the search query, run its processing (see Query launching).

Creating the search query by alarms

To create the search query by alarms, do the following:

  1. Go to the Search by alarms tab.
  2. Repeat steps 2-12 of the section Forming the search query by events as applied to interface elements of the tab Search by alarms.

    The External database group contains a list of all the databases that have ever been used together with the Vehicle Tracer module but, by default, databases removed from the Intellect software package are not displayed in the list. Select the Show deleted in the View menu of Event search in the Recognizers DBs main window to search by removed servers of plate recognizers. 

    As a result, all external databases removed from the system will be displayed in the list. Set checkboxes for those databases which will be used while being searched.  

  4. From the Permitted speed list select the required speed filter, permitted on the controlled road area and then in the activated field(s) enter the threshold speed value(s) in km/h. The following filters of the permitted speed are available:

  7. In the Alarm accepted by group, set the checkboxes for the operators who received the alarm events to display these events in the search query.

  8. In the Alarm type group, set the checkboxes for the alarms, which have to be returned in results of search query:

  9. In the Comment from external DB group:

    1. From the Search operation list (1), select the logical construct which is used to combine several elements of the key phrase, that correspond to the comments to the events to be searched in external databases:
      • AND - to search for comments that contain all the elements of the key phrase;
      • OR - to search for comments that contain at least one element of the key phrase.
    2. In the field (2), enter a key phrase consisting of one or more elements, separated by commas, that correspond to the comments to the events to be searched in external databases that are specified in the External DB group (see Creating the Active tracking database).
