An intelligent automatic license plate recognition (IALPR) system implements technical solutions that improve the accuracy of automatic license plate recognition. The IALPR analyzes an image of a vehicle proximate to a toll collection point using optical character recognition (OCR), and determines candidate license plate identifications based, at least in part, on the corresponding OCR confidence level. The IALPR can also perform fingerprinting for candidate license plate images and matching analysis with a knowledge base, resulting in additional confidence levels. The IALPR can also perform behavioral analysis on the candidate license plate identifications, including trip context analysis, historical behavioral analysis, or other analytics. The IALPR can generate an overall confidence level for the candidate license plate identifications responsive to the OCR and vehicle fingerprint confidence levels and the behavioral analysis. This enhanced analysis helps the IALPR reduce the number of incorrect license plate identifications and reduce the need for human review.
