Having worked for a traffic enforcement company. It is actually more than what meets the eye. ANPR and hardware is probably 5% of the actual infrastructure. Rest of it is generally a pipeline that most of time has to be retrofitted with their existing infrastructure. Lot of the cost into project management and aligning the spec understanding. So when someone says a project is worth $86 million it is not just the hardware and anpr but the whole pipeline integrated with various complicated government workflows, assuring SLO and various other guarantees
