Could you build this?
Partial Routing around specific camera locations requires maintaining an accurate, crowd-sourced or scraped proprietary database of ALPR installations and custom cost-weighted routing graph algorithms.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an OpenStreetMap-based routing engine (such as OSRM or Valhalla) modified with custom cost penalties for road segments within camera proximity, paired with a pipeline to continuously collect, verify, and geocode Flock ALPR locations across jurisdictions. Expertise in geospatial GIS processing, routing algorithms, and intelligence gathering on private surveillance networks is essential.
