The invention relates to a module (100) for dispensing tickets, comprising: a chassis (1) holding a plurality of cassettes (3) each comprising a housing for housing a book of tickets and a dispensing mechanism, and a movable robot (2) configured to be selectively coupled with one of the cassettes (3).

The robot comprises: an actuator (21) for extracting a terminal portion of the book by actuating the dispensing mechanism of the cassette, and a reception device receiving this terminal portion.

The reception device and the dispensing mechanism are jointly configured to align a separation line of the terminal portion of the book with a separating device, and/or to tension said terminal portion in order to allow the ticket to be separated by the separating device.

Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting a printer jam. The systems and methods can include receiving a reference image of a printer opening and a second image of the printer opening. A lack of a receipt between the second image compared to the reference image can be detected. The lack of the receipt can indicate the printer jam. After detecting the printer jam, operation of the self-service terminal can be terminated.

The present invention provides a system (1000) for reducing speed of a vehicle and a method thereof which reduces the speed of the vehicle and increases fuel efficiency. The system (1000) comprises at least one protruding element (200) positioned on a surface of a roadway (110) such that the at least one protruding element (200) interrupts a smooth movement of the vehicle (100); and at least one camera (400) located away from the at least one protruding element (200) such that the at least one camera (400) is able to capture images of a monitored area of the roadway (110). The at least one camera (400) is configured to capture at least one image of a moving vehicle (100) going around and avoiding the at least one protruding element (200) in the monitored area of the roadway (110). A method for reducing speed of a vehicle is also disclosed.

Implementations of a licensing and ticketing system is provided. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a request for licensing information at a first computing device. In some implementations, the computer-implemented method further comprises retrieving at the first computing device licensing information from storage on the first computing device wherein the retrieved licensing information includes a unique license number issued by a governmental entity, a name, and a pre-stored photograph. In some implementations, the computer-implemented method further comprises capturing a current photograph at the first computing device after receiving the request for licensing information. In some implementations, the computer-implemented method further comprises transmitting at the first computing device the retrieved licensing information including the pre-stored photograph and the current photograph over a network to the second computing device. In some implementations, the computer-implemented method further comprises receiving ticketing information at the first computing device wherein the ticketing information includes a law citation.
