            Abstract : 
In this study, a new method based on genetic algorithm and neural networks for determining licence plate location is proposed. The effect of genetic algorithm parameters on the quality of solutions is investigated. The method is able to successfully locate a licence plate in avearge 40 msn, on the image of 768x288 size. This score is 200 times quicker compared to sequential search method. Futhermore the method is able to find multiple plates in an image.
