Computer vision based smart overspeeding vehicle surveillance system

Abstract

In India, overspeeding causes more than 60% of deaths. Therefore, we need a system that tracks the median speed of cars and identifies those who regularly violate the law. Road fatalities can be reduced as a result of maintaining law and order. In this paper, we present an embedded system that can read the license plates of passing cars in real time. Using optical character recognition technology, the proposed system will capture images of license plates. In addition, it sends short message service (SMS) notifications regarding the highway speed of a specific moving vehicle violating the rules to the relevant authorities. By using this technique, several manual operations that were previously required to detect over-speeding automobiles with RADAR guns are eliminated. On the roadway, the device can only be operated by one operator due to its well-developed user interface. As part of this work, a downloadable database is developed which includes information about speeding vehicles as well as vehicles travelling on a roadway at the moment they are detected.
